Headed out to do some work last week before our group Ewe hunt and enjoyed a nice cool front that came in making the temps drop into the 50s instead of the expected 90s. Got work done and met a client for a quick hunt on some new property I picked up and just about an hour into the hunt we had a great ram down. I jumped them at only 25 yards and luckily when they took off I knew right where they were going and we were able to cut them off and get a nice easy 90 yard shot off.

After the ram hunt we made our way down to the Devils River area to thin some ewes off a ranch that has too many on the property. I got to meet some new people as well as hunt with old friends. A total of 7 ewes were taken in 2 days and Paul made an incredible 220 yard shot with his open sights 30-30 and dropped his ewe in its tracks.

Glad to be home though after a long trip.

I've hunted with mulie_mike, he a great guide/outfitter and a great guy. He'll bust his butt for you to find you an animal.
 
I have always wanted to hunt aoudad, what times of year would you suggest would be the best ?
Gonna check out your website for prices etc.

Thanks
 
Best time of year is the later part of September and the month of October for the rut to see the most activity but its west Texas and it will still be warm/hot days with cool nights.
We dont hunt them in November/December because I do whitetail and mule deer hunts (unless a combo hunt is booked) but the next best time would be about mid January through mid to late February for cooler weather hunts possibly
into early March but you may deal with windy conditions then. They like to sun often so the cooler weather hunts push them out into the open making for easier glassing.

They can be hunted year round though you just wont see as many of them and in fact our 2nd biggest ram was taken in June in 100+ degree temps.
