Simitar Horned Oryx Hunt Today

[bzzboyz]

Well I finally got to take my Simitar Horned Oryx hunt toady after waiting almost a year. I got this hunt in a trade for some work I did for the man who owns the ranch. I was taken on a high fence 8000 acre ranch near Austin with a 300 Win. mag at about 125 yards. Single shot through the lung was the first shot which would have probably put her down after a little run but the rancher told me to take another one so I hit her a second time to put her down after a short run. She fell just short of the woods you see on the picture. This was a cow since that was all I was allowed to take that measures 39" in length. The ranchers son-in-law went on the hunt with me and he took a American Buffalo. It was huge. I never knew they were this big until I was actually next to one. All in all it was definately a good weekday away from work. Wish more of my weekdays were like this.

Heres a picture of the buffalo the ranchers son-in-law took today. What a monster. It took a huge front end loader to pick it up and 5 of us to turn it over. Thats me in the picture. I did'nt want to put his in here without him knowing. I put this in so you could get an idea of the size. I'm 6'3" and wiegh 230. So that give you some idea. It's was'nt measured but he guessed 2800-3000 puonds.

Wow, nice animals bzzboyz! Hey, you say the ranch is near Austin. I've been looking for a ranch near Austin that I can hunt when I visit my brother down there. Can anyone pay to hunt there?

 

[bzzboyz]

This is a private family ranch. It is basically for his family and customers. I have some links of some good exotic ranches at home. I will post them when I get there. What part of Texas will you be visiting. That way I can give you the names of some closer to where you will be.

My brother lives in Austin. So the closer the better.
