How trophy hunting in Texas became a multibillion-dollar industry

How trophy hunting in Texas became a multibillion-dollar industry
  • Texas is the epicenter of the exotic game industry in the United States.
  • People spend thousands to have a shot at hunting animals like zebras, cape buffalo, and even giraffes.
  • We explore the costs associated with breeding, hunting, and taxidermy.

Corrections: An earlier version of this video showed an image of a Grevy's zebra when referring to hunting. We corrected this to show a plains zebra, which can be hunted legally in the US. Another image of a Grevy's zebra suggested they can be sold for $4,500. We corrected this to $20,000. We also showed an image of a nyala instead of a kudu, which has also been corrected. We said it costs $14,000 to hunt kudu at Ox Ranch. This has been corrected to $19,500.
