Trophy California CA Aoudad Sheep Hunts, Outfitters and Guides

The Aoudad also known as Barbary sheep have been free ranging since the early 1930's. Since that time they have populated certain private properties along the central coastal range of California. With a game management program and limited hunting pressure, we have been able to maintain the herd's population to 200-250 sheep. We have been guiding hunts on the central coast on private lands for over 20 years. Anderson Taxidermy & Guide Service, Inc., provides exclusive hunting on two separate ranches.  

This is a two (2) day hunt with transportation and lunch provided. Extra days may be added on to this hunt at an additional daily fee rate. This has seldom happened or been necessary. In previous hunts, most sheep have been taken in the first two days.

Trophy size of the Aoudad, in this hunting area, will range in size from 27"� to 30"�, while body weight averages between 200 lbs. to 250 lbs. This population is the only free ranging herd of Aoudad sheep within the state of California.

The best time to hunt Aoudad on the central coast range of California is from the middle of October thru November, the breeding season for Aoudad. This is also the best time of year in which to hunt Aoudad because of the hair quality which is longer during these months. During this time of year larger numbers ranging between 100 to 200 Aoudad can be seen in a single group. The area on which we hunt is located approximately 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the views are spectacular. Lodging is not provided on this hunt but there are many local motels in the area. The area we hunt is a lead free hunt zone in California. The use of copper bullets or lead free bullets are mandatory.
