Aoudad shot placement

[150class]

I don’t know if it’s just dumb luck or what, but we are seeing more aoudad activity every year. We are just north of Uvalde and getting to where it is not uncommon to see aoudad. It’s still not unbelievable consistent but maybe one in 10 hunts we are seeing them.
All that said, maybe somewhere around the west to southwest edge of the hill country is a good place to start.

Just give it a little while longer and you'll be covered in them lol

If you want the real deal, go out to the Davis Mtns. We went with Desert Safaris and they were fantastic.

Just got an email back from them:

OP, right in the shoulder on shot placement.
Good luck and post some LDPs.

Oscar, HighWest will do a few bow hunts, but extremely difficult in mountain country.
If you want contact number, shoot me a pm.

Can’t compare hunting aoudad on huge property out west and sitting in a blind over a feeder IMO.

I heard it all now!

Please don't take offense - But you're not experiencing "dumb luck" you're experiencing the early stages of a curse.

Just wait until you start seeing less of everything else.

Aoudad are just pigs but a lot more destructive.

I had a great time hunting with Ross and Cody with Great American Hunting Services. They have a nice place in the Davis Mountains with a couple archery setups.

I will check them out sir!

Broadside, straight up the leg, 1/3 of the way up the body.
DON'T shoot behind the shoulder.

I always tell my hunters to shoot them right in the shoulder. They are very tough and it helps to take out a couple wheels. They usually drop, or don’t make it very far. All of the African animals are the same.

Man shoot them like everything else, with a hard hitting bullet right threw the front shoulders break them completely down 100%
Not much running off with broken shoulders and no lungs
Kiss on shooting tough game and even deer too

That’s the correct placements!

Headed down south for a free range rifle aoudad hunt. Ideal shot placement location?

I shoot behind the shoulder with a bow and in the neck with a rifle. If you are looking for a shoulder mount, shoot behind the shoulder with your rifle.

If the person mounting can’t fix a bullet hole in the shoulders they aren’t much of a taxidermist!

Shoot back behind the shoulder I shot this guy then got a seconds chance at him about 6 months later. This is the closest diagram your going to get. I dug out my broad head that was lodged just in front of his lungs
