Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I was very nervous from reading horror stories about loosing Nilgai wounded. But I brought my 300 win mag and used Barnes TSX bullets and had absolutely no problem bringing mine down running away from me at 150ish yards. I put two more in for safe measure, but I think that one would have been...

Took my bull last week 300winmag. 3 shots, they are tuff!!

Looking for some advice. We have a dove hunting trim with Pointer Outfitters planned for August of this year. one of the girls in our party is giving birth in February, and thus wants to push it back until November to feel more comfortable leaving the baby behind to go on vacation. Does anyone...

Totally different vehicle than you guys, but my Z71 suburban has done pretty well. 2011 with 112k on it.

Truth on both accounts, but zero issues at all. Don’t loose sleep about it. And good luck on your hunt!

Thank you for all the helpful info. You guys have me even more excited for this hunt. What kind of boots/shoes do you recommend for there in Feb? I have my Obos hiking boots I wore in SA for my plains game hunt. I was leaning towards my light weight Lacrosse snake boots.

A good friend of mine shot one last year (with .300 Win Mag) and he brought over some steaks after. Pulled them at 115 degrees and lemme tell you, it was an excellent meal! He brought home over 200 pounds of meat off his bull if I remember correctly. Plenty to share! I will post after the hunt...

I used Nosler in 6.5PRC this year. If I take the .300 I will probably opt for Nosler. Thanks for the idea amigo.

Thanks to you both, great advice. 300 Win Mag is the biggest gun I have, but could borrow a buddies Sako in 375 if you think it would be wiser..... ?

Hi all! I just booked a Nilgai hunt in South Texas for Feb 2025. Probably bringing my Model 70 .300 win mag. Any thoughts or suggestions for this hunt? be it rifle, ammo, or advice? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I did the same route except out of DFW. zero problems going from American to BA with rifle. Just make sure you call AA and tell them about the rifle and they will reach out to BA. But definitely call and make all this clear to them and you should be in good shape! Good luck!!
