My son was drawn for this exotic hunt. Has anyone ever hunted there? What is your advice? What type of exotics are on this place? My 9 year old son is super excited. Wish us good luck

Call the headquarters and reserve bunk space to stay. Tough but fun hunt.

Done. Thanks a lot. I'm only 39 and in decent shape so I'm ready to climb those hills

You'll love the hunt. Hunt slow and methodical with nose in wind. Take few steps, glass, repeat. Aoudad comfort range is right at 400 yards seeing you, if they smell, see and\or hear you, they gone...killed 4 aoudad and 2 Corsican when I went. Hiking in before first light and not making it back to truck til after dark kind of hunting. Rugged, beautiful country. If you hunt you will have opportunity to harvest.

How far were most of your shots? My son is only 9 so I'm hopefully to get fairly close. You did awesome killing 6 animals. Are some compartments better than others? Which compartment were you in and should I try to request a certain area?
