GENERAL INFORMATION
Latin Name: Ammotragus lervia
Other Names: Aoudad
Distribution: Originally introduced from Africa. Aoudad or Barbary sheep can be hunted in the USA in Texas and possible a couple of other states. This is great for hunters as they are threatened in their native habitat and the opportunities for hunting them in Africa are very limited. Aoudad hunted on large ranches offer a very challenging hunt.

THE HUNT
Hunting Method: Spot and Stalk.
The Shot: Be prepared for a longish shot. Although it is possible to also stalk up under 100 yards.
Calibers: 270 Winchester upwards.
Ammunition: A factory loaded Soft Nose will suffice. Sometimes premium bullets whistle through smaller game and a regular well constructed bullet will actually be more effective.
