White sands game

On this hunt, hunters must accept all White Sands missile Range rules and regulations. Every hunter, plus their allowed guest, will have to do a mandatory background check prior to the hunt. Tags for these hunts are available from June until March. Each tag is valid for an entire month. However, hunters should plan to cover hundreds of miles of the flat, open sand country in search for Oryx.

The summer months of June and July tend to produce some of the best Oryx. Mary drew another bead and this time nailed him right in the heart. He dropped like a rock. After dressing him out in the mud , we began the long drag back to the truck. That small bull weighed in at pounds dressed according to the butcher. However, by the time we got him back to the truck he seemed like 1, pounds.

It was definitely not fun dragging that dead weight through mud, junipers and mesquite. That was with two grown men, a strong teenage girl and my bride. After loading the animal into the back of our pickup, we resumed the hunt.

We searched the rest of the day and never got a shot at another Oryx. However, Sunday would be another day and also my last chance to get an Oryx. We were at the check-in station before dawn and there were only about half as many hunters as the previous morning.

It seems that my wife had not been the only one to bag an Oryx. After the routine check of our identifications--after all, WSMR is an active military range--we headed out. We drove and drove. For mile after mile we failed to see an Oryx. I was getting pretty discouraged, as on the first day we had seen a lot of Oryx. Granted, they were far away, but nevertheless they were Oryx. Today, nada! I was sipping coffee and staring out the window as my father-in-law drove slowly down one of the range roads, growing horns on every cactus plant I saw.

Catching a glimpse of something brown out of the corner of my eye, I shouted for him to stop and back up. As he slowly backed the truck, there was my Oryx.
