New Mexico offers African ORYX hunting on the Whites Sand Missle Range by draw to resident AND Nonresident hunters. 340 WBY was just the ticket for this cow ORYX (yes even the babies are born with horns, ouch!)<hr /></blockquote>One afternoon about 1979 - or there about - my family and I were driving from Holloman AFB to Las Cruces when we saw a large Oryx on the road side of the fence. On the Las Cruces side of the San Andres Mountains I stopped in the small town of Organ and called the Game Warden and told them exactly where I'd seen it. I don't know if they did anything about it or not but when we passed that way a few hours later it was gone.
