Aoudad Barbary Sheep Hunting Gear List
by Kevin Wilkey
Aoudad or Barbary Sheep are hunted in various parts of the world. For the sake of this gear list, I’m specifically listing out what I would use for a hunt in the West Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico regions. There, you’ll encounter razor-sharp rocks, rugged terrain, and nearly every plant has a thorn—so don’t forget your tweezers. Most aoudad hunts in this region are vehicle supported, so going from glassing point to glassing point in a side-by-side UTV or pick-up truck is the best way to get around.
