USA: Nilgai Hunt - January 2025

[Mauser3000]

Royce suggested Brenda Baird for the Taxidermy, so that's where my bull is going. Says he really likes her work. Can't wait to see it.

El Campo is doing the processing. Older bull so I'm doing four kinds of sausage, including regular and jalapeño cheese smoked, pan and Italian Links which I hear are really good. Minimal steaks (from the backstraps, which are huge). Tenders whole, and the rest to hamburger w 10% fat added.

I also had El campo do my processing and Brenda did my mounts. She is about half the price of Hibblers for a wall pedestal and I can’t find any flaws in her work.

Super. Thanks for the info on Brenda, and thats a really nice Nilgai & mount! Edit: That’s Two nice Nilgai you have.

Your post in another Nilgai thread (in the hunts wanted forum) played a big part of me going with Lomas Chicas Outfitters (Sam Ilse). He owes you a beer!

FWIW, I sent Hibers two emails - both times requesting a price on a shoulder mount. They only sent their meat processing worksheet in reply to the first email and never responded to the second.

I’m glad you had such a good hunt. You will find Brenda is a great person to deal and very fast with communication and trophy shipping.
