Oryx (Gemsbok) Hunt

Kiowa Hunting Service offers hunts for free ranging Oryx (Gemsbok) on White Sands Missile Range and on the Armendaris Ranch. We are one of the few licensed Outfitters operating on the range and on the ranch.

Public Land: The White Sands Missile Range hunts are public land hunts and the licenses are allocated by drawing. There are numerous hunts to apply for beginning in August 2010 and run through March of 2011. These hunts are
all two day hunts and normally have over a 90% hunter success in most units. These hunts are once in a lifetime hunts.

Private Land: The Armendaris Ranch (358,643 acres) hunts are across the counter licenses and are conducted year round and for any five days that the hunter selects. The oryx herd is strictly managed so there is a wounding rule that applies on the ranch.

On both hunts Kiowa will furnish Albuquerque airport courtesy pickup if needed,
motel accommodations, meals, guide service and trophy preparation of the animal. The
hunter is responsible for the license and Habitat Management Access stamp and arriving in Albuquerque, New Mexico for airport pickup or meeting in a nearby town to the hunt.

If you have held a once in a lifetime permit on the Missile Range in the past, you
may apply for a broken horn Oryx permit on White Sands Missile Range or a population
reduction hunt. These restrictions do not apply to the Armendaris Ranch.
