Someone is taking me on a high fence hunt. I was given the following animals to potentially hunt: Axis, Aoudad, Blackbuck, Black Hawaiian, Texas Doll, Corsican, and possibly a Mouflon. Which would you choose?

I know it is personal preference, just want some opinions.

I'd probably go for the axis for the meat and it is a fun hunt. I do like to try new things so I'd probably consider the blackbuck too.

Personally, I vote Aoudad. It's a bucket list animal for me, if I was given the opportunity and had the means I would leave tomorrow.

Freebie hunt? Hunt whatever you want. I wouldn't let these Google-foo cronies influence that decision.
Yes. I pay for tip and mount. Since it is high fence, I am reluctant on the Aoudad. I could hunt them here free range. All of the rest, I know nothing about. The mouflan looks cool and I like the spiral of blackbuck. Just wanted some opinions

I will be flying from ga to tx. Bringing back meat is difficult. I always heard shipping it is pricey and “iffy”. Any thoughts on this?

Easy to bring meat back on the plane, I do it every year. Get a couple collapsible coolers and check them like luggage. Mine hold about 45 lbs and keeps them under the 50 lb limit. Costs a bit, but it's worth it to me when you add up all the costs of the hunt. All the meat I bring back is frozen beforehand and stays perfect until I'm home. I fly from St. Louis to Seattle.

* Avoid Mouflon and aoudad as those could potentially kick you out of the <1 Club (WSF). For "not much more" in price, you can hunt them free range and get a much better hunting experience.
* Avoid the farm yard sheep species unless they threaten to blackmail you for what you did to them the night before.
* Blackbuck is a viable option. Meat is good, they have nice looking racks but you want the hide to be black.
* Axis is the best option. They have great looking racks, awesome hides, and arguably the best tasting meat of any wild game.

Didn’t know <1 club was a thing. Farm yard sheep is funny.
