Ripp,
I hear the Aoudad hunting in the Palo Duro Canyon are is good and very free-range.

After taking my cow last week, we saw some Aoudad with big horns while chasing axis/chital does ( they won): we came across a coyote hunting the same game I was - that is a no-no and the ranch manager is glad I shot it.

I took my daughter elk hunting in Montana for her college graduation years ago. It was too warm and the bulls were mostly still up high, but she did take a nice mule deer buck at 400 yards with her Weatherby 7mm WM. Her guide was amazed and trotted half a mile to tell me, but I just told him that all Texas gals can shoot like that. And all Texas dads can lie like that.

thank you for the info..

Yes was talking to a guide down there, first name Jesse, who had an area picked out..will have to ask him about this..

Sounds like your daughter is a very good shot..not too many guys that can make a 400 yard shot..
We had a good season here this year, I hear the harvest numbers are way above average..in the areas where the wolves have not yet located too, the elk numbers are very high as we have had mild winters for the past 4 years ..but where the wolves moved in the numbers a way below average numbers..in some cased less than 20% of norm..

Take care

Ripp
