These have GOT to go....

I agree it's a waste.

I'd pay to bring my 10 year old boy out and each of us kill one, as Im sure a dozen other dads here would do as well. Could be a good affordable hunt on one end, and a way to pay for some lease corn for the place on the other side of the coin (if you needed to try and sell the idea to the members)....

Dang shame to kill and let lay ANY animal...especially one that can be eaten or taken as a trophy.

Same here....would take wife and kiddo to kill one.


Hell, I just want the meat. Bring me the dead things so they don't go to waste or I'd come pick them up.

Grab your SA 12-ga, take the plug out, stuff it with buckshot, and go after 'em.

[tex4k]

Shoot after a little research, I'll buy'em and come trap them after the season, just let me know.

[Tradman1971]

Why do you want to kill them all?

[Brute Killer]

Trap and sell. I'm sure they are easier to catch than hogs.

[BTLowry]

I would build a trap, catch them all and then try and make a deal with Buff to trade them for credit against something I wanted off of his place

I do a lot of hunting in WI. I guess when you hunt in a place where there is ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that a Blackbuck, Aoudad, Hog or any other exotic will come in, you really appreciate a place where that can happen! (IMO) I see and kill some really nice whitetails, but nothing gets my heart pumping like when an Axis or Aoudad comes in while I'm at the ranch. Fortunately the majority of the ranch is a "Sanctuary" and we never step foot in that area, so the exotics are plentiful. There's a guy that traps Aoudads down the road and the sells them I guess. To each his own, but why don't a lot of people want exotics around? Why are whitetails the only thing a lot of people think about?

My thoughts as well...here is my view on things.


I live and hunt in Nevada now, but grew up in SW Texas hunting whitetail and exotic sheep.

I now hunt elk, bighorn, mule deer, bear, antelope, and exotic/aoudad sheep. Most of my hunting is spot and stalk, backpacking in/out or going really out of the way off the beaten path.

To me, whitetail are boring now and too limited. Why would I want to hunt small deer with small antlers sitting in a stand when there are more animals I can chase around the canyons/hills year round. In my opinion, bring on the exotics. WT are bland


When I buy my piece of Texas, it will be in an exotic rich area

I hunted a place that was MLD3 for 6-7 years as my fathers guest helping get their tag numbers. There were exotics all over the place but they were an added fee . The axis, sika, red deer, blackbuck and aoudad rams were cool but at the time I wouldn't make myself spend the extra $1000+ price tags. Now I wish I could have. Axis are held in pretty high regard here... I don't hear many people cuss them or blackbuck except Ragin'... but bucket shaker pasture rams like you see in the pic, not so much. Aoudad just tear crap up but Id kill a ram.. eewes for meat?... no thanks. That being said, even in that mix, whitetail were far from boring and their horns were not small[emoji23][emoji23].

But that's just my opinion. To each their own.

A lot of people, including myself, don't consider these farm goats "exotics".

[lovetohunt]

Are they good to eat?

They are

What is not exotic abut them? They are wild sheep living in a state where they are not considered game animals.
