About Our Aoudad Hunts in Texas

Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary & Terrain

West Texas has emerged as one of the premier destinations in North America for free-range Aoudad sheep, thanks to expansive ranches in the Davis, Chinati and Glass Mountains that support healthy, well-managed herds. These hard-fighting desert sheep roam steep rocky canyons, rugged limestone bluffs and brush-scattered plateaus, often at elevations between 3,000 and 6,000 feet. While some operations maintain high-fenced management blocks with feeding stations to supplement native browse, others pursue true fair-chase free-range hunts over tens of thousands of acres. Comfortable modern lodges or field cabins—with amenities such as climate-controlled rooms, indoor fireplaces and satellite communications—serve as bases before venturing into the harsh beauty of West Texas terrain.

Difficulty & Strategy

Aoudad sheep are wary, keen-sighted animals adapted to precipitous country, so hunters should be prepared for moderately strenuous, spot-and-stalk pursuits. Most guided hunts employ glassing from overlooks or permanent blinds to locate rams, followed by careful approaches over uneven rock and brush. Long-range rifle skills are essential—shots beyond 200 yards are common—and wind, glare and undulating ground can all affect accuracy. While rifle is the standard method, some outfitters may offer ground-blind or safari-style setups. Success hinges on patience, fieldcraft and the ability to adapt tactics as rams shift feeding patterns or bedding areas with the season.

Amenities

Aoudad hunts in Texas typically include full‐service lodge accommodations situated on or near the hunting ranch. Lodges feature private rooms with standard beds, ensuring a comfortable resting environment after the day’s activities. All accommodations are equipped with modern climate‐control systems to provide reliable heating in cooler periods and air conditioning during the Texas heat.

Season & Additional Info

Aoudad hunts in Texas are available year-round, though many hunters elect to hunt in cooler months (late fall through early spring) when sheep are more active at lower elevations. Packages typically include one-on-one guiding, lodging, meals, range access, field dressing and caping of trophies. Hunters should come equipped for temperature swings, rugged hiking and long-range shooting. After the hunt, experienced staff handle trophy preparation and can coordinate meat processing or horn shipping. For those looking to extend their adventure, multi-species options are often available, pairing Aoudad with exotic game or native species over consecutive days.

Pricing

Aoudad hunts in Texas run at an average cost of about $6,000, with most packages structured as multi-day, full-service experiences. Lodging in private rooms at climate-controlled ranch lodges is standard, and daily guided outings—often with 1:1 or small-group guide ratios—cover a mix of rugged hill country and brush-covered flats. Lower-cost options typically feature shorter hunts or slightly higher hunter-to-guide ratios, while mid-range packages usually include all meals, field dressing of trophies, and transport of horns to a processor. Premium hunts may offer extended trip lengths, exclusive access to high-density aoudad areas, and upgraded trophy prep and shipping services. Additional expenses such as hunting licenses, tag fees, gratuities, and optional extras (like meat processing) should be budgeted separately.
