Kilimanjaro Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Nice sheep!! Tell your brother congrats! I've seen Aoudads in NM before while we were lion hunting. If you ever go into the Geronimo Falls area ( west of Carlsbad), there is a burger/ beer joint there with a photo wall of game taken in the area. It has some great sheep pics from the area. There is a pic on the wall in there of a guy holding a 37 inch pickup that he found. Now that is a BRUISER!! I also saw a herd up in the Northeast corner of the state one time in the Canadian river breaks area. Where did your brother get his? Here is a pic of my first Aoudad. It was taken in the Palo Duro Canyon area in TX back in 1999.. Totally free ranging.. Took me 5 trips up there to finally connect with a big ram. This one is 30". I've since beat him with one other ram, but he is still one of my favorite trophys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted February 14, 2006 His was 20 something inches. I can not remember the actual length. I am thinking it was around the roswell area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted February 14, 2006 They measure the length of the horn. That one is a great Ram Scotty Boy. He is not far from the record at that length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowhunter4life Report post Posted February 15, 2006 those are cool.are those over the conter permits in new mexico or a draw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter4life Report post Posted February 15, 2006 Congratulations to your brother AZGuide and to scottyboy and vini as well. Aoudads are a really neat animal and are a blast to hunt. I have taken 3 personally in NM, but nothing big. This year the aoudad have really been getting hammered hard on the private ranches, and I hope it doesn't hurt their population for the next few years. bowhunter4life, the permits are over the counter and the season runs for the month of february in the units that actually have a huntable population of aoudad. There is a year-round season for the rest of the state but there are hardly any animals to be found outside of the units that are only open in february.
