Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Nilgai, How much gun is enough?

I know many of the remarks here are tongue and cheek but to answer the question about why the large caliber recommendation/requirements by many landowners who hunt Nilgai, it's mostly do to poor shot placement. Hell yea a .243 will kill a Nilgai bull if the shots well placed but it's nowhere near the most effective tool for the job. Tracking wounded game in South Texas is a brutal task that should be avoided any way you can! OBTW if someone puts this hunt together I'd sure like to participate! I'll bring my .223
