Equinsu OchaDIY west TX aoudad hunt
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.

Equinsu OchaThanks gents!
It was a great hunt. I am already looking ahead to next year's hunt!
Coyote Hunter
My ram was 33" on his long side and 32 5/8" on his shorter. BUT he was broomed back on both sides.
Zac's and Jeremy's rams were both 30" on the nose. Jeremy's was tighter curl but a carried his mass further.

COYOTE HUNTERThat's about where I guessed him at.
I shot his twin several years ago. You don't see them that big very often.
Congratulations, great ram.

bwanamrmBig country, big aoudad! Well done Scott!
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.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

blanco countyGreat 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.

joesterGreat 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.
