It started snowing again! NM weather is so bi-polar. I asked a local and he said, if you don’t like the weather, just wait 30 minutes and it will change.- WNC2500

2024 Southwest Oryx trip (NM)
But it still is moving a little bit. So, it is laying with its body up hill and the only shot I have is quartering away but directly to the heart. I settle it and I’m rock solid. Shot breaks and down it goes dead as a hammer! It amazes me how much an oryx can take.- WNC2500

I give it 20 minutes to let it die and start walking down the canyon. I get level to the meadow where it was laying and it starts to move. It makes move and collapses up against a heavy cedar.- WNC2500

They are bedded down and the largest oryx is in the front. I get prone and sit and wait and wait and now it’s chewing on grass and I’m watching it chew. Cool animal just chewing like nothing is going on.- WNC2500

Ok, I get to where I can see where they are but now I have to find a shooting lane because I’m at the top of the canyon with probably a 45 degree angle.- WNC2500
