Join Triple C Outfitters for some of New Mexico's finest free range Barbary sheep hunting. Barbary sheep, also called Aoudad, are native to North Africa. As a result, they have adapted to survive in dry, rough, barren, and water scarce habitats. Their food consists of a wide variety of vegetation including grasses, forbs, and shrubs. Barbary sheep live in small groups comprised of old and young animals of both sexes. They are capable of surviving long periods without access to fresh water. They were introduced as a non-native species into the wild of New Mexico in the 1950's. Over the last 65 years these incredible animals have thrived in the rocky desert environment of New Mexico. They are expert climbers and have incredible eyesight. Consequently, they are difficult to hunt and 300-500 yard shots are not uncommon.
We specialize in hunting public land units 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 37 and 36. We usually see and kill our biggest rams each year on vast stretches of roadless public land. Shot opportunity on 28"+ rams has been 85% over the last 10 years on public land hunts. All sheep hunts are extremely challenging and hunters should arrive in great shape to maximize their chance of success. We often leave the truck at daybreak and do not return until well after dark. It is not uncommon for us to walk 8-14 miles/day on sheep hunts.
Mature rams will be 8-14 years old and will measure 28"-34". Any ram measuring over the 30" mark is truly a once in a lifetime trophy. The long, golden chaps and mane on mature rams makes for a beautiful shoulder or pedestal mount. Often referred to as the "Poor Man's" sheep hunt, this is a physically challenging hunt that will put your hunting skills to the test. The reward for successful hunters is a truly magnificent trophy animal.
