About the Scimbok Antelope
Info About the Scimbok
The scimbok is a unique, highly sought-after hybrid antelope created by crossing a gemsbok oryx with a scimitar-horned oryx. Primarily found on private game ranches in Texas, this intentionally bred exotic species combines the best physical characteristics of both parent lineages, resulting in a distinctly beautiful and massive animal.
Physically, the scimbok inherits the robust, heavy-bodied frame and the dramatic, long, straight horns of the gemsbok. However, it takes on the elegant, sandy-tan to rich golden-brown coat and striking white underbelly and legs of the scimitar-horned oryx. This striking contrast gives the hybrid a regal, distinctly African appearance. Their impressive, ridged horns can grow to well over 40 inches in length, making them a highly prized trophy.
Recommended Calibers
Use a minimum of a .30 caliber rifle to bring down a scimbok.

What is Considered a Trophy Scimbok
