elk: I signed up for a meat hunt, the oryx will be a yearling( yummmmmmmm....) about 175- pounds and horns about 24 inches, so no trophy. ( except the steaks...) Looking at hunting another maybe in february..... 7mmMato- Charles, theres no pigs on the menu for this trip but I have Carte Blanc if I see any while hunting axis, and theres a few on that ranch. Gonna give the petting zoo a real going over! Wyo:if its been 10 years since your last axis.......

The Oryx your going to hunt in a few months will be some incredible table fair. If you decide you your looking to hunt a trophy Oryx then let me know. I know of a ranch with some monster bulls and I'm thinking that's what I may hunt again later this summer. Animals are much larger than my bull in the photo I posted. Later Buddy, Elk

Actually Im looking at a cow hunt. I promise you Ive got all the horns I can eat...cows have horns and if they are good enough...I'll find a spot for them  but securing a trophy isn't what Im after at this stage... Gotta admit though, Im being a bit picky on axis Though I have no place left to hang one...... BTW thats a pretty dandy bull in your pic!

Yes sir I don't blame you. I'm still looking for a trophy axis hunt. The prices to hunt the ranches that have the larger herds has really jumped up in the last year. That's why I'm looking at maybe an Oryx or Gemsbok hunt.

Gemsbok are one of my all time faves...if you haven't hunted one yet. They are quite tasty, and they are just cool  Shot a couple tons of them in Africa but never in Texas. Don't seem to be any difference though, the ones Ive seen in Texas were spooky as hell too....
