It’s may not be a trophy Oryx to some but it’s a giant to me.

He’ll make a pretty mount. It’s the memory that counts. Congratulations.

Let us know how the meat is. I've shot three scimitar-horned oryx but the meat from the last one was so tough and chewy (no matter how I prepared it), I threw it out.

A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

I didn't overcook it. It was tough and chewy, even at rare.

I figure I will be grilling most of the time, I'm looking forward to seeing how it taste.

Congrats on your bull. He's one to be proud of. Mine tasted so-so as well. The flavor was fine, just tough. If he's tough, just have him ground with 20% brisket and all will be right in the world.
