Finally had a chance to hunt Aoudad last December after a few years of thinking about it. Not a monster, but I am happy certainly with him, cant wait to get him home and on the wall!

Ruger fan,
the aoudad hunt was a fun, very tough hunt. I have lots of respect for aoudad after hunting them, to me in all my hunts, this guy is the toughest and weariest animal I have ever chased. I had watched many hunting shows over the years and thought it would be a fun and different hunt, I am glad I finally got to do it. It amazing how a more mature ram looks so much different than the younger ones, much darker and more brownish/red. The first time I saw him running it reminded me of a freight train or some monster middle linebacker, just solid.

me too, the wall bust is a cool pose, short of choosing a half life, this one is neat because you get most of the chaps!

Fabulous hunt my friend. I did it many years ago, tough hunt and IMO one of the most underrated big game animals in NA.

Nice one!

They are great animals.... I hunted the Trans Pecos 3 years straight. It was a lot of fun. Going back in about a year from now for an Aoudad. Hoping for a 30+". It a great experience out there & up in the Caprock too!

They are amazingly solid, tough animals.

The guide I hunted with gave me a hard time about using a 270 with a 150gr Partition. He actually wanted me to use his 338!

His claim was he had spent too much time chasing wounded Aoudad.

I didn't say it, but I thought "your average hunter does not put the bullet in the correct spot".

Congrats on your Aoudad!

Was this a DIY hunt or did you use a guide? If guided, can you give a recommendation?

Great looking trophies... especially like the pedestal type mount one!!

One of the very best for aoudad is a gentleman named Bubba Glosson. I think he goes by the name Southwest trophy hunts. I've hunted with him many times. You will not be disappointed.
