I think you are refering to the scimitar horned oryx, but I don't think one can yet claim that reintroduction into original areas is a success. Here's the wikepedia version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar_Oryx _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

The re-introduction you speak of was the Black Buck Antelope. Several Ranches in Texas got together and put together a herd of Black buck of about fifty does, and ten bucks, all from different ranchs so the gene pool would be deversified, and donated them to INDIA to rebuild there population which had been completely, or near so, wiped out. When you consider a good Black Buck is worth about $2000 US per head, that was quite a donation I'd say! Even today, there are more simitar horned Oryx in Texas than any other place in the world, including north Africa, their origenal home. Still the black buck is far more populated in Texas than in India. People, you can cuss the high fenced ranches all you want, but untill you do something to conserve an endanered species, remain quite!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Bontebok. At one time there were only 17 left. Seven were shipped to a friend of mine on the Eastern Cape. Two died enroute. So out of 4 ewe's and one ram, they helped propagate the species. Now they number in the thousands just in RSA alone. Zoo's, parks and other wildlife areas have introduced them. IMHO they rank at the top of the epicure's table fare.

Who owned the 17? Were any wild? When did this happen? are any wild now? | |||

If it were only exotics and endangered game behind the high fences I don't think there would be as many complaints....but that's just one opinion. The Bontebuck, Black Wildebeest, Scimitar Horned Oryx and Blackbuck have been quite the sucess story. With out hunting and high fencing we not be hunting these fine animals today. | |||

White and Black Rhino as well. | |||

Not only would we not be hunting them, they probably wouldn't exist at all outside zoos. An old man sleeps with his conscience, a young man sleeps with his dreams. | |||

The only huntable populations, if even surviving populations, of addax are on game farms in the U.S.... Would be nice to hunt those in their native environment someday. | |||

I would think that there are more Arabian Oryx on Texas game farms than in their native land, probably more addax too. Scimatar Horn Oryx are now quite common in Texas, same goes for black buck. There are probably more tigers in cages in the back yard in the US than all of India. | |||

Addax still exist in the Termit Massif and Tin Toumma area of Niger, but that population is at best a few hundred animals http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/512 Andy | |||

Pere David Deer are thought to be extinct in the wild in their homerange (China), but there are thousands in Texas. FYI.....they are not the most intelligent and wiley animal on the planet, that is for sure. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | |||

There are about 20 HUGE scimtar horned oryx on my west fenceline. The high fenced place next door has them. They are a beautiful animal and deserve to be preserved. j | |||
