New Mexico ORYX!
Re: New Mexico ORYX!
Hunt is over! We had a blast!
I was holding out for a bigger one and the boys were getting nervous, so on the last afternoon we got serious and I bagged a nice bull. He isn't the big one that I was hoping for, but I didn't want to disappoint the boys with tag soup.
I'll post up some pics when I get them loaded up from the camera.

Re: New Mexico ORYX!
I just happened to have met the biologist in charge of the Oryx hunt on White Sands about a week ago. Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. I learned some very interesting things about the animals. I saw some when hunting over there last year for pronghorn. It was always VERY COOL to see a herd of them out on the prairie. Made me really want to get one when I went to Africa this past Summer. Glad you had fun and that it was successful. I've been thinking of applying in New Mexico myself. Let's see some pictures!!

Re: New Mexico ORYX!

Re: New Mexico ORYX!
Sorry about the delay. The boys and I had a great time!
This is the morning before the hunt when we arrived in NM. The sun was bright that morning! LOL!
And here is the end result Sunday evening:
I put the boys back in for next year. Hopefully they will draw sometime in the near future so I can take them back for another fun time!
Good luck to all the rest of you in the upcoming draws!

Re: New Mexico ORYX!
very cool, THANKS FOR POSTING!!
so how big are they? i've never seen one personaly. i'm guessing bout the size of a caribuo?
bigger than a muley but smaller than an elk? and it looks like you were able to drive to him. is there lots of animals on the hunt? congrats on what looks like a great time spent with your kids. they will remeber those times forever!
