I was looking at an outfitted hunt a few years ago. The outfitter wanted nothing smaller than 7mm mag with 30 mag being better.

They all say that as their average clientele can't hike or shoot.

I mean hell, guides here recommend a 7mm of some sort to shoot a 90 pound deer....

Aoudad and pig guns are about like the perception of elk and bear guns, for some reason the further the hunter travels the larger the caliber required.

They must be getting easier to kill, used to be Lazz warbirds, outdoorsman 30-378s and Miller/Echols 300 weathebys.

This is about the best one I’ve killed, still ain’t all that as Aoudads go.

I have used the 243 to a 375 but for a hunt in rough country I would go bigger. A guide friend says 270 Win. or larger, this for me would also include the 6.5s as well or even a 25-06. The 6mm's will be for hill country hunts usually at a feeder out of a box blind. Any bullet that works for deer will do but I would tend to go for a tougher bullet you could put through both shoulders if needed.

Post up about your hunt please.

When it comes to Aoudad hunters are talking a lot like Elk Hunters, everyone knows Elk are bullet proof, a least if you manage to kill a Elk, they are usually good eating, Aoudad Not so much, most dogs won't eat a Aoudad. Rio7

So what are you considering trophy size? Curious


I don’t know how you measure an aoudad, curious what this one would have measured, just for curiosity’s sake. The Dad I killed with a bow weighed 200 lbs, this one was bigger.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I don’t know what a Trophy aoudad looks like and not likely to hunt the stinking things. But I guaronfuggintee you they ain’t tougher than a .300 Weatherby loaded with a TTSX. Oil light on instantly....

I kill them with a bow, so I think a 300 Weatherby would do the job. I have a couple, but haven’t had a Dad come out while was hunting with one. Shot one with a 300 Win mag and a 165 TTSX. DRT

I don’t know much about them but I would be tickled to have that one on my wall. Hanco do you have any other pics of him?

I have heard repeatedly the young ewes are good. My only experience was with old rams.We cooked up a fresh backstrap from one I killed and it tasted OK, but was chewy as hell. Ive had a couple varieties of sausage made out of them and it was good.
