Great video! We hunted right next to Black Gap WMA, in November. I love that country!!!! The landowner told us to please shoot some Aoudad if we saw them, and to mark and let him know if we saw a Desert Bighorn. We saw no sheep, but the country will take your breath away, and I was just proud to walk on it, and breath that air.

My wife walked in at the end of it and it caught her attention. she said Blk Gap isn’t that one of the ones you grip about never drawing a mule deer tag for? It’s an isolated, middle of no where, abyss of a desert Mountain, why?” then she repeats “ isolated middle of nowhere Mountain, never mind,,,,, you are so weird” and walked off.

I sent my wife pics, in the evening at the house, the only place there was a signal. She said "damn sure your kind of place."

Incredible.
I've taken a week long canoe trip down stretches of the Rio Grande very similar to that. Did the lower canyons from Big Bend then through the state park. Gorgeous country.
Would be a blast to hunt your way down it.

Great story! I wish we had as good of luck with our bighorn sheep program. Whereas our elk herds have been quite successful, our bighorn sheep program has struggled. I believe our sheep are Rocky Mountain Bighorns. Not sure how many we have but disease (I think pneumonia, etc) seems to keep our herd low. They usually auction one permit off per year and have a lottery for one more. The auction brings high dollars but it all goes to the herd, so it is a good thing even for those of us that cannot participate at that level. They're pretty rare but I have seen some of them and taken pictures while out antelope hunting and that alone was worth it to me.

Man, I would be just happy hunting them with a camera. This is really cool. Makes me want to do a West Texas trip soon.
