Aoudads stand 31 to 40 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh 88 to 300 lb. They are a sandy-brown color, darkening with age, with a slightly lighter underbelly and a darker line along the back. Upper parts and the outer parts of the legs are a uniform reddish-brown or grayish-brown. There is some shaggy hair on the throat (extending down to the chest in males) and a sparse mane. Their horns have a triangular cross section. The horns curve outwards, backwards then inwards, and reach up to 35 inches. The horns are smooth, but wrinkled at the base. The Aoudad are adapted to a dry, rough, barren, and waterless habitat. These sheep live in small groups comprised of old and young animals of both sexes. They are expert climbers and can ascend and descend slopes so precipitous that man can negotiate them only with great difficulty. Consequently, they are difficult to hunt. Their food consists of a wide variety of vegetation including grasses, forbs, and shrubs. Apparently, they are capable of producing metabolic water and can survive for long periods without access to fresh water. However, when water is available they utilize it for both drinking and bathing.
The hunting season for Exotic Aoudad is year round. the hybrid sheep average horn length is 28 to 35 inches and are hunted in Real, Uvalde and Zavala counties.
If you’re the type of hunter that likes to hunt 12 months a year, you've come to the right place. I offer monster exotics and action packed hog hunting. Exotics are hunted on foot, if you are able. We do have blinds if needed. You will pack 3-5 miles a day, so wear comfortable boots. Most shots will be between 100-300 yards. Please have your weapon sighted in and know where it is hitting at 100 yards. If you are a bow hunter, no problem! We have well placed stands.
There are two different prices categories: one for accommodation and meals and another one for the trophies, which depends on what you want to shoot. If you don’t shoot anything, you don't have to pay the trophy price. Included is also the transport on the territory, a professional guide and the trophy preparation.
