[QUOTE="KyFishrman, post: 7011, member: 1531"] A friend of mine in San Antonio has won a nilgai hunt next spring (I think) on the King Ranch in Texas. He's a whitetail hunter and has a .30-06. He's not a reloader and uses factory ammo on whitetail. He's asked me two questions: 1) What factory fodder would I recommend for nilgai. 2) The nilgai on this ranch inhabit flat, open plains, so the hunt will be from the ground, stalk-style, rather than from a treestand. My buddy hasn't done much offhand shooting from a standing position, so he's wondering about the advisability of shooting sticks. For what it's worth, I recommended any name-brand factory fodder that uses a 180 grain Nosler Partition as my first choice. I told him I was pretty sure someone on this board had actually hunted nilgai and could give first-hand suggestions. As for the shooting sticks, I think that's a superb idea, but with the brush in that area, he may need to carry a set long enough to shoot standing. Since this is a one-time hunt, he won't want to spend a ton of money on something like carbon-fiber shooting sticks, so can you guys suggest something that could be built inexpensively and still do the job? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
