Drawn for Laguna Atascosa Archery Exotic

Your biggest enemy are the seed ticks out there. I've never had chiggers out there but the ticks can be horrendous.

I thought one year my legs were dirty so I didn't pay any attention to the brownish color. By the time I knew it, hundreds had crawled all over my body and I spent the next day with a fever and chills. Permethrin is a must have.

Thanks
I hunted there years ago but it was cold and ticks and chiggers weren't a concern...I was told when I was down a few weeks ago scouting that a few of the folks had gotten into chiggers real bad. I'll be prepared for that.

Thanks for sharing your sightingd. **** the luck though. 4 nilgai in bow range, what distance do you consider bow range?

I'm shooting out to 70yds.

i had one at 8 yds that i surprised in a really thick patch of brush, 2 at 30 yds and 1 at 50 yds..

the first day, nilgai were walking edges of fields and would have allowed close contact, but by second day, they went right down the middle of fields

Anyone else kill a nilgai?

Just curious if anyone else had any luck on the archery hunt? I was down there the weekend after Thanksgiving and was lucky enough to kill a bull. It was a really tough hunt and only a couple of nilgai were killed during my hunt.
