[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1092943, member: 55230"] The hide is thick and tough around the neck. They are african so they're on the lion's menu, so a thick neck and thick neck hide helps when those pesky lions decide to bite. Maybe mine was too old for his own good, but aside from maybe a pig that was the worst. My dehydrated delirium probably didn't help much either. If you wound one be very careful around those horns! They have deadly precision w/ them. I was in Africa talking to my PH about them. He said if you were to spine one and they still had control of their neck/head and you throw a rock at them they can hit the rock w/ their horns. I talked to one guy who saw an oryx w/ a coyote in his horns. Sunscreen is probably a good idea. *** Also study their anatomy. African game's lungs are not like N.American game's. They are long and run mostly north and south, not east and west. [/QUOTE]
