So l have been busy doing a lot of fishing and not as much hunting this year but me and several friends went to a big 3D shoot last week and also did a bit of hunting. As always I’m hunting free range animals no high fence , I have been lucky over the years and have taken 5 Aoudad with a recurve and this was my first with a longbow he ain’t the biggest but I’m glad to have him. The bow I’m shooting is the Galaxy Black Ridge Longbow 62in 52@30 , 400 carbon with a 270gr Ribtek head. No big stalk story this time I was in a blind and he came into a mineral lick and gave me a 12yd quartering away shot. I watched him go about 50yds and bed down , some cows near by made some noise and he stood to look at them then walked several more yards and was out of sight. I could never see the exit hole so I backed out and went to camp and gave him a few hours. Back with a pack frame and some help to track , we walked over the ridge and I told the story and said he went out of sight right by that tree. And we started glassing and guess what there he was right at the base of that tree dead as a door nail. The shot was good you can see the exit hole in the pics.The day was heating up so we made short work of him and headed back to camp , we cooked up some Axis and Aoudad blackstrap for everyone the following night. Anyone that says Aoudad ain’t good eating is dead wrong in my book we had a camp of 5 hunters all tradgang members and at dinner not much talking was going on just filling our faces with some prime meat. Two of the guys had never had Aoudad before and had always heard it was no good to eat and neither could figure out why they were told that cause it’s very good meat. Anyhow the 3D event was great my two buddies that shot it with me placed and won a buckle but I did not ( wasn't far behind them ) guess I like the targets that bleed....
