THE FINALE’

THIS WAS A VERY MEANINIGFUL HUNT TO ME. I HUNTED THIS ANIMAL ON MY LEASE FOR THREE YEARS. THE VERY LAST HUNT OF THE LAST TIME BEING ON THIS LEASE I FINALLY SHOT THE ANIMAL I DESIRED! NOT A WHITE TAIL, OR ANY OTHER EXOTIC..BUT AN AOUDAD! MIGHT I ADD TWO OF THEM! THAT MORNING I WATCHED FOR 3 HOURS BEFORE I FINALLY SAW ONE AOUDAD COME IN THE FEEDER PIN. THEN CAME TWO MORE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINS. OF PATIENTLY WAITING, HERE CAME ABOUT 20 MORE! THERE WERE TWO AOUDAD ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE. THANK GOD I GOT BOTH OF THEM. I DROPPED THE FIRST ONE AND RIGHT AFTER I SHOT, THE YOUNGER ONES TOOK OFF. HOWEVER, THE OTHER AOUDAD I WAS LOOKING AT WITH THE OLDER ONES STOPPED AND NEVER MOVED! I EJECTED MY SHELL OUT OF MY 25 06, RELOADED (WITH ONLY TWO SHELLS IN MY GUN, THE FIRST ONE WAS USED ON THE FIRST AOUDAD, HE SECOND ON THE SECOND ONE!) AND SHOT THE SECOND ONE AND DROPPED IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FEEDER PIN. THIS HUNT WAS THE MOST REWARDING HUNT I’VE EVER HAD! WITH SOME HARD WORK, RESEARCH, AND PATIENCE I FINALLY CLAIMED THE ANIMAL I DESIRED… AND BY THE WAY- AOUDAD ISN’T AS BAD AS WHAT PEOPLE SAY! PITCURED IS ME: BRANDI KELLEY ON MY LEASE INBETWEEN LANO, AND FREDRICKSBERG OFF OF WILLOWCITY LOOP.
