Weird! Is that one skinny oryx? Maybe this is a nutritional issue?
 
Wow! Hope that's not a genetic predisposition! Hard to believe she is old except for the length of those. She has survived well!
 
Thanks for sharing, always cool to see pics of these types of things!
 
Amazing length to those horns. Beyond the shape.
 
I like odd critters like this one.
 
Germans would be beside themselves over this..
 
I would shoot that one in a minute. I would have a lot of fun telling my friends about the long and excruciating hunt for the very rare and elusive droop horn oryx!
 
Strange and very interesting !
 
I would love to have it beside my other one - I could tell my customers they were "his & hers" oryx! I a sure I could convince everyone!!!
 
To hard to mount the horns on the wall. It would suck a lot of space up in the trophy room.
 
Third one from the left , this one is from 2005 in Namibia. Was kinda weird they culled it the next day.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
