After a long drive south, we subsequently made it to the ranch in which we would be hunting over the following couple of days. West texas offers some unique home designs and engineering that can most effective be located on own family ranches. It become sincerely super to find a inn in such a rural region with so many services.

After we got settled at the resort we loaded up and headed out into the glass mountains of west texas to see if we could discover a few aoudad.

We exceeded at the ram within the right of the photograph, however my client ended up harvesting the one at the left. As you could see it become a tremendous old ram that we handed up.

As soon as it changed into all said and carried out, my client harvested a exquisite ram that measured 31.5” with decent curls. He made a super shot and was full of electricity and excitement at his achievement. My customers response jogged my memory why we hunt!

I have visible aoudad killed in high fence places inside the hill usa of texas that have hoof troubles due to the fact the terrain isn’t their natural habitat. It basically looks as if a protracted curled up toenail.

Right here is every other image to offer you an idea of the way antique he's and what kind of mass he carried all of the way thru. He measured 30”, but he had broomed off probable a very good three” and we guessed him to be at the least 12 years old. In case you look you could see the age rings stacked in there. An top notch ram! I would be happy to help any hunters who are seeking out a outstanding aoudad hunt.
