West Texas Aoudad Hunt

Hunt Overview

The outfitter offers a fully guided, free-range aoudad hunt in the rugged and remote caprock country of West Texas. Also known as Barbary sheep, aoudad originated in North Africa and have thrived in this harsh environment since their introduction in the late 1940s.

With a population exceeding 25,000 animals statewide, this region provides exceptional opportunity. The outfitter’s private ranch sits in a high-density area, offering hunters consistent encounters with mature rams in true Western-style terrain.

This is a classic spot-and-stalk hunt, requiring physical effort, patience, and time behind the glass. Hunts are carefully managed and limited each year to ensure quality experiences and strong trophy potential.
