"It is NMDGF policy to eliminate aoudads that occur in bighorn sheep habitat." This comes directly from the official state NM desert bighorn recovery program. pg. 40

Yet, if that is our goal, why would you have a draw for aoudad hunting with very high prices attached to the tags??? An aoudad tag should cost $20-30 dollars over the counter at walmart, if your honest goal is to eliminate them from New Mexico desert bighorn sheep range.
