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.
