    Oryx, Ibex, and Aoudad

New Mexico is home to some of the most exciting free-range exotic hunting in the country, with rugged mountains, desert basins, and broken canyon country that provide perfect habitat for aoudad, oryx, and ibex. These hunts are as challenging as they are rewarding, with every stalk demanding patience, glassing ability, and physical grit. Hunters may find themselves scaling steep cliffs for wary ibex, picking apart rocky mesas for bands of aoudad, or glassing vast desert flats for the unmistakable horns of an oryx. Whether pursuing these exotics with archery equipment or a rifle, the opportunity to chase them in true free-range settings makes for a world-class adventure.
