This is the first time I have posted in over a year after having joined another more active forum TexasBowhunter.com, but you have forced me to have to debunk all and I do mean all of your statements.
1. Aoudad are exotics and not native to Texas, they are from North Africa and they do roam free range in West Texas, the Panhandle, and in New Mexico. There is even a state draw for Aoudad in Caprock and Palo Duro state parks for them, you going to claim the state parks are high fenced? You can even hunt them archery only down at Amistad National Recreation Area.
2. 98% of the Aoudad hunts in West Texas are free range and hard as hell, many compare it to hunting big horn, they are roaming the mountains on thousands of acres on huge low fence ranches I am talking on tens of thousands of acres. I have personally seen Aoudad free ranging in New Mexico, West Texas and the Texas Panhandle. You have obviously never been to West Texas or you would not have came up with your ignorant statements about hunting ranches in West Texas. Now I will admit that there are high fence 200 acre ranches in that let you go shoot the pet Aoudad in other parts of the state mostly the Hill Country but trust me in West Texas it doesn't work that way. Heck just look at the back ground of that picture nothing but wide open spaces behind him.
3. Does it really matter if I shoot a deer 6 miles from the closet perimeter fence on a 50000 acre highfence ranch? That deer has more than likely seen less people than your average low fence deer? And your great state of Colorado is not better there are more than a few highfence ranches up there also.
4. Until you come down here and experience a free range Aoudad hunt in the mountains do not make ignorant comments on it being easy or canned. I do not go on an elk thread with a monster elk shot in Colorado and start throwing out high fence remarks in ignorance.
5. You should do some research on the free range Ibex and Oryx hunts they host in New Mexico and the Oryx that run free range on the Texas side of the White Sands missile range. Also look into the number or Axis and Sika deer that are running around free range in our great state.
