Looking into trying Aoudad hunt in New Mexico in a couple years. Are they plenty on public land or would private be best. any info would be helpful. Would consider Texas also but figured it would be more expensive. Thanks
It's an easy tag to draw but a hard one to fill. Unless you are from there you are in for a steep learning curve on where to look.

Good private land hunts from what I have seen are around $3000. If you want one over 30 inches, this will provide you the best opportunity, either in New Mexico or Texas. This guy has a great rep on one of the big international hunting boards:
