Anyone hunting nilgai at Teniente next month ?

Was wondering if anyone will be hunting the Teniente tract in south Texas next month for nilgai? . I was drawn for the Feb 18 they 21 nilgai rifle hunt. Will be my first time down there and hoping to meet some people on the hunt in case anyone shoots one of the beasts we can help each other getting it out. I'll be bringing a game cart and anyone will be welcome to use it. Also any help from anyone who has hunted it before will be greatly appreciated.

Good Luck, I will be down there Feb 25-28. Leave a few for me!

Ill do a recap and will answer any questions hunt. You. May have. Wish I could find some 30_06 180 grain bullets .not sure 150s are gonna be enough . Got a box and a half of Hornady .270 for trade for the,180s if anyone has them. Second choice would 7mms mauser in 180 grain

I will definitely take you up on that offer to answer questions. Best of luck finding cartridges, all of a sudden they got scarce.

Where are you located? I may be able to help you with the 06 180's.

I was drawn for the 2/4 to 2/7 hunt. Never hunted there before so this is a new one for me.

I'm in Buda outside Austin. I drive through Mason when I go to our ranch May be heading that way in a couple weeks.. If you have some 180s just pm me and I'll get with you when I head that way. Will pay or trade. Appreciate the offer .

Depends what 150 grain bullets they are. If they are ttsx or similar then your good..but it really doesn't take a 338 to drop them. If you get a shot it will probably be under 150yards. My buddy dropped a mature bull with a 270 last week. Bit it was 50 yards broadside right in the shoulder. he was laying there bellowing and he put one more in his neck.We border the the east side of tiniete hunting zone. Wish i could help you with the ammo bit all i have In 30 cal is WSM and 30-30. Don't walk around too much or you'll just spook them to us.

Any luck on your hunt Bownhead?

Sorry , no update . Didn't get to go because of the polar vortex. Didn't have power or water fully until Friday and wasn't gonna leave my wife alone to deal with it, so passed on the hunt. It sucks cause I gave up 9 points for the hunt, and couldn't get my hotel refunded . . Oh well maybe next year . Good luck on your hunt .

Sorry to hear that, and thank you.

That sucks. You should call tpwd and see if you can get your points reinstated due to it being something like the second coldest week in Texas recorded history. Worst they could say is no. Feel for you. I cancelled a camping/hunting road trip for the same reason, but I did not have points and hotel money to lose.

Which drawing is this? Is this part of the regular drawn hunts?

It is under National Wildlife Refuge Exotic
