Back from Texas

I went to Texas this year with the intention of only going after a free range Hill deer and some pigs with my bow.  I was hunting with Action Outdoors Adventures.

To make a long story short.  After 3 hunts and 12 hours of sitting hunt number 4 was my time.  25yard shot.  He went 20 yards after a double lung hit.  125gr Slicktrick Standard.



This finished things up for me a couple days early.  I enjoyed that hunt so much I wanted to go and try for another one.  The owner of Action Outdoors asked me if I still wanted an Oryx.  I told him I did.  He knew of a ranch with a permit I could hunt.  I forgot all about hunting pigs to get this Oryx.  Two days and eight hours of waiting and I finally got the Oryx.  Was it worth it?  Oh yes it most definitely was!!!  First shot was further back than I would like.  I took a 60 yard follow up shot and closed the deal.  The animal went another 60 yards but no further.  Slicktrick 125gr standards strike again.

I believe that is a Scimitar Oryx.

The econuts would be going crazy over it.

Yes it is a Scimitar and yes I do have a permit for it.
