Title: Oryx Hunt Pics - New Mexico
Post by: RubblesPH on August 27, 2008, 07:50:45 PM: Thought some of you might like to see some pics of the Oryx I helped a buddy take this weekend on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

My buddy just got back from his Dall hunt. He got a 35'' 9 year old ram. I will contact him on the hunts we were talking about and pm you.

Look forward to getting info about the other hunts

The bull is pretty exceptional. He's 37 1/2" long and has 7 1/2" bases. The hunter was pumped to say the least. We think he'll go pretty high in SCI. It'll get scored in a couple of weeks.

Post by: WAcoueshunter on August 27, 2008, 09:34:58 PM: Awesome bull! I assume you're next to the fence because you couldn't have cameras inside? Strikes me I've heard that before about the oryx hunts.

Post by: RubblesPH on August 28, 2008, 03:42:12 PM: Yes, the pics are by the fence because you can't take camera's on the range. You can take a cell phone for emergency contact w/ range officials, but they do not allow you to use the camera function.

There we basically two spots to take a pic, back by the fence or on the gravel road.

Post by: RubblesPH on August 28, 2008, 07:29:38 PM: you said it Slider - Surpasses deer and elk by a mile....in my opinion.

We fired up the BBQ and cut meat until 2 am the other night. Goes great with Coors light or anything else for that matter!

257 - sounds like a great bull, post some pics.

Let me know if anyone draws...I'll give you all the info that I have. It's a great hunt.
