DIY West Texas Aoudad

With the way your fall has been going you should have bought a power ball ticket!

Congrats!

My mom taught me the best way to play the lottery was to take that $5 and put in back in your pocket, haha.

I watched it before I even saw the thread. Congrats on the ram!

Congratulations on a hard earned trophy. Anyone that has ever hunted Audoud can certainly understand the physical difficulty of the hunt.

That’s wise teaching is how you can afford so many hunts

I've been looking at doing that same hunt for a couple of years and haven't pulled the trigger yet every time I see some great hunt photos it just brings me closer and closer maybe this winter once the snow piles up and it gets colder here in MT I will make the trip

Congratulations!
If I were a critter and heard you were coming to hunt, I'd either go run off a cliff or just walk up to you and say, 'get it over with.'

Nice write up…congrats on the ram!
If you end up eating any of it, I’m interested to hear what you think? Never tried it personally but everything I hear is that it’s pretty rough.

I shot one a few years ago in New Mexico and thought the flavor of the meat was good, but it was pretty tough.

I made sausage out of it. Haven’t tried it yet but just skinning and cutting the meat was tough.

Big congrats, neighbor

I’ve always wanted to try Auodad, but I’m not sure about the meat. I’m just intrigued by a beautiful animal that can thrive in that environment, and since they are non-native I don’t worry about the ecological impact if I don’t like the meat

Just to be fair the whitetail here at home are absolutely kicking my rear end. I'm getting pretty frustrated with them.
