I just back from a Nilgai hunt in far South Texas. These are big tough animals to hunt, lots of fun and lots of great eating

First time I saw one of those in deep south Texas I was impressed with its size. Great job there. Estimates on its weight?

Lots of meat there. Never had any myself though. Congrats!!
 It's the time spent in God's creation with family and friends making memories that counts.

Seen one mounted in the sneak position like you would have a whitetail mounted. It looked pretty neat. Congratulations on your trophy

I was holding his head/neck up with my right hand. Just his head is amzingly heavy. I could only hold him for a few seconds at a time while we snapped as many pics as possible
I like the idea of a semi sneak or maybe the head turned to one side,
If anyone has any mount photos I would appreciate seeing them
Thanks

Great trophy, G. Was this the Sarita's pasture?
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
