5-Day New Mexico Oryx Hunt (Draw Tag)

Experience one of the most unique big-game opportunities in the Southwest on a fully guided New Mexico oryx hunt with LOH Outfitters. Also known as gemsbok, oryx are striking animals that can weigh nearly 500 pounds, with both males and females carrying long, straight horns commonly measuring 30–40 inches.

Oryx have established strong populations across the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, particularly around White Sands Missile Range and the surrounding country. The wide-open desert creates a completely different hunting experience from traditional elk or deer hunting.

These hunts are conducted primarily spot-and-stalk, with hunters and guides spending significant time behind the glass locating and evaluating animals before developing a stalk. Oryx have exceptional eyesight and are extremely wary, making closing the distance part of the challenge.

Hunters should come prepared to walk approximately 1–4 miles across sandy desert terrain. The openness of the country can also create longer shooting opportunities, with shots potentially ranging from approximately 250–600 yards. Quality optics, good physical preparation, and confidence with your rifle at extended distances are strongly recommended.

LOH offers both one-on-one and two-on-one guided options, allowing hunters to choose between a completely personalized hunt or sharing the experience with another hunter.

IMPORTANT: This is a draw hunt and is exclusively available to hunters who successfully draw the applicable New Mexico hunting tag.

New Mexico offers a dedicated Outfitter Draw Pool for hunters applying with a registered outfitter. When you apply through LOH Outfitters, your application is entered into this separate pool, which can provide better draw odds than the standard nonresident draw for many hunts. LOH can help guide you through the application process and make sure everything is submitted correctly.
