USA: West Texas Aoudad, February 2026

I've done 2 aoudad hunts out of Van Horn, on a ranch where you can see the border/Rio Grande. Terrain really surprised me with its ruggedness. Amazed me the sheep could find enough to eat out there!

Nice! You shot the oldest and the longest!

You should SCI score method 11 him when you get em back! Looks like it could be gold!

My favorite hunt just about anywhere! Glad you got a good one! Such beautiful country

I was out there over Valentine’s Day closer to Marfa filming a hunt for my buddy. North west of the ranch you were hunting. Filmed a hunt of a 34”inch giant. SCI scored 146” here I am with em.

Screen shot right before he gets dropped, a specimen!

Thanks for sharing and again, glad you got the good one out of the group!

My brother has killed several with a 257 Wby. Shot placement counts as we all know. I think Barnes or swift bullets.
