As a native Texan I’ve been lucky enough to harvest several free range Aoudad on spot and stalks for myself as well as help friends on their hunts. We always and I mean always quarter them out on the side of the mountain (2000ft elevated hills). I’ve done the gutless method where we quarter...
I looking for rope ratchet or pulley recommendations to use on moose hunt. I might not need it but would like to have an ace in the hole just in case I find myself in a situation where I can make light work out of heavy situation. Right now I'm thinking something like what snowbunje makes...
