Oryx -- long term (?) strategy

We just finished up an off range for Nov that my wife had.

It has definitely changed over the past 20 years or so we've been doing it. The addition of tags over the last 2 years has had an impact, not from an increased "tag filling" standpoint but from a hunting pressure standpoint. Also add in that people can't keep their mouths shut on public media platforms like Facebook and Instagram on where to go.

We had our chances, one successful stalk but missed opportunity when it moved in behind some brush and disappeared into a low spot, shot and a miss on another successful stalk, miss via road hunting from point A to point B, messed up opportunity from some jokers in an SUV, and finally a hit and loss.

We hunted a total of 11 days off and on. The final being 5 days straight during Thanksgiving week.

I agree with the statement about dedicating a week and hunting hard like you would anything else.

@justin davis - the better months off range I've hunted have been Jan, Feb, March.
