Benefits of Staying Local for Exotic Trophy Game Safari Hunts

There are numerous advantages to staying in the continental United States for your safari-style exotic game hunting experience. 

Convenience: Avoid long hours in the airport and the stress of international travel, not to mention visas, gun transportation and permitting, importing a trophy mount and/or game meat, and other difficulties that traveling to Africa or other safari hunting destinations in other countries. Instead, simply travel to Dallas-Fort Worth and after just a short drive, you’ll arrive at Cotton Mesa. With over 4200 acres of prime hunting land teeming with exotic game, you won’t be missing anything other than hours spent in a cramped plane!

Affordability: Cheap exotic game hunting is available right here in Texas. International safari hunts involve costly airline tickets, expensive hotels, and extended stays due to travel time and inefficient hunts. If you choose a safari hunt in the United States, you’ll save thousands of dollars in travel alone. At Cotton Mesa, we don’t price gouge. We are passionate about providing affordable exotic game hunts because we want to be a part of your hunting experience as you check off that bucket list. We love what we do and we want you to be able to experience the very best in local guided safari hunts without breaking the bank. 

Time-Savings: Traveling anywhere other than the United States or nearby countries eats up valuable time! If you have a limited amount of vacation time or simply want to indulge in other experiences, a local Texas safari hunt is a great option. For the hunter with a limited timeline, or one who has a long list of games to conquer, a local U.S. hunt is the way to go. Rather than spending your valuable time on travel, you’ll have ample time to enjoy more days of hunting, fishing, or simply relaxing at Cotton Mesa!
