Here's a Oryx I killed in Feb down on the WSMR. First year, drew out. Good fun hunt. Thought you guys might like to look at it. Later

Beautiful Oryx, I always thought you couldn't take a camera on the range? You have taken some nice critters. I have seen some of your critters on BTC.

[257 Wby Mag]

Thanks Ironhead, you're right about the cameras. We stashed ours in the morning outside the gate, before they searched our rig. That pic was taken about 300-400 yards down the road from the entrance to the WSMR. Kinda pain in the ass, but if you get caught bootlegging a camera onto the range, you forefit your tag, which is 1 per lifetime.

Nice Oryx, I always thought about putting in but haven't.  Did you go DIY or did you use a guide?

[Bigshooter]

If you apply on line with a credit card it only cost you $6.  Then if you get drawn it cost around $1,700.  Deadline to apply is before all the other draws, I believe you have to apply by march maybe sooner.

The tag was $1616.00, I believe the deadline in in Feb. I went guided, $1200.00 through USO, my pard got to go for free, that was meals for both, hotel, and transportation in the field.Steak & Lobster both nights along with brewski. A guy could kill one on his own pretty easy, but with the tag fee and only a 2 day season, once in a lifetime draw, I didn't want to chance it. Also, you are unable to scout, so the guide fee was a pretty small price to pay.

Sounds like a good time and fun hunt.  Thanks for showing the pic.

Very Nice!!! Looks like a fun hunt!!!Congrats

Awesome, I put in for it, but didn't draw.  guess I got the elk tag though.  I'm not sure if I will put in this year as I'm not sure I can handle the money going out.  Congrats on the hunt.   

[257 Wby Mag]

You ever get drawn, let me know, I'll go with ya.

That is an awesome looking animal! I drew a tag for Stallion Range Jan. 19,20 2008. Which part of the range were you on? Any words of wisdom?
