Inside the Hunt

Picture this: You're creeping through the rugged West Texas terrain, your guide pointing out fresh tracks and sign. The wind's in your favor as you round a rocky outcrop, and there he is - a majestic Corsican ram, his curled horns catching the morning light. That's the kind of moment we live for at Angry Goat Outfitters. Our private hunting land is carefully managed to maintain a healthy population of these striking animals, giving you the best shot at a wall-worthy trophy. We keep our groups small - just you and your guide - to maximize your chances and minimize pressure on the land.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Hunting Corsican rams in West Texas is a game of patience and strategy. These wily creatures have keen eyesight and a knack for disappearing into the landscape. We'll teach you to read the land, looking for telltale signs like rubbed trees and bedding areas. The terrain here is no joke - expect rocky hills, dense brush, and wide-open spaces that'll test your stalking skills. We typically use spot-and-stalk methods, glassing from high points to locate rams before planning our approach. Depending on the situation, we might set up near watering holes or travel corridors. Be ready for some serious boot leather and bring your A-game when it comes to shot placement - these rams are tough customers.

Target Game Breakdown

Corsican rams are the star of this show, and for good reason. These aren't your average farm-raised sheep - we're talking about free-range, hardy animals that'll give you a real hunt. Corsicans are known for their impressive horn growth, with mature rams sporting thick, tightly curled horns that can make a full curl and then some. What sets them apart is their striking color variations. You might encounter anything from classic tan and brown coats to unique black, white, or even piebald patterns. Weights typically range from 120 to 200 pounds, with older rams on the heavier end.

The best time to hunt these bad boys is during the fall and winter months. That's when the rams are in their prime, sporting thick coats and fully developed horns. It's also when the rut kicks in, making the rams more active and potentially less wary. Keep an eye out for bachelor groups of younger rams, but the real trophies are often the lone old boys who've learned a thing or two about avoiding hunters.

What makes Corsican rams so exciting to hunt? It's a combination of their challenging behavior, the varied terrain they inhabit, and the pure aesthetic appeal of those curled horns. Landing a mature Corsican is a true test of your hunting skills, and the end result is a mount that'll have your buddies green with envy.
