Over the years I have killed and seen killed more than my share of Nilgai,they can be tough, but they are not bullet proof.they kind of remind me of a Gemsbok, except the Nilgai Bulls are bigger,they both have the same kind of fatty shield and black rubber skin.
We have never told our hunters what rifle to bring, it doesn't take a cannon to kill Nilgai, but using a good well placed bullet sure helps. We also don.t chase them with a pickup. that ain't huntin that's shootin. they do eat good. Rio7
