Hunting & Fishing Aoudad

[mulie_mike]

Just got back from a hunt out in Van Horn. First day was beautiful weather and everything went according to plan. By 10am the ram was down.Borris made a heck of a shot on this ram at 370yds. We shot some excellent video of the hunt which I will be posting later.

Day 2 50mph winds and dust everywhere, spotted a couple nice rams right at dark.

Day 3 closed the distance just couldnt connect.

The ram was 28inches (not the biggest) but was broomed down at least 5 inches, the pictures dont do him justice but he is massive and old.

Pictures were from my phone so sorry for the quality.

(5 miles from the truck/taking a lunch brake)

Re: Aoudad

Nice Ram, Thanks for sharing.
Now you need a Burro or 4 wheeler to get him 5 miles back to your truck.

Texas sports a few species that aren't native, this being one.

Nice ram, just out of curiosity how do they taste, or what do they compare too.

Re: Aoudad

Re: Aoudad

Thanks all. Working on the video, they dont eat good unless you take a very young one and season it well.

Bribri- Not sure about the ones out there but the ones we harvested here in Hawaii were great tasting.
