Wife & I are considering a big hunt trip. We are thinking of Aoudad , probably in Texas. Has anyone done a Texas hunt for them ? What part of Tx did you hunt? Did you use an outfitter ? What kind of range was your shot? Currently my big bore hunting guns are 6.5x55 , .308 , or .260 Remington. would those work, or should I consider a longer range caliber ?

My old boss and good friend lives in Texas and I’m pretty sure he knows his way around hunting in Texas. I’ll ask him for recommendations for your . |

A friend of mine went there and did a DIY a few years ago. Both him and his buddy got zip. They are going this year, but they found a rancher that owns the property that also guides. They said it's a LOT cheaper than a regular guided hunt.
Me? I'd rather go to New Mexico and hunt Oryx by White Sands Missle Base. Supposedly a once in a lifetime hunt for a male Oryx.

HOw did he find the rancher? I have absolutely no idea. Do you want to see if I can get the ranchers contact information? He's currently in South Texas hunting javelina but he will be home Sunday. He lives in Arkansas |

I got a reply from my old boss. He texted-
Ruben Ortega in Marathon

I have Mule Deer hunted with him many times
He has lots of Aoudads too

I'm wanting to do the oryx hunt also. Neat animals and I've heard the meat is outstanding. |
