Aoudad Sheep Hunting Texas
Aoudad sheep are a wildly fun animal to hunt due to their rugged physicality, hardiness, and tenacity. As some of the most unique and wily game at Cotton Mesa, they offer a challenging hunt that’s worth the effort! Aoudad sheep, also known as Barbary sheep, originate from North Africa, and are actually not a pure sheep but rather feature a mix of sheep and goat. While both the males and females grow horns, male aoudads have much larger horns and feature a long beard on their chest. Males here can grow larger than 30” giving you plenty of opportunities to bag a large trophy aoudad ram.

Cotton Mesa offers some of the best aoudad hunting in the United States and with our large aoudad sheep population you’ll have ample opportunity to get that trophy ram in your sights. As one of the most affordable summer hunting trips in Texas, Aoudad sheep hunting is second to none! Hunting regulations for Aoudad sheep fall under the exotic animal guidelines, meaning they are available to hunt all year, providing a fun summer hunting trip! Aoudad sheep are an exceptionally challenging quarry due to their hardiness and wariness. Hunting them will test your skills and provide a true sense of accomplishment. As with most sheep and goats, Aoudads are most comfortable in mountainous and rocky landscapes, so be prepared to move quickly and adeptly in this terrain. To simplify the hunt just a tiny bit (don’t worry, we leave plenty of challenge) we’ll most often hunt from stands in areas where our Aoudads frequent. For a thrilling and exhilarating Aoudad hunt, we always have ATVs standing by, ready for the chase.
