Just recently back from our DIY aoudad hunt out in far west TX. Felt good to be back in home turf territory and chasing sheep. The ranch we hunted has no roads, no amenities, and certainly no high fences. It's all on foot and on your back. Camp was the back of my Toyota and the sandy wash at the base of the mtns.
We went 3 for 3 and we all able to take some great rams home.
A bit of the terrain.
Zac's ram:
Jeremy's ram:
And my ram:
Lastly, here is a link to the video of our hunt. I hope you guys enjoy it.
just watched to footage mate well done outstanding hunting and that's an awesome ram you got, just hope I can get one as good when I am hunting in Texas Feb next year

And being a classic rock guy, loved the use of Zep,PF and Aerosmith in the background!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

We have 2 DIY slots left available on this exact property for next season. If interested (and up to the challenge!) shoot me a PM and we'll get you lined out on some big aoudad rams!
Great hunt and great photos and video. You should get Wyman Meinzer's Desert Sanctuaries; the Chinatis of Big Bend. He is a great photographer and the book has spectacular shots of the very country you hunted in. Reading it and studying the photos will add to the enjoyment of your great hunt.
Great sheep x 3, Congrats! I hunted near Valentine Tx in the early '90's with Henry Macintyre ( sp?). Never got one but hunting with Henry was worth the price of admission, a real old time Texas Cowboy, now gone.
