I was able to hunt the East Ranch near Port Mansfield, Texas and harvest a nice nilgai bull with my Merkel 160 AE .500 NE at 85 yards and couldn' be happier, can't wait to knock down more animals in Africa this July. This was my first animal with a double and it's awesome! My son was able to get a nice bull with a 30-378 Weatherby. Pics and videos attached, both bulls were rutting and came in for a closer look when we stalked in.

Trey I’m pretty envious as I love both nilgai hunting and hunting the east ranch , using your double was awesome to watch on your instagram ! bowled him right over too !
Congrats
 
I would also love to see some pics posted. I don't have a Facebook account and links not working for me either.

(I just hit the "Attach files" button, then click on the picture I want to add when posting a reply.)

here's one
 
Congratulations on a fine nilgai! I've said this before, but hunting nilgai in South Texas is as close as it gets to an African PG hunt. Hunting with a double, even more so.

To post videos, you need to create your own YouTube channel. It's free and relatively easy. Upload the videos from your phone to the Youtube channel and then post the link here on AH.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
