Definitely a lechwe, a lot of ranches in Texas have them.
 
This could be an interesting story! What was he hunting turkeys with that could take down a lechwe? In Texas can you hunt spring turkey with a rifle?Are any of the neighboring ranches missing one of their relatively high dollar lechwe bulls?

A couple of the ranches I’ve hunted turkey and Javalina on south of Kingsville offered exotic hunting and had lechwe. One had a lot of lechwe and advertised them as Kafue, some farther south advertised their lechwe as red lechwe.
 
Good thing it wasn’t a Tasmanian Tiger!

Shoot first, ask questions later?
 
“And thank god I’m a good shot and didn’t knock off one of those weird looking antlers”!!

“Plus I got a tag for a hermaphrodite blackbuck-whitetail cross I’ve been sitting on for years!”

“What we call a unicorn round these parts” “I called it supper”…

One of the great things about Texas is if it’s not a whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn or desert bighorn you don’t need anything but a general hunting license as far as big game goes.
 
Only in TX would you go out for a turkey and come back with a red lechwe...then the rancher told him the trophy fee and he got sick afterwards.
 
They sure do have a strange gobble though!
 
I think he had finished turkey hunting and was going back to camp , when he saw it
And had a deer rifle in the truck, a lucky stumble across as exotic animals aren’t usually found around the area
 
Someone needs to ride their fence. Murdering one on a game ranch would run $8-10K.

I realized I got a little carried away with my comments. It just seems so bizarre and random to shoot and kill an animal that you are not familiar with. I could appreciate a coyote or feral hog…

Lucky him , I usually don’t catch a break
