I Their mythical "toughness" reputation, just like other African plains game I've shot, was greatly exaggerated.
And no offense Johnny but no one can embellish a tough reputation like a Texan. You'd think all the critters in your state wore kevlar to listen to most guys...
Oh, and size is another thing..I'm the only person who hunts Texas that doesn't regularly shoot 450 pound pigs apparently, or kill elk that yield a clean 800 pounds of meat...
I couldn't agree more Tom. I've heard it all my life.
Johnny Im headed down in May to hunt Nilgai, which Ive been told are virtually bullet proof. Many guides, as you know, require at LEAST a .300 mag, some require more...a .338 or a .375
I shot my last one with a .30-06..DRT
And luckily my outfitter knows me and hasn't asked, cause Im using the .275 this time.
