Boast Post. Recently got back from my first Aoudad hunt in west Texas. Was fortunate to harvest a 29" sheep that was broomed on both sides. 13.75 inch bases. Hunting partner spotted this sheep at just under 2 miles. By the time we closed the distance and popped our head over the ridge, he was under 500 yards and working his way towards us.
Gun/Load -- 28 Nosler. 180 Berger Hunting VLD.
SHOT -- 390 Yards. Sub 5 mph Wind. Impact Velocity 2630. Impact Energy 2750. Hit 1 inch behind crease.
Result -- Caliber wound going in. Golf ball size would through both lungs. Significant fragmentation through liver. Ran 70 yards (no blood) and fell over dead before I could get back on him. Bullet broke rib on exit and lodged just under offsite skin. Bullet retained 86.4 grains of original weight.
29" Broomed
Entrance Wound just behind crease
Exit Wound. Bullet lodge just under fat on offside
Retained bullet weight
