    Hunters don't kill near enough to help.

      Yup. Laguna has been hunted for the past who knows how many years. That's why they brought in helicopters.

                      Just found out I got drawn for the 11/18-22nd. All I know about Nilgai is that they're tough!

                        My brother (nannyslammer) and I have been hunting the refuge for the past 5 years and killed 8 nilgai during that time with rifle and bow. The nilgai population has since decreased drastically. The first year we hunted for 4 days and saw anywhere from 20-30 nilgai a day. Last year which was our last due to the eradication of nilgai by helicopters. We had 4 guys in our group and only saw 1 calf nilgai in 4 days of hunting. It's a very tough and challenging hunt but can be very rewarding if in the right spot. Good luck to all who are going and watch out for rattlesnakes. There is no shortage of them.

                          Agreed. I've been hunting there for at least 10 years. Been seeing more deer and a lot less nilgai the last two. This tick eradication quarantine is all bogus. Good friend of mine has cattle within the quarantine zone and has his cattle checked often. None of those squirly ticks found in over a year.

                            Yeah in all honesty it has been within the last two years that the nilgai population has been very minimal out there. And I agree I haven't seen more deer until last year and seen some really really nice bucks.

                              wish you and the crew well with whatever is next. same story here 2 yr's ago saw one on stand, last yr none. feels like it has been done, like we rode a good horse into the ground. never looked forward so much to a place that handed out regular whoppings

                              when one door closes another opens, finally reached a point (retired) where i can do a two week trip spring turkey and another in fall for deer doing DIY public in Nebraska.

                              thinking there is going to be a large turnover of people in future, good luck to all the old faces and the new also.

                              final tally 2nilgai bow, 2 with gun, & whitetail buck the last day i hunted gonna miss the old girl.

                                The point of the quarantine is to keep it that way.
