Not on the White Sands Missile Range which is a limited once-in-a-lifetime tag. They introduced the Oryx to the missile range in the early 60's and since then the animals have expanded "off-range"

Those off-range oryx are tough to find!
Helluva job!

Excellent and congratulations! Nice heavy bases and defined rings, was it a male? Some of the best eating you will find, just don't let your friends know or it will disappear fast. Now comes taxidermy bills!

It was a cow, 32" on one side and 34 1/2 on the other but big bases for a female. We didn't really care since it was off-range, just trying for one with both horns intact. We passed on a few broken-horn or no-horn cows earlier in the day. Already have a 36" bull and a 40" cow mounted so this will be a cool skull mount. As you said the meat is very good, even my wife and daughter will eat Oryx.

Do you have to get a tag for the "off-range" critters?

Yes you need a tag, they are good for 30 days. I think the non-resident license is 1600 dollars! Resident around 150. They sure move around the country, a few years ago we never saw Oryx in this area now we see them all the time. They are so well adapted to the desert and are very hardy, a wonderful game animal and yes really tasty.

Congrats on a beautiful animal; sounds like a pretty warm hunt!
Are off range non resident tags lottery or is that only on-range?
