IN THEIR ANCESTRAL AMERICAN HOME (SOUTH TEXAS COASTAL BRUSH COUNTRY) FREE RANGE NILGAI ARE WILDER THAN HELL, AND HAVE AN ALMOST MYTHICAL REPUTATION FOR TOUGHNESS. SOME OF THE RANCHES DO NOT ALLOW HANDGUN HUNTING AND SOME HAVE CALIBER MINIMUMS. THESE NILGAI ARE QUITE THE GAME ANIMAL. I HAVE KILLED 2 YOUNGER BULLS WITH HANDGUNS, 1 WITH A 375 JDJ AND ONE WITH A FA MODEL 83 USING 454 EQUIVALENT 45 COLT LOADS. I HAVE NEVER KILLED A BIG ONE. A BIG BULL NILGAI WILL GO 700 PLUS lbs.
"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
