The regs also say this. Are there going to be any firearms hunts going on during 1/11-14?
"Notice: to archery hunters and recreational users: You must wear hunter orange during daylight hours at any time when firearm hunting for any species is authorized on the unit. Many units allow firearm hunting year-round for rabbits, and firearm hunts for squirrel and dove often are conducted concurrently with archery deer hunts." |

I'll be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Not able to take off of work for Thursday. First time hunting there. Are we allowed to park along the roads or do we need to park in the designated parking areas?

You can park off the roads as long as you do not disturb the flow of traffic. You should see tons of game, it was my first time there also and I saw upwards of 20 Deer and like 7 or 8 nilgai while I was there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks Jmsck12. Looks like rain on Friday, so I plan on using an old ground blind. Everyplace else I have hunted, I have used a tripod...so this might be interesting. I don't have experience in a ground blind, but would think the animals would spot it easily and be too scared by it. Will try it, though. How are the roads if it rains?

Roads are not bad when it rains, unless you have a car you’ll be fine. I sat on a folding chair in the rain and wind tucked into the brush and saw lots of animals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This. Have met different people that hunt popups in the 4 hunts I've been to Teniente over the years. None that I know of have harvested Nilgai. We see the most animals sitting well hidden under thick trees or behind cactus. Find you a thick area with trails. They know when it's hunting season and tend to stay away from open areas. Goodluck

My wife and I got drawn for January 11-14. Any help or tips are appreciated. How tall of a tripod is needed this year? I've read through some older posts and this one.

Do you suggest that because of bad experiences with local processors?
I normally processes everything myself, but I'm driving 2,000+ miles to do this hunt and would like to spend as much time as possible hunting. I plan on having to skin, quarter and debone anything I get down in the field. I was hoping there was a local processor I could pay to keep meat in a cold storage, or pay extra $$$ for expedited processing and have it frozen, instead of just having boned out quarters it in ice chests in the back of my truck for a week. |

I used Rudy's processing right there in Raymondville and had a good experience but it did take a while. Rudy seems like a nice guy, met me at his place on a Sunday morning after my son shot his Nilgai. Got a discount for paying with cash too when I picked up the meat. The jalapeno cheese sausage was really good.

If anyone drops a bull down there and wants a top of the line taxi service, check out R&N taxidermy in Raymondville. They are the ones right down the road from Teniente when your headed into town. They are mounting a second bull for my group as we speak. First one came out awesome. Price is very fair! Robert is a stand up guy and does incredible work!

What does Nilgai scat/dung look like and is there still Whitetail rut activity going on that far south this time of year?

Yes on WT rut as of last week. Piles are normally much larger as they use the same spot often

I got a way late start this morning but was able to find quite a bit of sign. Just trying to figure out which spot to sit this afternoon. The east end and middle sections were pretty full of hunters so I’m at the far northwest corner. I haven’t seen any nilgai yet but did see some does.

Had a doe walk right by me about 3 yards away then a big spike came by at 8 yards infront of me. I passed up on both in hopes of a bigger one, then I had a nice 8pt come with in 70 yards behind some trees walking away from me , I got my grunt call grunted at him a couple of times, got him to turn back and come closer about 54 yards but he never gave me a shot and started to circle me to get down wind from me then I never saw him again. Oh and I had like 30 turkey walk infront of me lol

All the info here was great helped a lot for my first time hunting here so thanks first all. This is my second time bow hunting or hunting period but it's been fun so far even without harvesting anything.
I was not able to come out yesterday but came in today so far it's been quite where I'm located only saw to coyote. Like around 11 I got off to go grab a bite in my car and sure enough 3 doe like 100 yard passed righr in front of me. I set up an extra pop blind I had close to where they passed as trail there looked frequently used so we'll see if that pays of tomorrow. This afternoon has been super slow and quite as well. Once I got back to where tripod is I went to walk and stalk for a bit to know the are more and found some good trail and then some that seemed old but maybe try does next year see if I get drawn again. Good luck to all out here is you need anything I'm around to help if I can. .... also first post here since I joined a while back lol |

Yes sir! It was gone just as quickly as it came! Woke up to light snow, bottom fell out, then it melted all before the sun went down. Craziest thing I've seen!

Well he’s bigger than I was told to expect there. He was super heavy , other than that it was a blur! He’s definitely a different caliber than I expected. I saw a few 8 points yesterday and today but they were nothing to this guy. Granted I would of shot any of them given the chance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I guess when I was there they were not around, I saw lots of doe’s but no bucks. With the rut in food swing right now down here I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw more even bigger bucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
