So did old faithful or Black Betty get the opportunity?

Old faithful never disappoints......Betty is sitting on the sidelines..she needs a bit more practice.

I heard Piru range is closed too, no idea where the best place is to dial it in besides Paul C's backyard range i keep hearing about!

Oryx are pretty well dispersed in the deserts of Southern Central NM. There is off range hunts when they get off the military range where they are hunted to maintain a population that does not interfere with military operations. Incredibly fun to hunt. Very cool animal.

Wow... hmmph... you'd figure the tree-huggers would lost their isht to hear about an "invasive species" having be "artificially" introduced to an area. Guess they don't care about the deserts as much since it's not as "pretty" to their eye.
