    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I'm in for elk, aoudad, and off-range oryx. I was luck to get on-range Rhodes Canyon last year and it was such a cool experience and great table fare I felt obligated to try again off-range. The oryx hunts are cool because you can do them during times of the year you are not already hunting...

    FNG from So-Cal

    Welcome from Norcal. The fishing in Socal is outstanding especially for tuna, yellow tail and dorado. I highly recommend going out of San Diego in the summer months July, August, September.

    One more week until Oryx

    Right! I guess taxidermy has grown on her over the years. I think it has to do with our old house.

    Shoulder mount for the wall with the head turning left. Our home is an old Delta Queen Anne Victorian built 1890’s in Sacramento, California with very small rooms but very high 14 foot ceilings so floor pedestal mounts are not in the cards, but the vertical space will be perfect for 37 inch...

    Yeah, the range might take them away again. They mentioned in our briefing they have had problems in recent years. The hardscrabble mountains and the Sacramento Mountains are beautiful. Both mountain ranges jet out of the desert nearly 90 degrees in some places making for a dramatic setting...

    One more week until Oryx

    Yesterday at 8:12 PM Well, I wanted an oryx 35 inches or better and I got it done this afternoon with this 37 inch cow. It was the first day of the 2.5 day hunt. I made a 408 yard shot with the new Browning 6.8 western about 2 miles from the truck. There were a lot of big boulders that made for...

    One more week until Oryx

    I'm going to be pretty picky and try for the largest I can. My goal is to get something better than 35 inches. The wife wants a shoulder mount for the dining room, so I'm trying for a good one.

    I found a local guy Garcia’s taxidermy. We have talked and I’m meeting him for a some information about judging oryx and hunt locations. He has never drawn but has been on the Rhodes canyon hunt with others many times.

    One more week until Oryx

    I'm one week out from my OIL Oryx tag at WSMR. I can feel the excitement already. I'll be packing this weekend and getting in some last minute long range rifle practice in. I've got my taxidermist lined up and found a butcher that will cut and wrap overnight so we can fly all our meat home...

    Top 5 westerns

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already, but one of my favorites is from our friends down under. The Proposition 2005. Written by Nick Cave and sent in the 1880's Australian Outback.

    Wyoming Unit 7

    Could the drive to make unit 7 general really be the loss of NR tag fees if the legislature adopts the 90-10 task force recommendation? If the plan is to increase tags overall in 7 and 19 it would in theory increase revenue. Just to be clear, I’m a NR who has hunted zone 7 many times, and feels...
