HARD TO KILL ?

I drew an off range Oryx hunt in New Mexico .. it was for a month long in August. I do know the area pretty good from years of hunting coyotes and even catching a lion out there. The summer can be brutal out here in the desert and the name "Jornada Del Muerto" fits .. Journey of death. We did think we might die time we got back to the truck. Day light till dark over 100 degree weather but with the help of my nephew we were successful.

Excellent job of following up on less that desirable shot placement! I was blessed to take two when I lived in NM one off range & one on a badge hunt. Double tough animal to hunt off range and tougher to kill! Congratulations!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

They are tough .. and I hit him hard just a little far back ... they are good eating .. Thank you!

[@joelmcmahan7386]

This was a fantastic hunt for an African ( I think antelope family). But very neat you can draw this great hunt, some pay thousands to go hunt these. Congratulations on your animal way to track down and finish him. God bless Born 100 Years To Late for sharing this with us all. Great stuff my friend 👍🇺🇸

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks .. yes they imported them onto the White Sands Missile Range and they really did good and spread out off of the range .. this was what they call an off range hunt .. they use to be pretty easy to hunt years ago but they have got smart here lately.. I know this desert pretty good so I found a few of them .. I sure didn't make a very good shot first time but we did get him ... again thanks for watching the videos !

[@williamrockhill5716]

Congrats Brett. Looks like a good time

[@BrettVaughnB100]

It was sure challenging .. I was pretty sure I could find one but just wish I had made a better shot .. not much of a shooter but a heck of a tracker lol Thanks William!

[@Marcialadventures]

Good job on sticking with it! Nice specimen!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you ... I'm not much of a shooter but a heck of a tracker lol

[@McDanielRanch]

Heck ya glad to see this.

[@sethhall9232]

Congrats Brett, that hunt can be tough and that area is not the most ideal. Glad you made it happen

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Seth ... you know better then anyone .. just wish I had made a better shot .. not much of a shooter but I am a hell of a tracker lol

[@gregferre8145]

Glad you found him Brett. I hate tracking a wounded animal. Such a relief when you find them. Theres a guy here claims his mule will track wounded game and bray like a treed hound. I guess when they are dead. He supposedly turns it loose like a dog. Braying on a wounded one that can still go wouldn't help. I have not seen it done. Just heard about it. Don't doubt it though. I could tell when one of my mules smelled a bear years ago. He'd chased them so much and wasn't scared of them.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I need a blood tracking mule lol If I keep shooting like that ... I did consider getting one of the hounds but it was so hot out ... My Jet mule always let me know when there was a bear close by but he sure didn't want to go to them lol Thanks Greg !

[@jeffwilcher3333]

Absolutely enjoyed the hunt brother ... I like you mixing up the videos as you do ... Onward and Upward is the watchword...

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Jeff ... yeah I will be videoing my other hunts too .. hope they come out good and everyone likes them .. after the deer hunt it will be all hounds .. Onward and Upward .. after all that is the watch word lol !

[@nmelkhunter1]

Well earned bull and great hunt. Thanks for sharing the link.

[@rmlestes]

Thanks

[@tomtom5171]

Nice job you are a great example of a ethical hunter. 👏

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Tom... I did look at my Nephew and told him if I didn't locate the Oryx I would just eat my tag .. I knew he would die so we had to find him

[@toddrodgers5108]

Bad ass. Blessings

[@Whithersoeverthougoest]

Nice job Brett, I live pretty close to you (minutes away) I need to put in for oryx one of these days. I like to have at least a tall bipod with me, which are real light.... offhand shots are too shaky for me to try.

[@EmmettHenderson-hf1zm]

Good job!!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks!

[@danielrandolph9170]

Awesome hunt !

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you it was fun.. but would of been a lot better in the winter ..

[@juliojames5986]

Great persistence on tracking that animal down. I am surprised the hunting season is scheduled in such heat ? Must be a reason . A rush to the cooler with the meat….. I love that .270 country, Ya can see way out there…A great video and education for the nephew ! Thanks Brett. 👍🏻🤠

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Off range hunts every month they draw so many .. yes those things are tough .. Thanks !

[@bellianamicrofarm9174]

Had no Idea there were gemsbok in New Mexico... Awesome

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yep transplanted .. Thanks

[@tominva4121]

Interesting topic to possibly cover is How to Preserve the Meat in such temperatures? I'm from VA and usually hunt in 0 degree to 40 degrees. Can't imagine doing it in 100 degrees. I have heard several complaints about Sambar deer meat from Florida being really poor due to the higher temps during hunting season. Personally the best meat I have ever had is Sika, but then I've never had Oryx.

[@dennisyoung4496]

Nice to have a young man to help you.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

It really was .. and he was good .. Thanks

[@Jlopez2207]

Got a flat too. While driving through new mexico last Friday just before you get to the Texas and New Mexico border near oro grande NM i saw two bi go ones

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes there are some down there .. kinda of a bad place to have a flat if you don't have a spare not much out there .. Thanks

[@rickbarnett6735]

Great video Brett! That’s a nice looking animal. It’ll make a great skull with the horns once the desert bleaches if a little.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes I went ahead and took this one to the taxidermist to have a shoulder mount done ... I like the way they look when they are mounted .. Thanks Rick

[@Partimepeasant]

They were transplant to N.Mex in 86 or 87 @ White Sands, would like to go back for a hunt.

[@garyd7217]

that heat makes for a really hard hunt - BUT YOU GOT HIM - GREAT JOB

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes we had to work for him .. I think the meat will be ok and I am going to have him mounted .. thanks Gary!

[@hillbillynick2000]

No hounds, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! Congratulations on getting one and good on you for sticking with it till you found him 👍

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Nick ... yeah it was a chore but I was sure he was going to die anyway ... didn't want to feed the coyotes and the buzzards and waste a tag

[@wallacerose7499]

All you need now is a hunter orange Hat band for safety! Game won’t notice other Hunters Will !

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol I will get one next time thanks

[@garden2tableproduce]

Wow good video I did not think you got him till the very end

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Lol me neither thanks

[@saddletramp1860]

Was it a young bull? Very good eating, sometimes when they're injured they can be very aggressive. Good job.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes young bull not sure how old ... I didn't give him much time to be aggressive .. I used my 30-30 to finish him off .. Thanks !

[@greggarner9193]

Good Job!!!!!😅

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks..

[@markluke8447]

Like that hat band , what size is that? Looks good with that hat.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Just a small leather band .. I cured a snake skin and gave it to a guy and he gave me this hat band .. Thanks

[@bluedog896]

Great video, Congrats, I don't know anything about those critters but looks like a nice one. You said the meat is good, so enjoy a steak for me

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I will ... I haven't ate any yet .. hope its good .. was sure hot when we got him out .. thanks Blue dog !

[@johngraham8893]

In the 1800's a ship load of these bok's were sent to Australia but the ship sunk on the way.If it had made it Australia would have 500 k+ of them like they do with wild camels,horses and donkeys

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thats something ... they are good to eat ... Thanks for the info and for watching the video

[@chuckmiller5763]

The Oryx are extinct in parts of Africa, thank hunters who brought them here and now have huntable populations with more than 15,000 in New Mexico alone. American hunters saved these animals.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes and I have them right out my back door .. good eating too .. thanks

[@bertsnyder8492]

That is a great hunt. I never thought about them being loose. Are they escaped from a hunting ranch?

[@BrettVaughnB100]

No they were brought here and released on the white sands missile range ... they really did good and started moving into adjacent land .. now they have these off range hunts .. They are good eating .. and the off range hunt can be pretty challenging .. Thanks Bert

[@3Bluetick]

I have found ballistic tip bullets will do a lot better job of downing the animal on poor hits. I use 150 or 165 in my "06.
