Just recently back from our DIY aoudad hunt out in far west TX. Felt good to be back in home turf territory and chasing sheep. The ranch we hunted has no roads, no amenities, and certainly no high fences. It's all on foot and on your back. Camp was the back of my Toyota and the sandy wash at the base of the mtns. We went 3 for 3 and we all able to take some great rams home. A bit of the terrain. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/scottkendrix/2013-11-08123059_zpsaf1f9c82.jpg) Zac's ram: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/scottkendrix/2013-11-13224408_zps50a8a584.png) Jeremy's ram: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/scottkendrix/2013-11-09104341_zps4534a482.jpg) And my ram: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/scottkendrix/20131109_150936_zps738e46d8.jpg) Lastly, here is a link to the video of our hunt. I hope you guys enjoy it. http://vimeo.com/m/79352886

So, how is access to that ranch - or others in the area - obtained? Fee? Open access for sheep?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Well done! I'd love to do that one of these winters. About the only "sheep" hunt I can afford...

Great film. What were your rifle set ups?
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I cant speak for the other guys (although I know Zac was using a 300 rum)
But Kilimanjaro was using his sweetheart of a 300 wsm loaded (by yours truly) with 180 TTSX.
Looks like one heck of a hunt Scotty, you guys sure killed some slobs!
