Previous years the 1st 2 hunts usually didn't last past a couple of days

I got my permit for hunt no. 3 and I am pumped. I am trying to virtually scout using the paper maps and Google Earth. A question for you veterans...the maps show a lot of roads going through the refuge, but are they open to motor vehicle traffic during the hunt? I don't know if I can drive on some of the smaller roads or have to hike or take a mountain bike.
Also, what kind of help, if any, can you expect if you shoot a nilgai and have to pack it out? I have shot one before and know what it takes to move one of those critters. I cannot imagine dragging it more than a few hundred feet by myself. Even loading it into a cart would be near impossible alone.
Thanks.

Cars/trucks only on the main road to go in. You have to hike/bike once off the main drive. You can use a cart and maybe ask another hunter for help if you drop something. If its a nilgai, you may have to quarter it before moving it out. You can call the hunt station (9563710773) to see if one of the USFWS guys can help you out.

Any one get drawn for Laguna Atascosa? First time hunting the area, I'd like to attempt to take a nilgai. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Drawn for Nov. 20-24.
