    USA: Nilgai Hunt

    My Nilgai meat has been absolutely fantastic and I got it about 3 months after. I’ve never received an animal any faster than 3 weeks and usually it’s 4-5 weeks for a basic venison order.

    Many cheap hunts vs only one very expensive premium hunt in a lifetime

    My first hunt in SA was a simple PG hunt. I had a blast of a time. I was lucky enough to have been taken on a 3 week photo safari during college by my grandparents in Kenya and Tanzania. My next hunt will probably be a cull hunt because I do not have the room in our house for more mounts and I...

    Why you dont want to hunt elephant..?

    Why is this? I’m considering one on my next hunt. And would you bring one back as a trophy? Is it as challenging a hunt as a bull? Or more so? Thanks!

    Texas Nilgai - Rifle choices

    I was very nervous from reading horror stories about loosing Nilgai wounded. But I brought my 300 win mag and used Barnes TSX bullets and had absolutely no problem bringing mine down running away from me at 150ish yards. I put two more in for safe measure, but I think that one would have been...

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    Thank you for all the helpful info. You guys have me even more excited for this hunt. What kind of boots/shoes do you recommend for there in Feb? I have my Obos hiking boots I wore in SA for my plains game hunt. I was leaning towards my light weight Lacrosse snake boots.

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    A good friend of mine shot one last year (with .300 Win Mag) and he brought over some steaks after. Pulled them at 115 degrees and lemme tell you, it was an excellent meal! He brought home over 200 pounds of meat off his bull if I remember correctly. Plenty to share! I will post after the hunt...

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    Thanks to you both, great advice. 300 Win Mag is the biggest gun I have, but could borrow a buddies Sako in 375 if you think it would be wiser..... ?

    Airfare rates

    I did the same route except out of DFW. zero problems going from American to BA with rifle. Just make sure you call AA and tell them about the rifle and they will reach out to BA. But definitely call and make all this clear to them and you should be in good shape! Good luck!!
