After much deliberation I am going to clear the air. I was fortunate enough to draw some really good NM tags and have killed a couple of world-class critters. I was very fortunate, and a bit lucky as well, on a 41" Oryx bull and a 83" goat. I had A LOT of good people behind me!
The Oryx hunt was a lot of fun and I made some great friends in the process. Gilbert of the WSMR was a lot of help and if you ever draw a Oryx tag he is all about helping you be successful. stinkystomper (Tony Pennington), and the WSMR fireman (Tony Padilla), and my little brother were all there helping me out. I had a goal of a 36" bull or 38" cow. We saw a few like this but the Tony's told me no. When we found my bull the Tony's began to get overly excited. What happened after that was a blurr, but a 41" bull was dead and everyone was excited. He looked good to me like a nice bull, but by the way guys were acting I knew I had a great animal. Like I said, the group mentioned above were very much responsible. The fireman made arrangements for a cooler for the head and meat. I am indebted to him for that. stinky drove so I could enjoy the hunt and bought the fuel. Very nice guy and I appreciate that also. My brother did the gutting and lifting. Cannot do it without him either. Gilbert was very accomodating.
Next was the goat. I hunted an area with very few goats. I was not finding anything but two little dinks. Travis Scott of Southwest Hunting Adventures lined me up with a good friend of his Tom McReynolds of Black Mountain Outfitters. Tom took me out personally and showed me my goat. These two guys are great people and I would highly recommend either of them for NM or Arizona. I finally met Travis and he is a very nice guy. I was able to go kill Tom's goat. He measures about 83" with good mass, great length, and awesome prongs. I did this with my wife and kids and they had fun. My wife is good to help me out and a pretty good sport about things.
If someone would like to post a few pics I will send them to them. I am putting vini on notice and if this thread takes on any back biting or gets into any personal issues it will be gone for good and so will I. I have been on MM for 8 or so years so I figure I should share these great critters. Again, the above is exactly what happened and if anyone decides to turn this into a negative or starts anything about personal issues it is gone. Seems a little bit of stuff is being said I am not privy to. I wanted to hold off for official scores, but oh well. Enjoy!
