ChasMike Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well I went down this last weekend to bowhunt at the deer lease (didn't get anything) and wound up working on stands and such most of the time and only got to hunt once. I saw one really nice buck as I was going down to check one of my stands and on the way out I saw one of these just standing staring at me. I was completely caught off guard. I didn't know what it was until I got home and fired up my computer. This sheep was huge! Had a huge set of horns. Several of the ranches near by have tall fences and exotics so we get a lot of Axis deer and an occasional Fallow deer passing thru our lease, but this was a first for me. If he passes by when I have a rifle in my hands, he is mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 You're kidding! So it is an exotic? At first I was thinking you live in the mountains, but it is sounding like you have an escapee from that exotic ranch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasMike Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yeap Tony it is a Mouflon sheep. They stock them on these high fence exotic hunting ranches (I use the word hunting very loosely here), and they escape on occasion. Our deer lease is in Southwest Texas and the guy next door has one of these high fence game ranches. I must say it is really cool to be setting in your deer stand in South Texas and hear the Elk bugling in the distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
