billrquimby Report post Posted October 20, 2005 It's interesting to see the license for a gemsbok oryx in New Mexico is $1,500. Add $1,600 to $1,800 and you can shoot one in its native habitat in Namibia or South Africa, including airfare from Tucson or Phoenix, lodging, food, and the services of a professional hunter. Toss in another $2,000 and you can shoot another three or four more animals, including a greater kudu. If anyone has questions about hunting in southern Africa contact me. My former job took me to Africa 21 times beginning in 1983. I've moderated a very popular seminar for first-time safari hunters for the past 15 years at SCI conventions and personally know many of the bettter outfitters and have visited a great many of the areas where hunting occurs in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

CB1 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Hey congrats Tommy, sorry for the late response, sounds like a tough hunt. Coles hunt for oryx is in dec. Do they let you scout before the hunt or is it just a free for all on opening morning. I think you did great, sounds like alot of folks did'nt even get one.Again congradulations.

nmelk13 Report post Posted October 22, 2005 Congrats Tommy. You know I didnt think it was bad gutting mine, but if there is a new technique to get blood behind your ears I would like to learn it lol. It was a tough hunt when I went for mine but I drew one of those one day hunts 4 years ago.. I have heard they are getting harder to come by on the range but there is some places off range that are holding a few groups of them.. Again congrats nice bull.

jamaro Report post Posted October 25, 2005 CB1.. They don't let you scout... They have a hunter orientation in the morning then it is a free for all. it is kind of a drag but I guess we are just lucky to hunt these suckers.. The key is to get up on one of the little mounds and glass... Good Luck Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
