New Mexico McGregor Oryx

Wanted to share my Dec. McGregor Oryx with you guys. What a dream come true and what a great animal to have the privilege to harvest in New Mexico. I hired Kiowa Hunting Service to guide me on my hunt and they were spot on with finding me a good bull far away from the crowd; I couldn't have done it with out them. It took us two stalks to get close enough for a comfortable shot off of the shooting sticks for me and at 370yards I let one fly right through the pump station. He went 60yards and piled up!! Everyone talked about how tough these animals are and how hard they are to bring down. I got a little lucky to make the perfect shot. (FYI I likely fired 300 rounds at 300 to 500yards before my trip.) The bull went 35-1/2inches with 8inch bases and the body was huge. By the way its true the meat is awesome!

Foldem, congratulations on a fine bull. And good for you for doing that serious range work before your hunt so that you could make the shot you had to make. I'll bet 90 percent of hunters would have blown off the prep work.
