Yeah, those have their place too. But on the relatively flat desert terrain, a good game hauler should work better. Besides, in this situation I wanted the whole critter so I could take my time skinning and caping for a nice rug. Oryx have beautiful hides, especially the faces, and a rug really does them justice.
I've packed plenty, and though I don't mind it when necessary, I don't take it on willingly. In a sec I'll post up a picture of the critter and you'll see why. They're darn near as big as elk, which means several trips...
