They are even hard to hunt when you cheat, lol( night nine with thermal) but a shit ton of fun to put the stalk on them.Used to work for a company that had a deer lease where there were lots of Nilgai. One of our customers shot one and the camp cook cut out some steaks for us to try. Excellent meat!! Those critters are hard to hunt. They have excellent eyesight.
At least we know who ronald McDonald is under the makeup.A monster cow. Thermal hunting at night. Guy I was hunting with got his bull last night. Running out of time I saw this huge cow ( 400 lbs ish) and took the shot. She took zero steps and went down hard.
I am stoked !

I glad to hear someone else likes to walk & stalk. Eland are very smart and wise to the ways of stalkers.They are even hard to hunt when you cheat, lol( night nine with thermal) but a shit ton of fun to put the stalk on them.
I will do this again.
Just got done getting one of the two ready for the grinder. The other may wait until tomorrowCongratulations!
I've always wanted to hunt Nilgai.
I did take a gemsbok about 18 yrs ago. It was excellent meat and I processed it all myself! Wore me out!
I bet he feeding his turtles with it.Let us know how they taste. I’d like to do that hunt. Saw an episode of Meateater where they hunted them.
What are you doing with the head?
