[QUOTE="82ndreddevil, post: 558672, member: 36912"] Last year I went on two oryx hunts. One was my fathers off range hunt, the other was my hunt on the Stallion range. My hunt on Stallion produced alot of small calves and broken horns. I cant say I saw anything that I wanted to mount. A couple of stalks got busted by other hunters pulling over to see what I was doing and spooked the animals. The problem with the on range hunt is that its a two day rush to bag something. Did not really feel like I was hunting. The success rate is still around 50% but a lot of the animals being killed are nothing impressive. I do not see why people shoot calves. The off range hunt produced nothing more than alot of sign but no animals. The sand is so dry it is hard to see how fresh it really is. We drove the outskirts of stallion at 5mph stopping very often to glass. I have heard that the hunting was much better 20 years ago. From my opinion the majority of the success comes from shooting broken horns or calves. I understand there are some guys that bagged some nice ones that would dissagree but this is just my opinion from talking to many people and seeing what was getting killed. Thank god we still got excellent elk in this state! [/QUOTE]
