re: Nilgai - have you hunted them in Texas?

So do you fall in the camp that Javelina are good eating, you just have to clean them correctly, ie ME crew.


Or the camp most I hear, they taste about like they smell.

I’ve never tried one. I haven’t killed one in years and when I did I used to give them away.

That’s why I’ve got like 15 to 25 per feeder.

My brother is approaching 20 years in the military.

Will definitely add nilgai hunt to the potential gift list (NM elk, Manitoba bear and Wyoming pronghorn are currently in consideration)

Is a 30-06 too small for a bull nilgai?

Sent. Thx

Hey man you can't come out of the woodwork after years of ghosting us and weasel your way into a Nilgai hunt.

Get in the back of line.

I’m a solid lurker these days. I see Rize in the most random places though.

Where do you see me at?

Haha I know the feeling. What a place to be!

I’ll be in L.A. In August and I’m not happy about it.

Take your time.

Yes. Tough critters. Excellent table fare

Is it me or do they always seem to be running? They are hands down the most skittish of the non-native game I have hunted. They are built really odd too. Like their front shoulder really comes up high protecting their center mass more so than other deer/antelope. I guess that is why everyone I know shoots Africa type rifles as them. Like you said, excellent grub. My favorite by far and the good thing is you get lots of it when you shoot one.
