Hunting Aoudad proofed to be some of the hardest hunts I've done in my life. They love mountains.

Agree, 100%. Have hunted Aoudad only in Texas and they are a challenge. Texans call the terrain "mountains" although it's not but the physical challenge is not vestly less. Aoudad are super switched on and busted stalks are very typical. Hunting them is a big test of patience, persistence and tactics.

That same bug has bitten me @Jaco Goosen

They are super cool we didn’t get to soak it in much we spotted some in morning and snuck around big plateau while we was waiting on them to get up another group showed up around another plateau my buddy took good ram then I hustled over anf located other ram leaving out up mt and he stopped to look back and I got him so we was done quick, we was far sw tx in big bend Marfa area, supposed to go back but keep having to push back
