Hunt difficulty
Potentially demanding on foot. Broken terrain and animals blending into the hillside can make spotting and approaching them a challenge. The amount of climbing depends on the actual hunt.

Aoudad
Ammotragus lervia
Watch the hills. Learn the country.
Also called Barbary sheep, aoudad originate in the mountains and dry country of North Africa. Their sandy coloring, backward-curving horns, and long hair along the throat and forelegs give them a distinctive profile. They are social animals adapted to rugged, arid surroundings.
Ask about this species
Aoudad at Double Draw RanchTerrain
Dry, rocky hills, broken slopes, and canyons. Aoudad are well suited to rugged country, where their sandy coats can make them surprisingly difficult to pick out.
Feeding habits
Flexible feeders that eat grasses, shrubs, and other leafy plants. What they eat changes with rainfall and the forage available.
Table fare
3 / 5
Double Draw Ranch’s taste rating
More variable than a typical venison choice. A mature animal may call for slow cooking or ground preparations rather than a freezer full of steaks. Age, field care, and preparation make a substantial difference.
Hunting difficulty varies with the approach and conditions. Table fare depends on the animal, handling, and preparation.

The $750 base hunt fee per person covers three days of ranch access and hunting for hogs, coyotes, and foxes, which have no trophy fees. For species with a trophy fee, the applicable fee is added when you shoot at the animal—whether you miss, wound, or harvest it. We confirm the applicable fee before the hunt.
