3.5 day, 4.5 night hunts located on two ranches located in the Davis (120k acres) and the Chinati Mountains (22k acres) of Texas. Hunts start at 1pm on the first day. These ranches only harvest old, mature trophy auodad and our outfitter has personally been on over 200 auodad hunts and is an expert field judge of trophy auodad. As he says, "I will be more picky on your auodad then you ever will " Trophy auodads share four factors...age, body size, horn length/mass, and length of chaps. He does both rifle and bow hunts with the recommended rifle calibers being 7mm and 30 caliber magnums with heavy for caliber bullets as clients have taken auodad up to 400lbs with the average being between 325 to 350lbs.
Fall hunts start middle of September and the rut is October to mid November. Spring hunts are February through May when the rams are in bachelor groups.
For either hunt you can fly into either El Paso or Midland Texas and rent a car.
