Aoudad aren’t that hard to kill, placement trumps all of course. In my years of guiding hunters on them, the most common mistake I saw made was trying to shoot them like WT, Elk, etc. Even with reminding hunters they were an African animal and the location of vitals, when it came crunch time sometimes all bets were off and the shots were too far back. I’ve seen several rams soak up bonded and mono bullets out of dragon slayer magnums with placement behind the shoulder and cover miles afterwards. More than a few handfuls that required follow up shots with the same set ups...

Personally I’ve killed them with 6.5 CM and 147 ELDMs/140 AMaxes/139 Scenars....6.5 SAUM and 139 Scenars....308 and 155 Scenars.... 7 SAUM and 150 Scenars/162 AMaxes....7 WSM and 168 Bergers.
