Agreed. What's even funnier to me is a guy like Hud describes, camo'd to the hilt, sitting in a fully enclosed blind, with a freaking ozonics machine running. People will believe anything apparently. I'm not much on camo, but I'm not a bowhunter either.

Obviously that mule deer thought it was molasses range cube cake day.





OP https://hendershots.net/product/264-winchester-magnum/ loads a variety of ammo for 264wm.

I’m sure Dallasreloads does too.

Best part of camo is when you get blood on it, its not nearly as noticeable.

I like drab solid colors but since I bow hunt, I do wear camo

Its not necessary for a rifle hunt imo, damn sure not needed when sitting in a box blind.

Always laugh at this too. The older you get, the less you are camo obsessed. I used to love when I got the Cabela's Fall hunting Catalog (thing of the past). New camo pattern every year. I was and I'm still an Allday sucker. BUT, I'll be rocking my Carhart Cargos a Cowboys Salute To Service Hoodie.

Nice buck!.

As mentioned the guides don't like the muzzle break. Why is that? Not trying to hijack the thread.

Probably because it's a quick and efficient way to blow their eardrums out. I hate the darn things.

Exactly. They're trying to watch, through binos, where you hit the thing and give you follow up instructions. Your fine China shoulder shouldn't be the priority at the moment.

Thanks, that does make sense. Having hearing problem, no sense making it worse.

If I were a guide, I would be wearing the best hearing protection available. Plenty of electronic models out there that wouldn’t interfere with normal hearing until necessary.

Good day , this is Cody Taylor with (Double Shot Outfitters). Wanting to see if you’re interested in a free range trophy Nilgai hunt . This hunt is a spot and stalk safari style.

Thanks ,

Judd and my hunt 30 Nosler and 338 Lapua Not a step was taken after broadside shots front shoulder.

I'm wondering if you can stalk under 100 yards and use a double rifle?
I would like to use my 375 H&H Merkel double.

Yes, but not easy. Tried to do the same thing on foot one day all day last fall with my 45-70 and could not get it done. I will eventually.

Posted this pic here before. This is one that my son took years ago with a .300 blackout. As mentioned before, it’s all about shot placement and bullet choice. I have taken about 10 Nilgai over the years all with my 30.06. Neck shots and shoulder shots both. Any of the calibers you mentioned will work. The family that we hunted with were really big into the .257 weatherby for Nilgai.

Super cool photo!

No reason why you couldn't!

I did it with a Chapuis 9.3x74R...

Remove the Rolex? Gotta keep track of the kill time!

Nice.

How far was the shot?

I don't have a scope on mine, just a trijicon.

70ish yards.

That Trijicon should be fine!

Snake Boots, Read Judds comments I was the guy with the 338 Lapua. I also had a 300 PRC with me but opted for the big stick. Spent countless hours at the range getting ready. You need to be ready to shoot off sticks not prone. Guide told us about 1/3 animals shot incorrectly were not recovered. Take the bigger caliber no doubt with a bonded bullet.

.416 good?
