RE: Hunting Nilgai in South Texas
Nilgai are more common in South Texas than they are in India.
I think the King Ranch released them back in the 40's and they have spread around everywhere.
They are grazers rather than browsers so they directly compete with cattle. Lots of ranches are trying to get rid of them. Some shoot hundreds out of helicopters.
They are an amazing game animal. They arewary and have great eyesight. Killing one with a bow is quite an accomplishment.
Bring a bigger gun if you have it.
Like the guy selling the hunt said before, high fenced areas down there are LESS, not more likely to have Nilgai on them.
