Well after several years trying to get a free range Aoudad, I finally did it!!!!! Solo at that!!!!! Out in the beautiful rugged country in Val verde county Texas!!!! He was about 250 yards out on the tip of a cliff and when I shot him he fell down to the bottom of the canyon 200 yards!!!! Talk about pulling out every ounce of strength and inner courage I had to get him cut up and get him back out and back to the top!!!!

WOW! Congrats on the hunt, and thanks for sharing!
 
Congrats @Carrie !

From your short description, I am most impressed, for a lady investing such skill and efforts!
Fantastic!
 
Well done Carrie!
 
@mark-hunter thank you!!! I could have typed out the whole description of my hunt but I try not to type that much!!! And I’d hate to share I got excited and left my pack at top and only took down my rifle that only had one more bullet in it, and had to finish him off by holding his head down with a stick and stabbing him in his side!!!! But that’s a lot more typing!!! Lol
 
Hi @Carrie
In your first post excitement and passsion is sticking out beween the lines. I got it, immidiately.
I am happy for you! Neither am I too much in detailed hunting reporting, have posted only one so far on this forum.
Congrats again!
 
That´s a nice one Carrie, congrats !
 
Nice job. Those are fun hunts in that country for Aoudad. Makes me need to do another one soon.
 
Well Done! When you came along on my hunt and even spotted mine I had no idea you hadn't taken your own yet! Great job and congrats! Do you have a taxidermist picked out yet? :rolleyes:
 
Outstanding. And what an adventure to go with that great ram. Doubt there are many of us here who could mount a solo expedition to do what you did. Just a tremendous achievement. Good on you!
 
Now that's hunting! Congratulations.
 
Great Job! Great Trophy!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
