Nilgai Antelope Hunt — Adobe Lodge, South Texas

Nilgai antelope are the largest antelope in Asia — and South Texas holds the only free-range nilgai population in North America, descended from animals released from the King Ranch in the 1930s. Adobe Lodge, located in the lower Rio Grande Valley, offers some of the finest nilgai hunting available on 50,000+ acres of classic South Texas brush country.

Nilgai are notoriously tough — a mature bull can weigh 600+ pounds and requires precise bullet placement. Adobe Lodge guides have decades of experience pursuing these blue bulls through dense South Texas chaparral. Spot-and-stalk hunting from high-clearance trucks through senderos, followed by foot pursuits through thick brush, makes for an exciting and demanding hunt.

Combine your nilgai hunt with a South Texas whitetail deer package for the ultimate combo. Lodging at Adobe Lodge features private rooms, gourmet Texas cooking, and views over the South Texas plains. Year-round availability — no license required for nilgai in Texas.
