King Ranch

[RB II]

Judge pistol with 410 bird shot from 6-8' away is VERY effective at dispatching them.

22 if I have one or shovel
Ranchers where I shoot want them dead

How do you kill them ?

Bite the head OFF!!!!

If I have time to draw a pistol or whack them with a shovel. I certainly have time to walk away.

 

[RB II]

Yeah but if one is this close to the side porch, he can't stay around.
That snake was on the ground at the toe of my boot.

The way I look at it a good snake is a dead snake JS

Shovel! If they aren't rattling, they're a cobra!

Nilgais and cobras, just like in India but in South Texas

Can you mount a rattle snake? King ranch sounds like a 1 day hunt.. We'll see,,,,

I'm debating between a Bull or Cow. The trophy bulls don't look like much. No one in my home town ever heard of a Nilgai before. . or even know what they look like. I'm sure the cows will taste better.

If a meat hunt is the plan, go cows 100% and save $

You can try and mount one, if you like. But I'd shoot him, before hand!

Oh wait.....

They are pretty impressive animals. Not huge horns but beautiful blue coat and "beard"!
If you are going to spend the time and money to hunt the KR, take home a trophy!!

2 flights, 2 5hr drives. hotels. shipping meat home $$. Definitely a trophy. But I normally hunt for food. well... at least that's how it started out : ))
