Bowhunting Aoudad in Africa: The Atlas mountains of Morocco.

Video Description

High in Morocco’s rugged Atlas Mountains, I join local wildlife officers for an unforgettable pursuit of the Barbary sheep—also known as the aoudad—an agile, cliff‑dwelling species that has called these slopes home for thousands of years. With nothing but a bow in hand, I navigate sheer ravines and thorny wadis to close the distance on these legendary North African natives, capturing every heart‑pounding moment for you. Morocco is evaluating new regulations that would finally recognize bowhunting as a legal, sustainable harvest method, and the authorities invited me to put the practice to the test in the field. Join me for an inside look at responsible hunting, conservation partnerships, and the future of archery in this extraordinary landscape. Do you want to support our knife project?
