I've only shot one aoudad. That was on my first hunt with my .300 Weatherby. My guide kept telling me how hard aoudads were to kill, and told me to anchor him by shooting him through his hips. I put a 168 grain Barnes TSX bullet through his shoulders and he simply dropped dead where he was standing.
My guide then said "You don't listen to your guide, do you?" I just smiled and answered "No."
I’m not a guide, but I would never recommend a hip shot. Seems like unnecessary suffering for the animal. I always make shoulder or heart shots when possible.
