Huge aoudad trophy
Check out this huge aoudad taken by Rick McCue.

My wife and I just did an aoudad hunt and it's as much a sheep hunt as Dall or bighorn, but a lot less expensive and at lower elevations. It was great fun and I'd recommend it to anybody thinking of trying a sheep hunt.
My wife took a nice ram at just under 31". McCue's is just exceptional!

ryno, that rams name surely was Giganto! What a toad! He has mass to go with length. That would have made an awesome life size mount.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

The rest of what I know about that auodad, he was shot in 2004 on the outskirts of the Davis Mountains. It is a free ranging auodad.

Hmmm - that first Aoudad does not look as big as stated in the link; at least the bases.

The second link, of the skull, that looks like a 38" incher.

And remember... NEVER shoot an Aoudad behind the shoulder. I know more guys that have lost their Aoudad this way than I can count. That shot is a GUT shot. Lungs between the shoulders, heart in front of the shoulder.

Pound for pound, toughest game on the planet.
