Exotic Bow Hunt

I have an exotic bow hunt coming up the weekend of February 10, 2012. It is a low fence ranch owned by a friend and he said the aoudad are taking over, so needs some help thinning them out. I'd like to get one with a bow, so wish me luck.

He said there may be a chance at Axis, Sika, and Blackbuck.

I'm already staying awake at night thinking of the hunt! Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to post.

Yeah.........Buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like plenty of game to choose from, You should do well !!!!

I know all the deer types that you named are pretty good table fare.

But I am not sure about the sheep, Can you eat Aoudad???????

I hear the aoudad are tough. I'm searching for a anatomical chart of the aoudad for shot placement. I hear you have to aim more forward for their vitals - especially with a bow.

Found this on Texasbowhunter ... http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59995

Man i`m Jealous...Good luck to ya JR!

Thanks, RD. I've seen a lot of posts about where to hit them, but no pictures.

From the sound of some of those guys, I'll need a .50 cal. We'll see!

Hunting update:

Weedend ended with no arrows flying. My buddy, who was rifle hunting saw Aoudad and Axis every morning and evening. I did see a nice 160+ Whitetail that gave me a perfect shot, but IT'S NOT WHITETAIL SEASON! Just my luck.

Also, saw a BUNCH of pigs, but none in bow range except the one that come from behind my pop-up blind (the side with the windows closed) and ran into it ca...using it to collapse on me. Both of us ran off squealing. I don't know who got more scared, me or the big boar.

Anyway, I had lots of fun enjoying God's wonderful creation with a great brother in Christ.

Woke up this morning in camp with snow falling like crazy.

Man!.... where is this place that looks awesome!!....Slow drip moisture back in the ground...Gotta make room for the piggies when ya sit on the ground JR...Hahaha!!

Sounds and looks like you had a great time buddy...better luck next time on pullin the trigger!!...

The place is near Camp Wood, Leaky, Barksdale. We actually passed the Tompson Temple Ranch where BMarshall goes on his ram hunts. It's about 15 miles from there.

They have 500 acres for sale now at $600/acre, which is a good price, but still way to expensive for my budget.

oh ok, been there!....use to have a 4000ac lease just south of there.....love the snow pics...Thanks!!

Wow JR, Those are some cool pics, too bad you didnt get to let one fly!!!

Thats funny the hog runnin into your blind!!!!

If it happened to me the hunt would probably over right then!!!!!

From the strong aroma of (soiled britches)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drew on a hog the first day, but got busted because I wasn't in a blind - just sitting in brush.

You're right, Cull....Luckily I had time to go back to the cabing to change shorts.

I kind of thought the hills in the background looked familiar.. that whole region looks like that. Sounds like you had fun !!

I won't be going to Thompson's place this year. Neck issues have gotten worse and most likely will be needing surgery, if it can be fixed.

Should get my painted Desert ram back within a month or two..

Never say never B man!... we be prayin for ya bro!
