For those of you who aren’t familiar with Nilgai they are originally from India and are one of the worlds largest antelope ( smaller than an Eland but still a large animal).
They have a legendary reputation as being tough and they certainly are, though are quite mortal with a well placed bullet of premium quality and appropriate caliber.
Their nick name is “blue bull” due to their coloration when mature. They can vary in color from red to almost a purple appearance.
They are very challenging to hunt and like thick cover. Hunts are done spot and stalk commonly.
During the rut males will literally fight to the death in some instances. They square off and go down to there front knees where they repeatedly slam into each other’s necks and vital areas in a stabbing motion with their horns.
They are not considered dangerous game by any means but can be very violent if cornered or wounded. (Kinda like a sable).
Another unique feature is the “beard” they get under the throat patch similar to a turkey.
How many acres on the ranch where the nilgai are hunted?

The ranch is 2250 acres of which 1/3 or so is high fenced. The country is extremely rough terrain with thick brush and Canyons. It will be a very physical and challenging hunt. No doubt.

Thank you sir and I hope we get the opportunity to hunt together.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
