The nilgi is one of those trophies where an 1/4" can make a difference in score which is why I will always say that the two bulls David took in the above photos are exceptional.
Especially the first one... As with any animal bullet placement is paramount with the nilgi. My bull took a 50 caliber 400gr Woodliegh JFP square in the boiler room, jumped straight up, and ran 100 yards and lay down. Took a few more 400 grainers before he gave it up. "Tough dog".... It would be interesting to see if any of the other members have also taken a nilgi and what was their experience...The bottom photo shows the 500WE, loaded rounds and recovered bullets...
