This is one of our latest video from this spring in north Val Verde county. You can actually see the vapor trail on the kill shot!!!!

Nice video! That is another hunt I want to do someday.

Excellent video. The snow scenes reminded me that I was over at Fort Stockton getting ready for some folks from New York coming down to hunt javelina at thaty same time.

Here is the other video from this spring. Sadly this man's father on law passed away 30 min after they arrived at the ranch and they only had 1 day to hunt but he still ended up with a fair ram.

This looks really awesome. I'd love to do this in the next few years. How far is the typical shot?

I try and get everybody within 250 yrds. However there are senerios where 300-400 yrds is your only option. The farther you can shoot the better your chances of taking a monster are. The really big rams tend to stay moving and don't cut you much slack. In conclusion you should be prepared to shoot 400 yrds and know your ballistics and you'll Definantly be a step a head of the rest and you won't blow a stalk trying to get too close.

Are there certain areas in Texas that produce the better genetics for better trophies or are they all about the same? I am asking about free range animals as well.

We only hunt free range sheep but generally they're genetically all the same region to region one of our ranches does feed protien year round so they grow a little faster but our other ones all border Big Bend National Park so we have those old monsters coming out of the park traveling west via the Chinati mountains and coming out of old Mexico as well. Just don't waste your time in a high fence generally their much smaller and some ranches have some big pen raised ones but free range mountain hunts are the only way to go in my book. HF doesn't do the animal justice they forget they're aoudad.

I just asked becasue I just got a quote form Outback outfitters and they charge $4750 for a 4 day hunt. I was very surprised that they are so high. I thought is was maybe because they could back it up with the best area but if most areas are fairly equal i don't know why they are over a $1000 more than most guys i have looked at for prices. They seem to kill some good ones though will hand it to them.

Well I can tell you the guys that charge 6800 hunt the pasture next to me on my nieghbors and have even outsourced hunts to me when I was employed by the ranch I hunt now.They just have been around longer and come up on google quicker the Big 2 guys ( hunter Ross and Bubba Glosson) also have more ranches to hunt however your still only hunting one ranch when you hunt with them. It's apples to apples exactly the same hunt. The sheep have to go through my mountains before they can reach those pastures. In the end if you have good steep mountains and good terrain the only thing that sets a good hunt from a bad hunt is your guide and the hunting pressure. The sheep ate very sensitive to pressure.
