Quick Answer
Aoudads are attracted to low, grunting calls that mimic a wounded animal, such as a bleating kid or a struggling ram. These calls are best made on a diaphragm-style call or a mouth call that can produce a low, throaty tone. Loud, high-pitched calls are ineffective for aoudads.
Choosing the Right Call
When choosing a call for aoudad hunting, look for a diaphragm-style call or a mouth call that can produce a low, throaty tone. These types of calls are ideal for mimicking a wounded animal, such as a bleating kid or a struggling ram. The goal is to sound as realistic as possible, so a call with a smooth, consistent tone is essential.
Effective Calling Techniques
To get the attention of aoudads, use a low, grunting call that is repeated every 10-15 seconds. This will help to simulate the sound of a wounded animal and get the aoudad’s attention. The key is to be consistent and patient, as aoudads can be skittish and may take time to respond to the call. Start with a quiet call and gradually increase the volume to avoid scaring the aoudad off.
Timing and Placement
When calling aoudads, it’s essential to consider the timing and placement of the call. Aoudads are most active during dawn and dusk, so it’s best to call during these times. Place the call in a location where the aoudad is likely to pass through, such as a game trail or a water source. This will increase the chances of getting a response from the aoudad.
