Aoudad Ewe & Slickhead Down...

[Kamoman]

I was hunting out west of Uvalde this past weekend. On Thursday evening, I watched several marginal bucks all evening but no shooters for me. I had thrown some hand corn about 25yds out away from my stand. I caught movement and looked to see three aoudad coming in. The ram wasn't as big as the one that I already have so I decided to assist the ranch owner in controlling the herd . This ewe stopped at the corn, turned and ended up with a muzzy-tipped ACC through her lungs. It was a short recovery of only 35 yds .

I hunted the rest of the weekend looking for a good, trophy buck but never saw one. This ranch is big and low fenced so there are no guarantees. I decided to take a doe Sat evening so this big girl came in alone and finally gave me a 20 yard quartering away shot. Man, the arrow from Heli-M blew through her so quick...I thought I had missed her...only to find my arrow stuck through a cactus bush about 15 yards behind where I shot her. I watched her jump up, spewing blood and run off a short distance before falling over. Although the "trophies" have been alluding me, It's been a fun season so far and I'm filling the freezer too.

Good Hunting to you all!

That's a trophy ewe, man. I'd consider a shoulder mount on her, actually. Definitely skull mount. Congrats!

WT doe is a big ol' gal too.

Thanks Shane...Well I guess I should show ya a pic of the Ram that I let walk (LOL). Although I've got one just about the size of him...I was kinda second guessing my decision as i drove home Sunday . Here he is...as well as a decent younger buck that I had to let walk too .

Yeah, rams are bigger. But for a ewe, that one is has big horns (21-22", I'm guessing) and pretty good chaps.

As for passing that ram..... I'm 2nd guessing you right now. That's a good one. Looks 32" or so to me with great mass.

Awesome!!

Congrats on both!

It definitely would be tough to hold off shooting that ram!!

[Kamoman]

Yeah Shane...we estimated him at around 31" but he was heavy. Man, I'm saving my wall space at home for something like what you have in your avatar pic!
