No problem, I haven't drawn it in 4 or 5 years now, so hope to draw off the range as I have seen quite a few of them this last year, before they did the off the range hunts you would see them off the range all the time, not anymore, they got smart, if they hear ATV's, Trucks, etc. they will go and hide, i've watched them do it....Out elk hunting this year I snuck up within 30 yards of a 40" bull, i was trying to get my camera out to take a picture of it, no go, winded me...oh well, i did get pictures of 4 others that were within 15 yards of me and finally spotted me, but I did get some pictures.
Sorry for kind of hijacking the thread guys, but related as Oryx are hard to take down with a neck shot, this is the one I shot on Holloman, granted the gun was a Weatherby .338-378 with a 200gr Ballistic tip going almost 3600 fps:
