So last weekend I was able to take this guy at 192 yards. Second day of the hunt and winds were way high...gusts to 35. Went to the hills and found him bedded in a steep canyon underneath a tree.

Shot home with the .300WM and 215 Berger hybrids. They worked well.

Although I thought he'd go bigger he ended up 36.25". I am super happy with him!

Awesome critter! Oryx meat is fantastic!

Is this a diy hunt? Otc tag our draw?

Congratulation Raidergrad! Which range did you hunt? I believe I've been on seven hunts on Rhodes Canyon and hunted west of the Stallion on an off-range tag. You have yourself a nice trophy and some of the best table fare of any game, at least that's my opinion...!

Very nice, good mass and lots of growth rings. Definitely not a youngster, congrats.

Raidergrad,
Congratulations on a rewarding adventure.
I just found this thread tonight and it was fun to see the conclusion.

Very nice Raider. I know those tags are hard to come by. I have a buddy that has some awesome off range private ground hunting and I've hunted with him for 2 years in a row now. I am addicted to these beasts and their meat. Don't dare give to much away.
