Oryx Hunts
Looking at putting in for the hunts and wanted to know which unit I should put in for. Is it better to put in for the fall or winter hunts? How do you judge the animals. Can you readily pick out a bull vs a cow? Thanks

RE: Oryx Hunts
Anywhere on White Sands.
Oryx are everywhere here. I personaly would go for the Winter hunts. It does get hot here in the summer.
Just about the only way you could tell the differance between the Bulls and Cows are that the bulls useally have shorter horns with more mass than the cows. The cows have longer pencil type horns.
I would look at useing at least a 300 Win. Mag 180 gr. Prem. Bullets.
hope it helps.
