Meet some of last year's Big Time Texas Hunts winners and see how they did on their hunts.
Their entry bought them a premium guided hunt of a lifetime that included food, lodging, professional hunting guide and the opportunity to bring along a friend(s) to enjoy the experience.
The Texas Grand Slam winner gets 4 enviable hunts, including: bighorn sheep, pronghorn, mule deer and white-tailed deer.
 Winner of the 2021-2022 Texas Grand Slam, Kyle Kerstetter, shown with the 9-year-old Desert Bighorn Sheep he harvested, which scored 158 3/8”. Kyle harvested this mature ram in the Chihuahuan Desert at TPWD’s Elephant Mountain WMA. Kyle became one of the few public hunters to have the opportunity to hunt bighorn sheep in Texas, as only 2 or 3 permits are offered each year on state land.
 Exotic Safari winner, Trevor Baume, harvested this scimitar-horned oryx at Mason Mountain WMA. The winner also gets a trophy mount as part of the prize package.
