Good day everyone!
First, I want to thank everyone in advance and best of luck on this year?s hunts! I am asking for peoples experience and advice on the Rhodes Canyon hunt. My daughter drew the youth hunt and I would like to make this hunt as memorable and hopefully successful for her. I have been reading through the old threads and archives, using google to find information and watching YouTube videos trying to get ideas and information about the hunt and Oryx in general. There are some videos of off range hunts and of course none on range due to the rules of cameras and video recorders. We have been discussing shot placement due to the location of the vitals several times. I have a map of the Rhodes hunt area I was able to go on one time from several years ago and have the BLM maps which I have outlined that hunt area and began to study. I am asking because of the inability to scout the actual hunt area before the hunt.
What is the best way of hunting these awesome animals?
Are the flats or foothills better?
Is it better around Red Canyon and the Oscura foothills or west toward Rhodes Canyon and the San Andres foothills?
I do plan on doing some driving and some spotting (prefer spotting because I don't road hunt).She is determined to get an Oryx and I am determined to do everything I can to help her be successful on the hunt. I've already spoke with one person that has provided some info. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
