Is there a time of year that New Mexico Oryx hide (hair quality) would not be suitable to get a shoulder mount made from it? I understand they breed year round so there life cycle is not the same as other game animals in North America. Still is there a time of year they shed or not?

Any one have experience taken one in May/April? Thanks

Nope, always the same. Although in the hotter months getting the meat and hide cool quick can be a challenge.

Daughter shot this one in late May last year (2017). Zoomed in on the "hide" so you can see it better.

These two Oryx were shot off range in late May.
