Good job, Roger! I'm jealous! Let us know how the steaks eat...

Yep Roger, nice job! Now, I'm going to surf over to a educational site and learn to say what it is that you have kilt..

.i got set up and watched him wade across when he was about 75-80 yrds slightly quartering away, he stop and looked my way so i let him have it on the point of the shoulder. My gosh what a great story. Anyhow Rog, here's my latest acquisition, .54 caliber. Its good for 75-80 yards easy. You're welcome to borrow it any time.

Wow, there's a problem I haven't had. If you can't give enough away, and have the time to stop by that meat processor place we used for the pigs, I'll send you a check to have 20-30 lbs. of sausage made, plus shipping of course. Just trying to help out!

When I was passing through Raymondville there was a pick-up with three gutted nilgai in the back in the drive through at Wendy's in a long line. Problem was it was 101* and those boys seemed to be in no hurry to get to the cooler. Think I'll pass on those three.

Yeah, it's close to the Whattaburger but on the other side of the highway from Mickey D's.

Congratulations! Your account of the hunt was good reading and the pictures added to it. I have never eaten nilgai but have always been told it was excellent table fare.
