Precoooling the cooler makes a world of difference. That and the Nilgai meat was already cold from their walk in at King Ranch. My buddy and I did that on our Nilgai hunt and once we iced up before leaving, the cooler was in the trailer in 90 degree heat through Texas, Louisiana, and some of...

That’s great! I have a Tacoma with a 6ft bed and it should fit perfect. I’ll probably need to take my tri fold hard tonneau cover off though for transport haha.

Hi all, I just placed a preorder on the newly released Grizzly Coolers 450 quart model. I was looking at their 400 quart cooler after my Nilgai hunt last year, my buddy and I borrowed a homemade cooler for elk hunts. We contemplated building our own, but I stumbled across this company. This size...

That’s all really good info, I am going to seal them myself. I’ll be going on a pig hunt in June, so I will see how many hogs I can take, I might be able to make something similar to the picture you posted @Bearskinner !

Very interesting and good info, thank you very much. I wouldn’t have guessed about the warping and splitting. I’ve got a block of paraffin wax for my bullet casting needs to I will definitely fill them in the meantime. I wasn’t sure if they could be clear coated with some type of epoxy for...

Hi all, I have a bit of an odd question and would like everyone’s thoughts/opinions. On a recent Nilgai hunt, I took a very nice boar that I’m having euro mounted. In the course of that hunt, I found and collected a sun bleached boar skull with an impressive set of lower tusks. My question is...

Thank you!

I can’t recommend them highly enough, it was a phenomenal hunt. Jimmy DeLoache was our guide, I can’t recommend him highly enough either. He worked his a** off for us. Very accommodating and knew his biology and behavior habits of all the animals we encountered.

I just cooked up a couple of the steaks, rare. Oh my goodness, I see what everyone is talking about. Zero gamey-ness! It cuts, chews, and tastes just like beef!

Thank you!!! That is fantastic! I sure wish I lived closer, they would be getting even more business from me . I want to say Aoudad is next on the list, but it will be hard not to go back for Nilgai!!

Same here, I hope to get to Africa one day, but this was a fantastic opportunity in the mean time. I am definitely hooked.

Thank you! It was an awesome experience, I plan on going back as soon as possible! I’m glad too, they definitely made us earn the trophy, which is exactly what I had hoped for!

You’re welcome, thank you for the support! I’m really excited to taste it, I am going to try to grill up a couple of the steaks tonight. You are definitely right on the diet, our deer up here can be pretty gamey depending on the area.

You’re welcome! They are very interesting animals, I was amazed by all the info I learned from our guide about them.

I’ll take them!
