Today was also uneventful till about 30 minutes before dark. We got into a group of hogs and killed 3 of them and then we finally spotted a group aoudad. I really sucked it up and missed a shot at 500 yards.
I was getting discouraged but after finally spotting some aoudad I'm fired up again.

It could be pretty dangerous trying to get out compartment 4 in the dark .
I'm pretty sure they took all the standby hunters. I might have to try this hunt again

We found some aoudad today but they were right at 1000 yards and heading away from us.

Well I made it home empty handed. This is an awesome hunt. The park employees go out of their way to help. The accommodations were way better than I expected.
I met a couple of new friends and I got to hunt with one of my one of my best friends that I met on the first day of kindergarten about 36 years ago. He introduced and taught me how to hunt. We usually only get to hunt together now about every other year, so this was a great trip even before the hunt started.
We saw two decent groups of sheep. A couple of good rams. Had shot opportunities and killed some pigs. I really think we had figured the aoudad out and if the wind hadn't got up to 30 mph Today we would have had a good chance at them.
If you are trying for this hunt, start working out now. It's a pretty physical hunt.
