I talked to a guy from Texas who was paid to shoot Aoudad from planes. He claimed to have shot hundreds that way.
The Santa Rosa ranch down in Kenedy county was doing the same thing to Nilgai because of the tick fever. They were using choppers. I put down a young bull suspected of having tick fever this past season. He was a really sick fellow. Poor guy.
Nilgai took a pretty big hit in South Texas during last years hard freeze but still a very huntable population. They are not only on high fence ranches but since the majority of Texas is private property, you will still have to pay for most hunts. Our hunter's favorite meal is not beef ribeye night but nilgai and axis hamburger night.
