Texas aoudad hunting in Palo Duro Canyon is one of the best-kept secrets in American hunting. This stunning area spans around 40,000 acres and is the second-largest canyon in the U.S., featuring rugged terrain and thick cover that provide excellent habitat for wildlife. Palo Duro is home to abundant aoudad sheep, feral hogs, and other predators, making it a top hunting destination in Texas.
Most aoudad hunts here are spot-and-stalk, with hunters moving around the ranch on UTVs until game is sighted. Once spotted, the hunt typically involves a short hike to get within range. Aoudads in the area are impressive, typically measuring 28 to 34 inches, with an average just over 30 inches—making this an experience every hunter should have on their bucket list.
Besides aoudad, hog and predator hunts add to the excitement. Unlike hogs in heavily pressured regions, the feral hogs in Palo Duro are more active during the day, providing ample opportunity for hunters. Plus, with no bag limits, each hunt is action-packed and rewarding.
