An aoudad refers to a certain species of sheep that came about as a result of crossing an antelope and a goat. Another name by which it goes is Barbary sheep. Rocky Mountains located in North Africa are the first place these animals were discovered. They are rare to come by. Introduction into South Europe and North America occurred only recently. They go by different names worldwide, including Arruis, Arui, and Waddan. Aoudad hunting has endured for many years.

This breed of sheep is larger than the other type of sheep. They are characterized by a sandy brown coat when they are young that darkens as they grow older. The Barbary sheep also have a red brown color on the outer part of their legs and a dark line on their back. They also have a lighter color on the lower side of their stomachs.

Hunting aoudads is the practice of killing or trapping aoudads. It is mostly done by people with specialized skills such as hunters for food or recreation. Before they only had predators such as leopards and lions, currently humans are the only ones threatening their population. Excessive hunting combined with competition with other species has led to decrease in population of barbary sheep.

The hunting of the aoudad has led to the implementation of regulations and rules so as to curb the decrease of the aoudad. For status a hunter has to be licensed before they start their hunting and also the hunters are to hunt only one aoudad no more. The hunters are to use the required arms which should be licensed and only hunt in the allocated fields.

When one is considering to hunt a barbary sheep they first need to get fit. The exercise involves climbing high altitude, terrains and vast scope of Rocky Mountains so one has to be in good shape. One should also be a good spotter in order to spot animals and shoot at them. One should set specific standards of the animal. They should learn and understand how the sheep leaves hunts and their food source.

One must also be a good shooter so that the animal cannot escape. These animals are hunted through spot and stalk method. The terrain in this they live is also usually very rough and being able to cover a long distance on foot is necessary. One needs to wear the right attire and protective gear. Hunting boots are one of the most important gear one should wear.

The Barbary sheep are rare to find becoming quite a challenge for the hunters in tracking them down. The hunters therefore should have adequate source of information about their prey, their cycle so as not to miscalculate and end up not getting any hunt for the day. This information can be obtained from magazines and TV channels.

Aoudads are classified as big game. When hunting them, one gets the chance to experience the beautiful outdoor environment. Dishes made from their meat are usually very delicious. The adventure is usually worth the trouble. Everyone should make it their goal to have the adventure at least once in their lifetime.
