In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams sits down with Phil Massaro. Unlike past discussions with Phil about hunting Africa, they discuss Phil’s recent west Texas aoudad hunt. Phil recounts the story of this hunt, the gear he used, shares a few fascinating tidbits about things that have happened on this hunt and a previous hunt, and a few tips for those considering making the journey out to the desert to hunt these creatures.

The big takeaway? Aoudad hunts are a fun, and cost effective way to hunt a mountain species, but they can be physically challenging and appropriate gear and preparation beforehand are essential.
