With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

You could make a heck of a lifetime worth of challenges just hunting aoudad in their various locations.

1. West Texas free range
2. Palo Duro area free range
3. California free range
4. Spain free range "mostly".
5. South Africa free range, again mostly.

They can also be hunted on game ranches in Texas, Croatia, maybe Bulgaria, Texas Hill Country

Now I hope no one is offended by this but I've never had much interest in the Aoudad, I view them as an "ugly" sheep.

To each their own. I like them a lot.

Their billy goat gruff and tan color don't compare tot heir brothers the Blue sheep.

I agree with you, it’s disrespectful to compare aoudad hunting to NA sheep hunting.

They are ugly and they stink

Not much difference in an aoudad hunt vs a desert bighorn.

To me they are really interesting. I do not understand why people give these sheep hell. They are a heck of a resource.

"disrespectful" is a strange choice of words.

Even the game ranch aoudads are cagey.

I have only hunted them free range in New Mexico and in the Chinati mountains of west Texas.

Anyone have a destination hunt booked for sheep this fall?

I had a friend recently return from bear hunting in Russia. Definitely a great value if you don't mind the risk factor. He never felt uncomfortable from a risk perspective besides his nerves going through customs. I won't be going to Russia anytime soon, but he's going back for moose and sheep!

Are you able to export capes and horns from Russia to US?
