Texas aoudad hunting is special for a bunch of different reasons. They offer a chance for the average hunter to go on a true mountain sheep hunt at a fraction of the cost and OTC tags. The experience is just like a much more expensive sheep hunt. You’ll be spending long periods glassing, and it’s incredibly difficult to spot aoudad that blend in so amazingly well with their surroundings. Patience is a virtue as you and your guides 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.

Best Time for Free Range Aoudad Hunting

Texas aoudad hunting is available year-round, but late fall, winter, and early spring are often the best seasons for hunting. The cooler temperatures make hiking more comfortable, and aoudad are usually more active during these months. Summer hunts are possible as well but can be quite challenging due to the intense Texas heat.

Texas aoudad hunts can be one of the most challenging/rewarding/affordable mountain hunts out there.

Aoudad tags are over-the-counter in Texas.
Texas aoudad hunting is quite possibly the best value in the sheep hunting world.
Hunting season is year-round, but it’s best to hunt sometime between December and March.
Our hunters have high success rates on trophy rams.
Aoudad hunts in West Texas are almost all free range, fair chase.
While archery hunting is possible, and an experienced bowhunter can get within bow range, bowhunting for aoudad is tough. Experienced archery hunters; you know the deal, this is a sheep hunt; rifles are recommended but if you insist…be prepared to be patient and be very confident and proficient at 60+ yards.

The outfitter is a hard working guy. He truly loves hunting! He will do whatever he can to get you an animal. He answered all of my questions and kept giving me information during the hunt. It was a quick hunt, but I couldn’t pass up the first ram that we saw. A big thank you for everything! I would hunt with this outfitter again for sure.

I was amazed at the number of big aoudad rams we saw in just two days of hunting. I took my sheep out of a group of 150 Rams! Come to find out after hunting here they have not had a hunt go past 3 days since operating and guiding on this Ranch for the past 8 years. Not only that, they are carrying a pretty solid 30-32″ trophy average with the occasional 33″ Ram taken! We went 3/3 in two days. I took a heavy horned old ram on the first day on my longest shot to date.

Wade Zuver

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

Jesse Neveau

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
