[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 208428, member: 2736"] I would have to second Ian M's suggestion on the Nilgai because I have made one of these hunts on the B Bar B ranch and it was tough. There were no stands and it was a spot and stalk hunt. After spending several days walking looking for a good 'BLUE BULL' we spotted a good one at just over 800yards the trouble was that he had already spotted us and decided to bug out. So the next day we went to the same area and finally got a shot at just under 800yards By crawling up the side of a sand dune and staying prone while looking for him. we even pushed tumble weed in front of us as we got close to the top of the dune and stayed behind it to break our outline. These things can realy see good!!! When we finally spoted him we set up for the shot (We guessed 750+ and turned the 7mm STW lose with a 140 partition and then we saw him bow up and run about a 150yards before he went down. At the time my longest shot was 817 yards so this was near my limit. But the range was good and the shot was true and the bull was just over 11 inches (9" is considered very good). This was one of my best hunts and I am going to book another hunt now that I have extended my range and have moved up to a 338. This is truly a fair chase hunt and by no means easy ,the ranch we were on is just over 100 thousand acres and there were only 4 hunters on the ranch while we were there. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
