I constantly had people tell me how amazing oryx was as table fare. I enjoyed the tenderloins and backstrap trim for lunch the other day. This is the best wild game meat I've ever had. Fresh rosemary, garlic, Dijon, sea salt and black pepper then grilled over pecan.

I've seen firsthand what this rifle does to elk and deer. Impressive. Buy with confidence.

Share some photos!

Take up AZbowhntr on his offer as he knows the unit well. 23 is a special place during the rut. Archery hunts are no gimme with thermals moving and eyes everywhere, elk bust out. It's way different than an early rifle hunt. In addition to your workouts, train your lungs for higher altitudes. This is tougher to do in Tucson, but there are ways to deplete your body of oxygen while training.

I heard the same thing last year when in the Florida's.

Same. Same.

Reminds me of Jim Reynold's place.

Gnarly Bases on this bad boy!

They do not (unless they are overstock/demo/open box) but they don't charge sales tax.

Saw one on Amazon out of all places. I called Doug at Camera Land when I was looking for one. They were out of stock but put me on the list. I got a call a couple weeks later. I believe he tries to source them for you.

You bet and same to you. It's refreshing to see a newbie with genuine engagement and not a spammer.

I can only assume their predictions are based on experience gauging available feed right before dropping and the current bleak precipitation forecast for much of the West. If this past winter had been wet, with a wetter-than-normal spring forecast, we would all be anticipating exceptional antler growth.

It depends on when the lack of moisture is prevalent during their growing cycle. It's my understanding that dry winters have an adverse effect on top antler growth. In other words, their 4th/5th/6th points lack any length/mass. On the other hand, if it's dry during spring/early summer, their fronts (brow tines & 3rds) are weak. A dry winter/spring/summer scenario can negatively impact antler growth quite heavily. This can easily result in a 20" to 40" deficit compared to antler growth in wetter years.

I'm just praying for a sheep tag come June.

Your Mom is in our prayers.

I have a nephew getting into tying flies. I'm looking to gift him some pieces of deer/elk/antelope hide so he can use the hair. Let me know what you have and thanks in advance!

PM incoming!

Just texted you Tommy! Thanks!

Great stuff! Those kids are loving it. Great on you guys for getting them out and passing on the tradition. Congrats!

I used to dunk my Outdoorsman in the bathtub after every season to get rid of the dust creating the squeaks! Drove me nuts.

Hope all is well with your Father.

Closing hunting is where it affects me the most.

Ravenrocks Precision is who I used as soon as they had some Norma brass available again. Looks like primed is all you can get from them at the moment.

Perfect Follow Up and recap. Congrats Andrew and to all involved!
