Free Range, West Texas and New Mexico Aoudad Hunts

If you’ve considered hunting aoudad, the time is NOW! The cost will only continue to go up.

Texas Aoudad Hunts

A Texas aoudad hunt is special. They offer a chance for the average hunter to go on a true mountain sheep hunt at a fraction of the cost. Patience is a virtue, as long periods of glassing is required to spot sheep that blend in amazingly well with their surroundings. Guides will spend as much time as necessary locating a mature ram. Once a good ram is spotted, it requires a successful, well planned stalk to get within shooting range. Texas aoudad hunts are one of the most challenging hunts out there.

New Mexico Aoudad Hunts 

New Mexico offers some of the finest aoudad hunting opportunities in the United States, with great populations of this hardy and elusive species. Known for its rugged mountain ranges and diverse desert terrain, New Mexico provides a challenge for hunters seeking a free-range aoudad hunting experience. For big game hunters looking to add an impressive sheep species to their list without needing a tag, New Mexico aoudad hunting is an ideal choice.

In New Mexico, these sheep are primarily found in the southeastern part of the state, particularly in the Sacramento and Guadalupe mountains, as well as in several areas with similar habitats. Aoudad are incredibly adaptable animals, with a population that continues to grow, providing hunters with excellent opportunities for free-range hunting.
