SOUTH TEXAS NILGAI “BULL”
HUNT...for 1 HUNTER and 1
NON-HUNTER

$2200 Min Value: $ 6250

This is a 2-Day Hunt for 1-Hunter and 1 x Nilgai Bull on a Private Ranch outside of Raymondville, TX. The
Nilgai Antelope, or Blue Bull, was introduced to the King Ranch back in the late 1920’s. They adapted so
well to the Coastal Plains of South Texas that they can now be found anywhere from just south of Corpus
Christi, all the way down to the tip of Texas...as there are few fences that can keep an animal of this stature
within its borders. Currently there are more Free Ranging Nilgai in Texas, than in their native home of
India!!!

At close to 700 pounds of thick hide, dense muscle and heavy bone, it takes no less than a .300 Win
Mag to bring down a mature Blue Bull, but seldom with only 1 shot. Many hunt them with guns more
commonly used when hunting Cape Buffalo, Lion, Hippo and Elephant. Shoot them square in the
shoulder to break the bone, then shoot them again in the vitals, and don’t stop until your Guide tells you
to. FYI...Winchester Arms ranks the Nilgai as the 2 Toughest animal to kill...behind the Cape
nd
Buffalo!!!

Once down...the Devil Horned Nilgai, and challenge of hunting such a tough animal, will be trumped by the
quality of its Venison, as it is some of The Best Venison that you will ever eat...so come prepared with
plenty of jumbo ice chests because it’s not uncommon to take home 250 – 350 pounds.

Adam Batot, owner of Double Shot Outfitters, has included Lodging and Meals in your package. In the
evenings around the campfire, or after the Hunt, visit with him about some of the other Hunting
Adventures here in Texas, and around the world, that they can guide you to.

Additional Hunters may be added at Regular Price for Nilgai Bull or Cow, and Non‐Hunters at $150.

Your Hunt MUST take place between March and September of 2023 or 2024...and Excludes a Valid Texas
General Hunting License; Firearms & Ammo; Travel to/from the ranch; Alcohol; and TIPS!!!
