More About The Addax:
Active mostly during the early morning and evening hours to remain cool, the Addax’s diet consists of lush green grass, Texas scrub brush, and moisture rich tubers and melons.
Because they can survive longer without water due to their adaptation ot desert-like conditions, a high-grade pair of binoculars to spot their spiraled antlers in the grasslands proves the best spotting method.
The average longevity of an Addax on the various LONE OAK ADVENTURES ranches is up to 19 years with proper hunting management.
Although Addax gravitate towards hard packed sandy areas that will support their herbivore diet, the Addax is no stranger to the rugged limestone hills, sandy plains and basins of Texas.
As with many antelope species, both male and female Addax have spiral horns typically between 30”-43” long with 1 ½ - 3 spiral twists - this their nickname, “screwhorn antelope’
The Addax meander in nomadic herds of 5-20 members led by the dominant Addax buck. Able to smell impending rainfall from miles away, the Addax can change direction rather unpredictably.
