Congrats Ponyboy. I recognize you, as I was parked right beside you in the white F150. I felt bad, your boy waited on me at the jon as the pre-hunt excitement got to me

Friday was jam packed with action. I encountered 3 different groups, passing on a 30” ish bull, and seeing two absolute giants. Saturday was a different story. Saw two bulls early and made a play on them with no luck. Spent the rest of the day driving and glassing without seeing a single oryx. Around 2 I decided to park and walk some ridges. Climbing the last ridge I look over and see this bull standing there. A long shot off shooting sticks hit him hard. He made it down into the bottom and expired. Incredible experience! He’s not a giant at 34”, but considering how the day was going I didn’t study him too long. I was a little over a mile from the truck. By the time my brother and I got him quartered up and packed out, I knew it was going to be a race to get checked out on time. Made it to check in with 4 minutes to spare! Tank of a bull that’s going to look good on the wall! Had some fresh steaks cut from the back straps Friday, and the meat is just as good as everyone hyped it up to be!
