Yippee! Great job and some day she will be able to share that story with her baby, how she took him/her along for the ride when she got her Oryx in New Mexico. And Robb, I could pick Rem out of a line up of 1,000 guys he looks so much like his dad, well done! Great Oryx!

Man, how did I miss this?
Good on her, wow one tough young lady!
It is a great thing when you hunt with your kids and they connect, I get more excited than if I killed one myself.

Well not to pull the trigger but to tag along while my sons wife chased one on the White Sands Missile Range. She drew a tag for the hunt limited to Iraqi or Afghanistan veterans. She is allowed two guests so obviously Remington is going and I hit the other invite. They have a guide hired so I’ll just be a third wheel but it ought to be fun to glass for them. I found a pair of 8 x 42 Leica Trinovids a guy was selling at a good price do I convinced Rem this was about as good a reason as he would find to buy a hood set of glass. The seller was in eastern Washington and when he heard about the hunt he even shipped me the glasses before my payment arrived just to make sure I got the glasses in time for my flight tomorrow. Pretty good bunch of people our sport is populated with even if we are just a “bunch of hicks clinging to our guns and bibles “ as someone once said.

I hadn’t kept up with this post as I was working another ranch and had my brain occupied with it. EXCELLENT,……very pleased to hear a successful completion to a long planned hunt. Great memories made there. CONGRATS, all around!!!

Thanks guys, she was pumped but I think Remington and I were even more excited. Since it was her hunt I figured they didn't need another body up on the mountain during the stalk so I spotted from the truck but Rem said he could hear my whooping from clear up there once I saw the cow hit the dirt. Memories made!

Sounds and looks like a great hunt. What do those Oryx weigh?

Guide said around 475-500#, about like a short legged cow elk.
