A bud and I want to hunt them in 2020. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to ranches which offer guided 1 or 2 day hunts. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

The King ranch is where it all started. The Norias unit has a lot of them. There are some public hunts available but it can be tough especially after you get one down.

DoubleShot Outfitters, Pierce Trophy Hunts, Wildlife Systems, Lomas Chicas. There's a bunch of good outfitters down there. I talked to the King last year about booking a group and they had went up on pricing. They are still a good deal for a day hunt.

Yturria out of Raymondville? Is where I took two of them years ago. A bit more affordable pricing and good hunts and good quality if that matters to you.
I know a gal that guides on the King, at least used to, I can check with her too if she still does and costs. PM if interested.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Lurking here if I may. Son and I are a bit interested. Be Well, Rusty.

Where ever you decide, hotsoup, wishing you a great and successful hunt!! I’m headed back down to family friends ranch in Kenedy county in a couple of weeks. Doubt I’ll hunt much. But good to get away. Be sure and keepnus posted of your results.

They are big! What are you going to hunt them with? Anything other than a Creedmoor would be inhumane. God, please forgive me. Sometimes I can't help myself.

To get your blood pumping, last November I saw just as many big bulls on the place as I did deer! And it’s a small place. Good luck!

A college buddy of mine owned a ranch just south of Raymondville and he hated the Nilgai for eating the grass his cattle needed. He shot them and ran over them with his big ranch truck. He always invited me to come shoot all I wanted, but it was a long drive, so I shoot mine near San Antonio at the AOA Ranch at Hondo. This was taken for table meat recently.
