Headed to Texas on Saturday at 6pm from NC. Going down to Three Fingers Bowhunting for oryx, sika deer, hogs, and maybe something extra. I will be videoing the trip and hunt so I will have pics and videos up as the hunt progresses. Stay tuned.

1st Morning hunt recap... I met up with Ryan this morning and headed out to a box blind at the back of the ranch. It was still dark and Ryan loaded the feeder with some corn and put some on the ground as well. I settled in and got my bow and camera set up. After about 10 minutes hogs and some other animals could be seen by the moonlight at the feeder. Light grew and I notice a few fallow deer, a red stag, and several hogs at the feeder. I wanted to shoot a hog but it was so early in the morning I held out for a while. Several big fallow bucks came in along with some whitetail does. After about 20 more minutes I could not wait any longer a nice 60 lb. hog presented a clear shot and I sent an arrow on its way. The shot was perfect and was accented by the lumenok. An oryx that I was after came in 4 times but would not commit to the feeder because of all the other animals. Ryan met up with me and we trailed the hog about 25 yards to its final resting place. The video of the hunt and kill turned out great. I will post the video when I get home this Saturday. I will be going out this weekend with hopes of the big oryx or a big sika.

Got back out to the stand yesterday evening about 5:45. I went back to the same stand as the morning in hopes that the big oryx I had seen the morning before would come in. About 6:30 a large group of rams came in. There were several big rams in the group included 2 huge dalls and a great corsican. I let the rams pass in hopes of the oryx. About 7:00 a big oryx appeared in the field about 200 yards out. He fed safely out of range for the next 25 minutes. With the oryx out of sight I caught movement of a big sika buck coming across the field to join up with the fallow in front of me. He was huge. I turned on the camera and prepare for the shot. I sent the arrow on its way. At thrity yards the arrow entered perfectly behind the shoulder. The sika made it 70 yards and was stone dead in the field.  This is the hog I shot yesterday Morning.  Fallow deer from yesterday morning.  Oryx out about 200 yards  The Sika buck I shot yesterday evening.
