I am curious to find out how many if any of you have ever hunted audad in west Texas. What was it like, how much could you expect to pay and who did you hunt with? I'm thinking of booking a hunt soon and wanted or needed some advice.
Thanks,

LAST EDITED ON Sep-30-03 AT 01:11PM (MST)[p]T264 give me a call Toll Free 1-877-647-9926 or email me for information about Aoudad hunts . I represent several outfitters who do Free ranging Aoudad hunts in West TX. and New Mexico. [email protected] www.sportsmansjunctionoutdooradventures.com
email me at [email protected] and I will forward some info to you. A close personal friend of mine has, without a shadow of a doubt, the best area in west TX to hunt Aoudad. He kills some of the best in the state year in and year out. I will post pics later.
Here is one that I guided on a few years back. He was the #5 at the time. This ram was 14 years old and it was a tough hunt! The rams that my friend produces will be close to this but not quite this big. The rugged country in west TX where there are free-ranging aoudad lives is tough to hunt. If properly managed you can find this age class ram but it is hard to find the areas that have not been hammered.
Thanks for the replies and great auodad Vinihunt.
I am looking to book a hunt for next year sometime and appreciate your information. I will e:mail you Huntsonora and SJ.
I think they make great shoulder mounts and also the more rugged the hunt the better.
Thanks,
