Free-Range Aoudad Sheep in West Texas
Donor: Greg Simons, Wildlife Systems, Inc.
Indigenous to the Atlas Mountains and Barbary Coast of Northern Africa, aoudad sheep, commonly referred to as Barbary sheep, were introduced into the Northern Panhandle and Trans-Pecos regions of Texas in the late 1950's in an effort to establish a new big game hunting opportunity. Aoudad sheep are well adapted as both a browser and grazer to the arid and remote regions of the state. They have since flourished from a few dozen animals during release period to well over 25,000 free ranging animals in Western Texas alone.
Wildlife Systems, Inc. has generously donated this hunt for one hunter for free-ranging aoudad sheep to take place in the big, unspoiled country of West Texas, also referred to as the Trans-Pecos Region. This is a 3½ day, 4-night program and includes meals, lodging, guide (1x1), and game care. Average rams that have been taken by WSI clients in recent years sport horns that are 30" - 33" in length, but larger rams are taken every year.
On a scale of 1 -10, the physical difficulty of this hunt normally ranges from a 6 - 8 but can be highly variable and it's recommended that the hunter be at least modestly in condition and capable of comfortably walking across rocky, broken terrain that often requires some climbing.
Non-resident hunting licenses can be purchased online or over the counter and are only $48. WSI is an award-winning outfitting and wildlife management firm that's been in business since 1987 and still co-owned and operated by its founder, wildlife biologist and conservation-activist, Greg Simons. Hunt must be taken some time between February 1, 2023, and November 1, 2023.
