Who's ready for a story.......

[EYJONAS!]

Alright kids.... who's ready for a little adventure.... not some political shit, whining and crying crap like I've been seeing on here on the daily. A real hunting adventure.... a West Texas Aoudad experience, two years in the making and it's come to a close. It's got some highs and some lows. Everything one could've hoped for in a hopefully not, once in a lifetime adventure.

 

[BAKPAKR]

I am ready!

 

[Dave N]

@EYJONAS!, you and @Stone_Ice_1 need to alternate your updates so us mere mortals can read continuously

I planned this hunt over the last 3 or 4 years. On the fence of going and actually paying for a hunt was something entirely new to me. I'd have multiple half ass commitments and finally one day came and I told myself if I was ever going to get out and do something I'd have to do it now. So, two years ago I put my deposit down lined up a Aoudad Adventure and was lucky enough to have a great buddy commit to the hunt. We've always talked about hunting over the years together with nothing ever transpiring. So we ended up breaking the hunting experience ice in a state where neither of us had been outside of a major city and on a species neither of us had ever seen in person. What transpired is something I can only describe as an epic experience.

We had agreed on some major things we both wanted committing to something like this.

A real sheep hunt, full of unknowns, not guided and not a canned adventure. After talking this over in great lengths with the outfitter, which I'm extremely greatfull for his patience and feedback. I'm sure he's sick of me by now.

Your up early travel day?

 

[EYJONAS!]

The whole experience of traveling on a airline to hunt is new to us and we have definitely learned some things along the way with fire arms and oversized luggage. So far I've been called back to the front 3 times too go through my bags with them or move something from one to another. I'm not sure if this is normal but it's the normal to me at this point.

I can't wait to see what they say about our dry ice and 6 packages of meat and capes that look like. 20 keys of Columbian bam bam.

So... travel day comes. We leave Montana on Monday. A 5am flight comes early but with high anticipations we head out. We arrived in El Paso around 12pm and gather our items. Rent a pickup from Hertz and we're off to Van Horn.

This is where we might our "guide" Diego, he was to meet us at the gas station at 4pm and take us to camp. Which turned out to be quite the adventure to get there by dark so we could check our rifles.

Flat tires, wrong sized spares and locked gates proved to be a major pain in the ass but we forged through. Made it by dark and was able to even check the rifles with a little assistance from some extra light bars and spot lights.

Gotta love it when a goat show turns into a sheep hunt

Occasionally I have called situations " a real goat screw"...never really thought about the origin.
