[QUOTE="Rcritch, post: 2743204, member: 125956"] I realize that your hunt was last year, hope you filled your tag, but I thought I'd add some more info for others who might apply for the NM Oryx hunt. 1. I agree with El_Bandito on preferring the Nosler. Oryx are hard to put down. 2. Off range the Oryx are very wary, unlike the unmolested, tame critters on the range. If you're lucky enough to get a standing shot it'll most likely be at long range. Otherwise you'll be shooting at a running Oryx, and they can really move! 3. If you put one down but not out (say with both shoulders broken) don't get cute and try to cut its throat. Oryx are very dangerous, the only hoofed animals that are documented to have killed African lions. And off range they are known to have killed large bull cattle. One even killed a Missle Range security guard. 4. Switchback is absolutely right about the oryx's anatomy. To better illustrate what you're in for, with regard to shot placement, take a look at this: [ATTACH type="full"]437998[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
