We were selected for the 1/7 - 1/9 Exotics hunt at Caprock. Has anyone ever hunted Caprock? Tips/Advice? Thanks.....

Lucky dog, that is going to be a fun hunt. I do not have anything to add but will be following.

I got a ram two years ago on the hunt. Hunt all day long no going in for lunch. To short of a hunt. It gets cold that time of year. We camped and it was in the teens and windy. Bring good binoculars and glass all day. It really depends on the compartment you get. The real rugged cliffs will hold aoudad all day long. The open compartments will having aoudad passing thru. Out of 6 groups one group wounded a big ram and another shot two small ones. We saw probably twenty different aoudad no real big rams but they are there. It is supper steep in some parts and shots can be far if you cant close the distance. Don't forget your hunter orange. Good luck

We hunted there about ten years ago and took an old barren ewe and a hog. Our area was the northwest corner area. The first day we made the climb to the top, but the second day we had them drop us off on the county road on the backside. It was only about a 100 yd climb from the road to the top.

Its a fun hunt.

Beautiful scenery and a fun hunt! I didn't see any but I'd hunt there again in a heartbeat!

Thank you all for the information. It will be a good time!

Started out this morning after orientation at about 10:30 and started the hunt, walk in to our unit about 2,300 acres. As you can imagine this is part of Palo Duo Canyon it is all up and down, it is a good looking area to hunt. We have seen a lot of signs and game trails, but no Auodad today. However Farmhand did take hog and we are cooking the back strap as I write. Pics to follow

That's a lot of pork. Congrats!

Which pasture are y'all hunting?

[Fiddlefish]

Nice hog! Sounds like a fun hunt.

We are hunting in unit one, which is north east of the station and just west of the county road. One of the rangers said her son has seen a lot of Auodad there, hopefully we will some today.
