Posted By: Kilimanjaro DIY west TX aoudad hunt - 11/14/13
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.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

So, how is access to that ranch - or others in the area - obtained? Fee? Open access for sheep?

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

Ditto. Would love to go back to the homeland and chase aoudad in WT. Was this near Alpine?

Great film. What were your rifle set ups?

Neat video..Thanks for sharing.
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!

Great well earned trophies guys!

Agreed best hunting video I have seen. Better than most tv shows.

What video camera were you using?
Posted By: efw Re: DIY west TX aoudad hunt - 11/17/13

Wow I have been looking at doing this for a few years but your video cinched it. Beautiful country going to have to cancel my trip to Wyoming next year.
Great video! Congrats to all of you on some dandy rams.
Thanks fellas!

We have 2 DIY slots left available on this exact property for next season. If interested (and up to the challenge!) shoot me a PM and we'll get you lined out on some big aoudad rams!
Very nice congrats

Cool pics! I can't play the video on mu Ubuntu/Chromium set up. Chit! Looks like a great hunt.
Thanks guys.. All PMs returned and replied to!

Wow! That is a heck of a video. Must say, it is the best hunting video I have seen as well. Amazing terrain and rams.

Forgive the newbie question here but how much meat do you get out of those rams? I'm assuming you bone them out and pack the meat down?
Hi I am from Quebec Canada and would like more info on your 2 remaining spots for a hunt in 2014 .You have my email address

the email you have provided will not allow me to send the email. Do you have another that I could send it to? My Mac is saying that the email is not valid.

Friggen sweet! Congrats fellas.... If you're associated with Zac who did the archery ibex videos, then you are hard core!
I was there for both archery ibex hunts (and a lot more).

Zac and I hunt quite a bit together.
