Posted this on the New Mexico section, but figured I'd post here too.

Was lucky enough to draw this unique New Mexico Auodad tag this year. Since this isn't a typical species most guys hunt, was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience hunting them. I'm guessing a lot of hiking and glassing, but anything specific about this hunt would be appreciated. Judging a good ram seems difficult too.

Congrats on the tag

I'm sorry I can't help you out there. However, while researching my hunt I did come across a few people on other forums saying to pay attention to the Guadalupe rim. But you probably already knew that. I did get some good pointers from game warden in Roswell. Good luck.

Did you have any luck? I drew that tag for 2018. I have talked to one game warden but plan on calling another I have a number for as well.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fill my tag, but had a lot of opportunities and had a blast doing it. I did a little write up on my hunt in the New Mexico section.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

MSU cat61 which unit did you mainly focus on. I am leaving on Thursday to hunt all next week. I am starting over around Alamagordo but will probably end up around Roswell. Would love to know some canyon names. I have most maps.
