Classification details:

You will not have a problem telling the steely blue bulls from the cows and young Nilgai, although judging trophy quality is exceptionally difficult. An average male will sport horns of more than eight inches long, and the base circumference will approach the length. A really great bull's horn will be anything over 8 inches long. Your guide is very knowledgeable and will help judge trophy quality.

Description

Hunters will hunt from a pickup truck and sneak to strategic locations to glass for Nilgai or visually spot them and move in for the kill. Depending on the game, time of year, and weather conditions, the hunting style will vary. For instance, we may start the day off with spot and stalk style. If the weather turns hot we may still-hunt a watering hole. The basics styles used are spot and stalk, safari style, blinds, and still hunting. You will find that seeing a bull is no problem, but judging horns, as well as getting a shot will be and they don't stand still for long! We have witnessed mature whitetail bucks standing for a second look, but the Nilgai on the far side of them has already vanished into the brush. These animals are just plain spooky! For someone new at hunting Nilgai, the hardest lesson to learn is that they're just plain tough. A mature bull weighs 750 to 1000 lbs plus and this bulk should not be taken lightly. They have inch-thick, elastic like, hide that covers their shoulders and the hide will slip over a bullet's entrance hole - Nilgai don't leave blood trails often. In addition, a Nilgai's first, last and in between reaction to receiving a bullet is flight. But after a challenging and successful hunt you'll have a beautiful mount for your wall, along with some of the best, if not the best meat around.
