Description

The Barbary Sheep (or Aoudad Sheep) was introduced in Spain in the early 70s as a part of a plan to add new hunting species in the country. It is a big and robust animal, whose weight is around 100 kg. (220 lb.). Males and females hold similar horns but they are thicker and longer in case of males. Its long mane is very characteristic going from the head to the chest.

Our hunting area is placed at the largest free-range population in Spain,inside Sierra Espuña National Park. The usual warm temperatures found here and the rocky mountains with low vegetation, recreate somehow the Aoudad original habitat found in the Northern mountains of Africa. Therefore, the tough conditions of these mountains can make this hunt quite demanding. In fact, it probably is one of the toughest hunts in Spain. As any other mountain game, the hunt is conducted in spot and stalk, so the hunter must be ready to long walks in difficult conditions and eventual long shots over 200 m. (220 yd.).

Gear & Equipment

In general lightweight clothing means synthetics (fleece, nylon, poly, etc.). Always when backpacking weight is a restricting factor, we do not need to forget that synthetics are lighter and quicker to dry. Wool is still as good as ever, but it is heavier than fleece and a lot harder to dry.

It is a better Windstopper or Windbloc fleece, more odour resisting and warm when wet. Don't worry too much about having everything in camouflage. Neutral colours like sand, green, tan and so on, will do just as well. If you wish to go in camouflage, look for the grey colour or any other that blends with rock ledges.
