Well I am not sure about the non resident tags. There are lottery tags through the drawing for both on-range and month long tags for off-range. My friend gets land-owner tags that are good for a month once we activate them, I assume he could sell or give them to a non resident as well. The ranch used to be a great mule deer ranch, now we rarely see deer but lots of elk and oryx, I think they are more adaptable and less predator sensitive.

OK, got it. No, I havnt talked to Shawn in a while, I saw him at the new store a few months ago but I didn't realize he was the oryx whisperer. I lucked into this place helping the owner with his cattle ( c-section). He invited us down and told us to get a license and bring a gun because he had a bunch of Oryx on him.... he wasn't exaggerating !

Canyon TX is a great place. I've killed several in Namibia myself and eat as much as possible of it over there. It's by far my favorite meat, which is why I want one here so bad.
Lucky kid......!

Lucky kid, he got hired to film hunts in Africa for a month in Namibia and Zimbabwe. His boss let him borrow a gun and shoot a nice Black Wildebeest yesterday. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/ranchdoc/IMG_0468.jpeg)
