    Sheep hunting in South Africa?

    Our taxidermist hates when we post pics of partially finished mounts but just had to share this one. We had the good fortune to hunt free-range Barbary sheep in the Stormburg Mountains in 2016 and while I remember being impressed by these sheep...I didn't remember them being this impressive! I can't wait to get him home!

    Curtis always does an amazing job hey. So a Barbary sheep is the same thing as an Audad or are they different...

    Barbary Sheep is the proper name. They originated in Northern Africa and not sure how they came to be called aoudad in North America. Interestingly, though, they aren't sheep at all but rather closer to the goat family. Need to find some wall space for this most recent bunch from Curtis! Eight animals is a pile to get at once...haha

    I have heard their a bit of a challenge to Hunt in Texas and areas such as that , What would you rate this as a challenging hunt.
    I can't imagine how full your home must be with all your critters. I bought an acreage with a Shop to put al my gear and mounts in, so i have lots of room left for more lol.You have 2 hunters in your home so double the amount coming in.
