Aoudad, also known as barbary sheep, are a type of wild sheep native to Africa. It was introduced into the Palo Duro Canyon in 1957, and can now be found in the Panhandle, Edwards Plateau, and Trans-Pecos ecoregions of Texas. Their large numbers and propensity for steep, mountain habitats create an exciting and accessible opportunity for many hunters. However, there are many different attitudes toward aoudad and numerous management strategies used to manage them. To adequately assess all attitudes and management activities toward aoudad, we are seeking your input. We value your thoughts and are sending this questionnaire to landowners in the Trans-Pecos, as well as hunting license buyers who resided in the Trans-Pecos counties during the 2024-25 season.
