We consider this
hunt to be one of the "absolute best"
Opportunities
available to take an 8" plus trophy Bull Nilgai!

With
access to literally many tens of thousands of acres of this deep South Texas ranch,
we consider this hunt to be one of the "absolute best" opportunities
available to take an 8"
plus trophy Bull Nilgai. Nilgai, a native antelope of India, were introduced to South Texas
in the early 1930's on the King Ranch. Their range has increased to
include the
counties of
Brooks, Cameron, Hidalgo, Kleberg, Kenedy and
Willacy, and is
steadily expanding into
surrounding areas as well.
Commonly called "Blue
bulls" due to color variations of the coat,
adult males will typically
field-dress from 450 to 500 pounds, with mature cows averaging 250-350
pounds
field-dressed.
With its straight black horns, broad shoulders, throat tuft and
elongated
face, the Nilgai makes a
stunning mount.While the bulls are good eating, there is no finer table
fare
than a cow Nilgai.

These
animals offer a challenge to any hunter as they are an extremely tough
and elusive
quarry.
Magnum scope-sighted
rifles in .300 caliber or greater are recommended,
as are
cartridges topped with heavy, premium
bullets.
We prefer to hunt Nilgai in the cooler months between September and
May, which
normally covers the "rut".
During this time of year there is usually less vegetation and less
chance of
hair slippage if mounting the animal.
This hunt
is exclusively “spot
and stalk”. Shooting from vehicles is
not allowed. Special arrangements
will
be made for mobility limited sportsmen.
Lodging is in
a clean and comfortable hunting
camp with excellent, home-cooked meals.
