killer ( unless you plan to use it for food) but if it is what you call sport then K I L L E R ( you hope)

lol i just plugged in a big freezer i bought last winter in anticipation of just this very thing. i dont kill any animal that i dont intend to use. its not sport to me to kill just for the sake of killing, not even a rabbit or even what some guys call "varmint" hunting for coyotes and such. i have heard they are very tasty, related to the antelope. i hope to find out soon. hope you guys are not closet vegetarians.

Not on your life I've never soon one of those but you'll have to let us know how it goes.

if you mean that we only let our animals eat vegetables ...then yes yes we are

In my opinion vegetables are what food eats! :dance:

I have some vegetarians IN my closet. Gonna eat 'em up. They are OK though, cause I threw a ham in there for them.

Does the military have a ton of rules for being armed on base?. I know here even with a CC permit you cant enter the air force academy. Let us know how it goes.

i dont know all the particulars yet but i do know that i cannot have a camera, no pistols, no alcohol. if they are doing any sort of missile test and you happen to have dumbass luck then your SOL. something about a hunter safety card but i went through one of the first of those in texas back in the late 70's as a kid. sorry to jump the gun on the vegetarian thing. nice to know you guys are a buncha MEAT eaters

have a good safe hunt and if you run out of room in freezer let me know I can come down to haul off any extra. Good luck killer

use enough gun

I'd listen to what the military tells you about hunting there. I knew of a guy that hunted there and he said there is a lot of unexploded ordinance laying around everywhere. That would put a damper on a hunting trip. Being called "Lefty" and not being able to shift a four speed wouldn't be much fun either. I've never been there, but I hear the game out there is awesome. Good luck and be careful.

back from the hunt and it was a hard one. my dad got one with 39" horns. i missed my shot. i had a running shot and led it too much because i did not want to gut shoot it. all the vitals in those animals are pushed way forward and a good kill shot is through the front shoulder and low. was a good hunt just to be out there with my dad. i did have enough gun as i was packing a .300 winchester magnum. pretty animals. i have heard several people say they prefer oryx meat over beef but i have yet to eat any. my dad will have the head mounted and i will post pics whenever he gets it back. on the unexploded ordinance there are several places that are off limits and a few years back a man picked up "something shiny", it exploded and killed him. i saw nothing but a spent 50 cal shell. we got to see the trinity site where they set off the first atomic bomb. all in all it was a good hunt but its damn good to be home.
