just giving anyone out there a quick heads up. i know a ranch owner that has about 1000 head of scimitar horned oryx, and some beautiful huge scimitar/gemsbock hybrids. they are running meat hunts which are females with a broken horn for 500 bucks, trophies i believe, are 1700 but they are huge, some near 50". it is as close to a guaranteed hunt as possible, they are doing this b/c of the texas drought and they badly need to reduce the herd. if ya want a tough hunt, go to the texana ranch, or ask them to hunt on foot here. but if ya'd like to give your pistol a try and get some outstanding meat, let me know and i'll put you in touch with them. they are in gail texas.

With pending CITES legislation, the Scimitar Horned Oryx cannot be hunted after December 31, 2011. Not so with the hybrids. They will get cheaper before the end of the month. We were at the YO ranch two weeks ago, and they were also having a fire sale on the remainder of their Oryx herd.

this crap is getting old, Oregon fought with the one and only exotic ranch we had for 15yrs until a federal judge told them to back off. They ended up making an endrun around the courts and fish and wildlife re classified his animals as Oregon Wildlife which included aisian buff, fallow, auodad, russian boar and sika. I may have missed one or two but now they are down to bison, feral hogs and turkeys.

I wondered the same thing about my elk post when I posted all those pics of the elk and Gary said it was because it wasn't actually about "handgun" hunting.

Perhaps is meant more for hunting stories and such.

I believe so, as well as questions specific for hunting with a handgun

actually they said they were somehow exempt b/c of the age of the herd. not sure how that works but they said that it had something to do with some rule with how old and established the herd was.

Do they have a wed page? Interested in obtaining information on the hunt.
