[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1672679, member: 102560"] I make jerky and "buck sticks" (dried sausage) out of them..I like it--and my kids--and neighbor kids love it! I love to hunt them--and now I'm all grown up--and have to work don't have that much time to hunt them anymore. When I was a kid we would see them very seldom--it was a rare occasion to see one--the last 10 years while not common on our place--you can catch a ram loafing on the edge of Cliff or of an evening on the east side of a hill. My father in laws place in Medina is chock full. They are tough and good shot placement is crucial, but a-6.5 is plenty, we regularly shoot them with 6mm and 25 calibers...the most dramatic kill I have ever seen is with a 243 WSSM and a 80 grain Barnes bullet,my father in law spine"ed" a nice ram and we watched him roll down the side of a pretty steep hill into a drainage. It was Hell getting that big rat out of there. Nice rams you took on your hunt. I love and hate to see all the guys enjoying this type hunt-- the prices have skyrocketed the last 5-6 years...I see a lot of outfitters buying up rams on places--and charging top dollar, I guess it is all supply and demand.
