The Nilgai, or Blue Indian Antelope, has proliferated in South Texas. Fortunately not overrun with these animals, the Mariposa Ranch has healthy herds that roam freely. Extremely elusive and weighing up to 700 pounds, the Nilgai is not only difficult to hunt, but even tougher to bring down. A magnum caliber rifle and a well placed shot are essential.

Nilgai is a unique and delicious meat. We typically hear from hunters that the only meat better that they’ve tasted has come from the Elon animal directly from Africa. We will gladly give you culinary suggestions on how to prepare the meat when you successfully leave the ranch.

These are 1/2 day hunts. Please contact us for more information.
