| A few Aoudad sheep from Marathon TX | Login/Join |
| One of Us |
Some friends and I hunting in the mountains around Marathon a few weeks ago and took a few nice Aoudad. The largest was just under 31". Tough huning no roads in the mountains so all on foot with backpacks. This hunt was as reminded me a lot of Ibex in Mongolia. I was using a 300 Jarrett built on a Stiller Predator action with a Kreiger Barrel. The larger of the two was cleanly taken a 467 yds, while the smaller was 317 yds.     6x NFR Qualifier NFR Champion Reserve World Champion Bareback Rider PRCA Million Dollar Club 02' Salt Lake Olympic Qualifier and an all around good guy! | ||

I agree those are pretty nice Doodads. Is there public land around there or is it on a big ranch? I would love to hunt them someday all it takes is time and money! | |||

Yes, they're pretty good eating. One wouldn't think so while skinning a male due to the randy odor but the meat is great. Nice ones! "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

I'm thinking anyone that thinks a ram like those tastes great, probably hasn't eaten one. The meat is tied together with 20# test line or equivalent. If you get your rocks off chewing, you might like them, because you will chew a lot, and swallow damn seldom. I spit nearly all of mine out, and I thought I gave it a damn good effort. My wife and kids went straight to the trash with theirs. | |||

Sorry yours wasn't edible. But I speak from first hand experience when I say mine was very good. Maybe it was a difference in diet. Ours don't have access to monofilament  "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Tiggertate, I would rather nail the meat to a wall and eat the horns. | |||

Good Rams. Audad hunting in West TX can be a tough hunt. Some of those ranches out there have no roads and what fences do exist were built around WWII or before. It's probably the toughest hunt you can do in TX. The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends. I didn't learn this by reading about it or seeing it on TV. I learned it by doing it. | |||

Good looking ram Jason, congrats. Had the pleasure of hunting them myself and I highly enjoy it. Did you try the meat? Regardless of what I'd heard for years, it turns out great. No gamey flavor and good on the grill.
