For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

all good options.
i only have one of the four so far, so i would probably say Aoudad. i passed up a good fallow sunday morning because he was only 3 or 4 and i wanted him to be older.


Stuff my dad said in the deer blind

"I can dive deeper and come up drier"
"did you do that?"

Based on meat quality alone, I'd bring another one of these home. Best wild meat in the universe, in my book. I'm picking up the mount next week.



But I still have a little meat from this one, and just picked up the mount... very cool, with hardened valvet scraped back from tine tips:





So... my next vote would probably be for a nice a nice fallow, but I'll probably end up targeting either nilgai or aoudad for pending stories, as we chatted about earlier today.

Go get yourself that axis. Here's the pose I chose for the last one:

Axis. It's just.......axis is axis. Blackbuck and fallow are next but axis is axis. Aoudad I don't have a knack for. Axis, then big palmated fallow or long, wide, mature/black BB, and then aoudad

Aoudad in west Texas. Free Range. Love sheep hunting. Have everything but an Axis...and I really want one...but I love the mountain hunting and the physical aspect of it. Not into sitting on stand....someday I need to do it though.
