Making up for lost time.......
« on: October 02, 2013, 12:03:00 AM »
Havent been able to do much hunting due to many things going on in my life ( not all bad things )
I did get to go out last week and killed my first Aoudad sheep , not only one but I got two the same morning. Both were taken in the rocky cliffs just outside Kerrville Tx on my friends ranch. All free range hunting , I have been after these things going on 3 years now. They were in the rut and he was pushing the yew all over and thats what got them both shot , my arrow went right through the male and stuck about 20in in the yew. She made it about 20yds and fell he only went 75yds and was done ( 750gr arrow and a TreeShark )
Also here is a pic of a hog I shot several weeks ago. The pics are off my phone and are small and I dont know how to make them bigger , anyway going after deer now that I have some time back in the woods. Good luck to everyone and have a safe season.......

Outstanding. What bow, weight and broadhead did you use. That is a great deal getting two for one.
Nice hog.

Bow is a Tall Tines , mid 60s at my just over 30in draw , arrow GT 75/95 125gr steel broadhead adpt. ,100gr brass insert and a Simmons TreeShark broadhead , 2219 aluminum footing.

Yes we eat them , a lot of folks don't like the meat but I have had it many times ( even won a wild game cooking contest once with aoudad meat ) . We don't eat very much store bought meat , pretty much live on game meat we love bear. With that said I might not be the best judge on it but I'll eat just about anything that don't eat me first.....

Great job Sam ! I'm right there with ya on that eating just about anything that don't eat me first. Haven't had an opportunity to try aoudad or bear but certainly would.
Good shooting buddy,
