Nilgai Antelope Hunt — South Texas

The nilgai is one of the most challenging and rewarding trophy animals in Texas — a massive Asian antelope that was introduced to the King Ranch and has thrived in the South Texas brush country for nearly a century. Bull nilgai can weigh over 600 pounds and are notoriously tough animals that demand precise shot placement and quality rifles.

South Texas nilgai hunting takes place in the classic brush country environment: mesquite, huisache, and prickly pear that these animals have adapted to perfectly. Hunt from comfortable blinds over water or conduct spot & stalk through the thick brush. Nilgai bulls in blue-gray coat are spectacular trophies. Year-round season with no license required.

This is one of the most unique hunting experiences in North America — a true African-caliber animal hunted in the Texas landscape. Our outfitters have exclusive access to thousands of acres of prime nilgai range with exceptional populations.
