She was definitely above average. Guide said it was the second heaviest cow he had seen taken.
The species is considered the second largest antelope species on earth.

Nicely done. I have seen a few of them near Arryo City when we are out fishing, thought it was a cow at first and then my Uncle told me that was a Nilgai.
Do you go and pay to hunt?
No luckily I don't have to. I went to school with lots of people who manage ranches. I rarely take up the offer to hunt some places but this time I did to help some people get some meat. I actually only borough home around 5lbs of that cow. The rest went to some guys who needed the meat more than I do. Plus I have more opportunities to get nilgai meat later on in the year.
I need some. Take me and I'll kill my own!
Great work! Good man!
What did you shot it with? All,the websites say 300 or more? 300 win mag to bigger
Yes I did. Like Frank said, it was a 115 fusion from 185 yards. I was sitting in one spot watching trails and road crossings so I already knew my distances and was only hunting cows. If I would have even thought I had the chance at a mature bull then I would havebrought the 30.06. Or used the camp's 300WM.
Rick, I wish I could take anyone and everyone hunting but I am limited to only where I get invited.
Yup, everyone's afraid of a law suit now. Even here at my in laws place, I only invite my dad and my brothe. All hunters and guests sign a waiver as soon as they get to camp.
