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 saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
