August Oryx Hunt

[LCHC]

Well guys here are the pics. It was an exciting day to say the least. We didn't see tons of Oryx like we thought we would but what we did see they were all good. I think we seen a total of about 16 Oryx. Out of the 16, 4 were sub-adults, 2 broken horn cows, and the rest good to great cows and bulls. Mine measured 37-1/2" on one side and a little shorter on the other. The other hunter in my group also shot a cow and she measured 36". If it wasn't for my crew I don't think the other guys would have even seen an Oryx. We watched them drive right by 2 standing 60 yards off the road and then we called them on the radio to turn around and one ran right in front of their truck that they didn't see. It was a great hunt and we were glad we could help the other guys on the hunt.

One more thing. Man was it hot walking around out there. I think the truck read something like 102 or 103.

It was a great hunt and I can't thank my crew enough. In one of the pictures is the crew Travis Lightfoot, Robert Major, Sam Lowry and me Tye Lightfoot. Also, special thanks to Mr.Brian Locke the Wildlife Biologist and our escort for the day.

Same ole Trapking, only shows up during Oryx season to get free advertisement. When you gonna do something about this guy NMPaul. LCHC great oryx...wonderful job, good for you.

Holy Moly! A guy posts a picture of a great cow taken on a depredation hunt, and AAOutfitters drops in with posting pics of his client's OIL cows, (which are great cows, but taken on a completely different and trophy oriented hunt). I'd call that a hijack.

But . . . .Everyone's a hater now? They're all a joke? C'mon man, you aren't doing yourself any favors.

LCHC,

Congrats on a beautiful Oryx! That is a great animal for sure. I was pumped when I heard you got that call. Way to take advantage of your hunt. You sure put down a great animal!

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about antleraddiction guys, this is their typical august/march deal. It gets old but some guys have no morals I guess.

Congrats again on a beauty!

 

[sportsman01]

Get over yourself bud, you aren't that good. I drive Rhodes all the time. Finding a large oryx isn't exactly tough. Show some respect to the others on this site, and in turn we'll do the same.

NMPaul....Thanks for cleaning up this post Paul! you did the right thing as it was getting ugly!

Nice one Lightfoot........how many shots did you have to wack her with? One week until your deer hunt cranks up. Are you going to be able to make it and have a heck of a weekend with me and Rashawn
