My Grandson's Oryx Hunt

[djonescfi]

My grandson drew an Oryx permit last year and I finally got around to posting the results.
He was age 9 at the time and had already become a seasoned hunter the week earlier by
downing a cow Elk. He nailed this Oryx with one shot at 230 yards with a .270 Win. The
horns are 38 & 39 inches. Dig the grin on his face. I guess all that practice I did with him paid off!
Now it's my turn

Awesome! That is a great oryx. I want that tag so bag I'm going all the way to Africa to get one.

Now that's one happy boy!

Congrats to the young hunter, and good luck in future hunts.

Very fine looking animal especially for a junior hunter , can tell he is real proud of it !

Question though , I assume these are an introduced species to the states , what states are they huntable in , imagine Texas might be one ?

Thanks , Dan
