Nilgai Hunt 2022

[MtnMike]

Going after my first Nilgai in about 6 weeks on the Kenedy Ranch(low fence) near Sarita, Texas. This is my first rodeo with Nilgai and I have read every article and watched any and all videos that I can find looking for tips. Rifle is sighted in and I am confident up to 300 yds. Shot placement is critical, either a head or neck shot is preferred or try to break down the Shoulder joints seems to be recommended. It will be spot and stalk with a Ranch Guide. I know they are tough to bring down. Any advice will be appreciated!

You will have a blast! i think you have it covered, i'd say snake boots and solid shooting sticks.

Yeah I used to work on the Kennedy, spray some permethrin on your pants legs the night before !!! And take some bug repellent for the mosquito

Tagged, I'm wanting to do this hunt next year, I'm going for Aoudad in two weeks. What outfitter are you using?

Terrible table fair, I’ll take it off your hands for you.

Have a ball!! It’s so fun!

I shot mine from a side profile right under the eye. Aimed for a spot that looked like the cheekbone with a 300 ultra at about 250-300 yds. He fell drt.


However, I was really surprised that the 210 grain bullet didn't cause as much havoc as I would have expected. No bugged eyes, no mushy head, just a pencil hole entrance and no exit. Even their heads are tough.

I have taken 2 bulls and 1 cow off the Kennedy ranch, hunted there for many years. My word of advice is making sure you're packing a good bullet and rifle. These are extremely tough animals with very keen eyesight. I took this bull in the shoulder and he dropped on spot. My others were a quartering heart shot and a lung shot, both of those ran off but not very far. I shoot a .30-.378 Weatherby Mag.

Chiggers are a b**ch down there, definetly use some permerthrin.

One my favorite places to hunt in Texas, I miss that place.

I imagine it's just as bad as hard as trying to put down an old bull

Hes a good dude, met him a few times. You're in good hands, my good friend had his deer camp next to his establishment. Those pictures were taken on the same property he guides on.

Bath in flea and tick shampoo after the hunt. Follow the guides tracks when stalking. Reload as fast you can after the first shot.
