Oryx Removal By Bosque del Apache NWR
Previously at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge oryx were managed by allowing access to hunters with an off-range oryx tag on the east side of the refuge during deer season. This control method has been found ineffective as oryx continue to spread across the refuge and was therefore discontinued. The Refuge will now control oryx through managed public depredation hunts in cooperation with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.
