Aoudad seem to occupy two polar opposite niches. The extreme rough, canyon country and the whitetail like lowlands.
I'm sure they're wary on those leases and can be as spooky as anything else, but I just don't think the hunt would be the same as those in New Mexico public land or west Texas.
Good on you all though for shooting them. Keep on keep'n on.
It is what it is.
I pay for a trespass lease to which I can spend time at any or even all of the 365 days a year. Every thing there is DIY. No guide, no trophy fee. I like that.
I may spend as much as 60 days a year "afield". I carry libation, a camera, a side-arm, an audiobook, cell phone and a rifle, when I go out..
I can snare,
trap,
shoot (even at night with night vision or thermal)
Or just enjoy the beauty of God's creation....
Taking a decent critter is just a bonus!
ya!
