West Texas Aoudad Hunt Hunt Overview The outfitter offers a fully guided, free-range aoudad hunt in the rugged and remote caprock country of West Texas. Also known as Barbary sheep , aoudad originated in North Africa and have thrived in this harsh environment since their introduction in the late 1940s. With a population exceeding 25,000 animals statewide, this region provides exceptional opportunity. The outfitter’s private ranch sits in a high-density area, offering hunters consistent encounters with mature rams in true Western-style terrain. This is a classic spot-and-stalk hunt, requiring physical effort, patience, and time behind the glass. Hunts are carefully managed and limited each year to ensure quality experiences and strong trophy potential.
