Used a type of superglue for the minor repair... the lower jaw has now been reattached. Looks much better this way I think.

I agree that the pressure each or boiling is better... and beetles would be best if that's an option.

Thanx for the advice. I'll try that

Yep.. that's where I went.

Well I'm glad you stumbled upon it and found it interesting... hopefully some helpful information for other hunters out there.

Well... my son and I had an amazing spring break exploring the Land of Enchantment. Did a little bit of javelina hunting on his youth draw tag and enjoyed the beauty of nature from our campervan. Believe it or not...I didn't get the vehicle stuck on this trip!!! This trip also included...

Really does depend on what type of fish (salmon, halibut, rockfish, trout, grayling, etc) you want to focus on as well as what time of year (assuming a summer month) and which part of the state you want to visit (Kenai peninsula, SE, Bristol Bay drainages, interior, Kodiak and Aleutians, etc)...

Here are a few photos of my beautiful 31" oryx bull harvested on 29 November. I still need to get the hunt write up finished and posted.

Those of you with upper Midwest roots might recognize this latest oryx meat creation... pasties... tried oryx plus beef and then oryx plus moose burger.

Yes... Great idea.. my campervan doesn't have a trailer hitch on it... yet... you got me thinking 🤔

And I've tried the burger meat numerous ways: * Simply as burgers in the air fryer-- can't go wrong with this method * Lightly browned in soft tacos--add a strip of bacon to really make the flavor pop * And being a little bit more creative I tried deviled oryx sliders -- which were super...

The fajita meat was excellent as well.

Here are some photos of the summer sausage.

I had my oryx dropped off for processing in Las Cruces the same day I shot it (29 Nov). I was able to pick the meat up and take with me when I headed toward Arizona in the rental vehicle on December 1st. I had two types of summer sausage made: Jalapeño and Pepper&Garlic. I had some fajita...

Thanx for the input-- you might be 100% accurate.. I don't want to steer anybody wrong... my point and disappointment is with the ineffective and inefficient system at Ft. Bliss which would affect basically anybody wanting to hunt any species on the land they control if they try to follow the...

Lessons Learned During this Hunt: I believe one of the possible explanations why I wasn’t seeing more oryx even though I spent so much time out in the field in prime habitat where others had suggested I hunt was my optics set up. I have been satisfied with my set of Minox HD 10x52 binos and...

I know a owe a detailed hunting story to go with this thread... and I'll get it posted very soon... I promise. In the meantime... wanted to give back to the community with some of my lessons learned and thoughts about the hunt. Hope it'll help a few other who are blessed to draw an off-range...

Here's a quick photo of me hauling the two hind quarters and hide and horns out to the truck. Don't think too many oryx have been in a Barney's Alaska pack... Munching on oryx summer sausage while driving to AZ... delicious 😋

Super impressed with and grateful for those on this forum who reached out to me with helpful advice and words of encouragement to keep me pushing thru to get my first oryx. Special thanx to @mozey @PerezA @landop @roadrunner @BUGLEnmIN There are many others as well and I apologize if I haven't...

Well...I got back Monday morning to hunt hard the last 4 x days of my November oryx tag. Promptly got stuck in the sand again at 0215am Monday morning after driving all night from Phoenix... and then real tragedy struck on Tuesday when my campervan went deadlined with a radiator puncture from...

Well... I had to leave the hunt area to head to the Midwest for Thanksgiving and some whitetail hunting. But I got the bug for these oryx and will get back down for the last 3 days of the season and hope to intercept an oryx... thanx for all the info shared and DMs.. definitely keeping me...

Still not successful harvesting an oryx...and no oryx spotted Saturday. Weather definitely different than the first part of the month. And the vegetation is changing color. Big clouds and high winds moved in as the sun was setting... made for some epic photos and several intense rainbows...

Yep.. Great idea... it really was totally my fault that I got stuck. I wasn’t paying attention and was driving too slow in Drive and by the time I started to get bogged down I couldn't get downshifted quick enough and build up speed to traverse the little sand dune area.

Oh... forgot to mention... as I was leaving on the 7th I decided to take one last drive down a road... and got stuck in the sand. Didn't think it was going to be bad getting out.. only a little bit of digging... yeah right... over 4 hours later I called it quits as night was falling and called...

Well..I hunted hard for the first 6 days of November and mid way thru the 7th until I needed to head out for awhile. I hunted mainly in the Northwest area off WSMR and just wasn't seeing any animals. Spent my time dawn to dusk up on the deck of my campervan glassing or slowly driving and...

Adding another question since I've never hunted in this region. Is there cell phone coverage throughout the area? I deal with a lot of deadspots or no coverage areas while hunting in Alaska...

Thanx for all the advice and input from all those who have responded so far. Extremely helpful. I'll be getting shooting sticks for the hunt and still leaning toward putting off the rifle scope purchase for another year based on feedback. Got me a bit concerned now about my RAM Promaster...

I was fortunate to draw an off-range oryx tag for November 2023. I'll be coming down from Alaska in my RAM Promaster campervan and hunting deer in Wyoming enroute. I can dedicate almost the entire month to this endeavor and I'm really excited to have the opportunity to hunt such a unique...
