What a great hunt! I went with two of my friends, one being 82 yrs old! We got 3 male nilgai, one female, and 3 hogs in two days. One gold and 2 high silver. Nilgai are very tough to put down even with a large cal., unless the shot placement is perfect. The meat is better than elk or moose and great for you. I would highly recommend this hunt, as it's loads of fun and the people are great. Call me if you need any info.
