[QUOTE="aaldape, post: 1093152, member: 65520"] Good advice about the horns, I don't think I'd just cowboy up to a laying oryx unless I was certain it was toast. Pretty crazy about the coyote! As for the hide, I'll just be sure to have those extra blades handy for the Havalon, sounds like I'll need 'em. Thanks for pointing out the anatomy, that might not be obvious. I had actually looked up a photo I found on this website showing the lung/heart/spine position, which will be very useful. One thing I was curious about was their general behavior. I know with deer and elk you get a lot more morning/evening activity, with the animals bedding down during the day. I have been successful hunting elk and deer, and so I just intended to work the mornings/evenings where there may be sign, water, draws, etc, and then do lots of hiking and glassing in the day. I just don't know what to expect in terms of their movement - do they tend to be habitual and return to familiar places (water, shade, hard to reach areas)? Or do they just roam like hell? You did imply that with so much pressure, a scouting trip doesn't necessarily provide a lot of use for later, aside from just getting familiar with the land... [/QUOTE]
