Great Ram!Congratulations. I call this the most underrated hunt in North America. Challenging and difficult at times. I believe all hard core hunters should try this free range hunt, guaranteed great time and a great trophy. Here's mind taken in the Davis mountains.
Thanks buddy. He was at the time in the top 25 SCI.Great Ram!
He is a good one. I forget exactly what he was but yes at least 32 on both sides and carried his mass well thruout.@johnnyblues What a great ram.... looks well over 30+"
Purely a function of land access. Most of their range (at least in Texas) is privately owned ranch land. Knocking on doors is not really an option.Beautiful sheep! Aoudad are definitely on my short list of animals I plan on going after within the next couple years. I'm leaning more and more towards a DIY hunt though

Fully understand - been there was one - and a poorly paid junior army officer after that. NM has a really good draw and public access program (unlike my home state). Be sure and also look into the drawing for Ibex on and around White Sands. Wish you every success. Any such opportunity will be head and shoulders above simply killing one on a game farm.Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to do a guided one, unfortunately that might be a bit difficult to pull off on a student budget. I've looked into a couple places in NM that has them on private land or I've found a couple outfitters in TX that offer non guided hunts/land access for a reasonable price.
Yes, but if you lived in a place like that, you would probably never get anything done, other than hunt!Congrats on a well earned ram! Beautiful! The Davis Mountains are truly a special place. The country between Fort Davis and Balmorra is spectacular. Always dreamed of having a ranch out there to retire on. Love that country.
Exactly!....and your point is????? LOL Growing big mule deer and shooting coyotes seems like a perfect way to retire! Come on LOTTO!!!!!!!Yes, but if you lived in a place like that, you would probably never get anything done, other than hunt!
And a 1000 yard rifle range instead of your short 200 yard range Wes!Exactly!....and your point is????? LOL Growing big mule deer and shooting coyotes seems like a perfect way to retire! Come on LOTTO!!!!!!!
Out there, no need to stop at a 1000 yards! I like the way you think though!And a 1000 yard rifle range instead of your short 200 yard range Wes!![]()
