[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1974086, member: 107749"] I also grew up on and around King Ranch. The place is crawling with them. Anywhere near Falfurrious, Kingsville on up to Three Rivers is great. The Sarrita and Borregos lease used to be so thick with them they wouldn't put horses out there. Blues will kill horses in the rut. The best areas for Nilgai are what I'd call coastal, from the water to a hundred miles inland. All in southern Texas. They are one tough animal. I've seen them take .375 H&H in the boiler and still run. This is thick brush country, you dont want to have to follow up far. Bring snake proof boots, there are plenty of rattlers down there too, and thick pants. Every bush and tree has thorns. Ask about Javelina and hogs too. Javelina used to be on the 3 day non-res varmint small game tag down there. Lots of the them in South Texas too. The best, biggest free range Aoudad are way west out near the Davis Mountains about 16 hours drive I think. Don't be fooled, these are real mountains and are a real hunt that will bleed you. They can be found almost anywhere in the state though. The bigger the ranch generally speaking will be the better hunt. Plenty of people have a few running around on 100 acres. No fun. I'd look for 5000 acres or more. Avoid anywhere within a hundred miles of Austin. [/QUOTE]
