Hello all, I was drawn for the September WSMB Stallion Range area. Can anyone give me advice on how, where, and what roads to take, and any other advice would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Well, they will be sending you a bunch of papers to fill out and they will also send you a map of you area. I Havnt been in there enough to tell you the roads are. But there are a lot of oryx on the range so you should have no problem seeing them.
1. Study up on the shot placement for Oryx. If you aim for vitals like you would on a deer or elk, you will miss all the vitals on an oryx. Their vitals are lower and more forward. You basically have to shoot low shoulder.
2. Be prepared for a longer shot. You will be lucky if you get ashot under 250-300 yards.
3. Follow the rules supplied to you with all the other papers. They don't play around.
The map is pretty good about showing the roads. It is a great hunt and the meat is spectacular.
One important thing to remember that requires prior planning. You must have a hunters safety education card to hunt on WSMR (or Ft. Bliss). The state does not require this for adults to hunt, but the military does require it on land controlled by them.
