A friend of mine killed one of those on a ranch in Texas recently. It hat gotten onto the ranch and the land owner didn't know what it was and just let him shoot it. Lucky individual to say the least.

I didn't learn this by reading about it or seeing it on TV. I learned it by doing it.

There are Tahr on Mt. Taylor here in New Mexico. They were imported for a high-fence hunting operation but many are not inside a fence. There is no closed-season on the ones outside the fence.

Gibson, Yes I'm sure it wasnt an audad. I saw the pics. He's killed quite a few audad already. There arent too many exotic animals that Texas doesnt have at some point or another. Outdoor Writer is right, although the Davis Mountains in west Texas are pretty rough.

Wow, I had no idea there were any in the States. Seems like a lot of states have some weird non-native species running around these days. I just saw an axis doe this fall in Northern Michigan!
