Barbary Sheep, or Aoudad, are one of the best animals to hunt if you are trying to get into sheep hunting. Due to their perseverance and ability to survive, these animals have thrived and provide many opportunities for people to hunt them. New Mexico is a state that has a large amount of land to provide hunters with both draw opportunities and over-the-counter opportunities.
Gaven had never hunted sheep before, and he was looking forward to this hunt over many others. Hunting Barbary Sheep can be tough; the area they survive in is comparable to any other sheep across the world. With this hunt being one of the last adventures in our second year, Gaven knew there were going to be times where he would have to hunt alone. However, Nick has provided many good areas for him to check and be prepared to harvest his first sheep.
On the opening morning of the hunt, Gaven traveled to eastern New Mexico alone to begin his hunt. Nick and Cody would be getting there that night, but he wanted to take advantage of the first day. On the drive in, he saw his first group of sheep and was thrilled. After eating tag soup on a deer hunt a couple days ago, he was itching to pull the trigger.
After traveling to the top of the mountain range, Gaven was able to glass down a solo sheep and he began working for a shot. Overtime, he came to realize that the only possible stalk was not going to work. Gaven decided to pick up and move but he ran into a large group of hunters, so he moved back to relocate the sheep.
After setting the glass down and relocating the sheep, Gaven moved in for a shot and harvested his first Barbary Sheep by himself. Once he walked up on his harvest, he realized it was a good sized ewe. However, her horns were scarred and she appeared to be an old sheep. It was definitely a unique harvest for a first sheep. Nick and Cody met Gaven back at camp, and they packed out the sheep the following morning.
This has been the shortest hunt for us by far, but it was also a great adventure. Hunting solo is something we have to do sometimes, even if we have great hunting partners. Barbary Sheep are a very interesting species, and they are even more fun to hunt!
