I had the opportunity to hunt with Mulie Mike and his guys from West Texas Hunt Organization just east of El Paso, Texas. The ranch was located in the mountain range just outside of Horizon City. The terrain was steep mountain sides and cliff areas. We spent the mornings to mid afternoon hiking, climbing and glassing for the elusive Aoudad. The later afternoon hunts were going back into the canyons on a six seat Ranger with a high rack back seat. Lonnie (one of the guides) took this Ranger were I thought no ranger could go! On the third morning we were able to spot and stalk a group of Aoudad (several hours). My shot was taken from an overhanging cliff (first picture) at 200 yards down the mountain side. It was a clean one shot kill. I was shooting a Remington 5R Mil-spec with a 168 grain Federal Premium Match King BTHP. The scope I was using was a Nikon 4.5 x 14 BDC. I want to give my many thanks to Mike, Lonnie and Steve for going above and beyond in their efforts to find me an Aoudad. I highly recommend these guys for Aoudad, Mule Deer and Elk. Truly the most challenging hunt I have been on.

Interesting you killed it with a "match" grade paper punching bullet on one of the tougher animals

Brother in law:

This is a picture of the exit wound with the "match" grade paper punching bullet. I know there are some skeptics with using this bullet but I have had 100% success rate on several bucks and this Aoudad. In all cases the animal dropped in its tracks. The bullet has always fragemented well allowing me to take animals humanely.
