[ Similar story. When in Texas last December on a work trip, Nilgai was one of the animals on the menu. I’d brought a 270 as my rifle for the week and I was told it wasn’t big enough. They wanted me to use a 300 Winchester Magnum
Darrik, that is a phenomena apparently unique to Texas. They are under the impression their game is Kevlar coated. I just got back from a pig hunt where nothing under a .243 was acceptable...so I took my .243...never saw a pig over 100 pounds, and ruined some meat on the tasty little ones. I usually like a .17 Rem. or a CF .22 of some sort for pigs and they never let me down.My one and only nilgai fell on the spot with a heart shot from a .30-06...which wasn't " big enough".
