Well the move paid off. Son shot a cow about 15 minutes before last light. It went down hard and got up and ran. Waiting a bit to track. Will keep ya updated.

Where does he think he hit it? Kinda odd for a nilgai to drop right away and then take off running

[TXOUTLAW]

Awesome great experience. Hope you find her

[Huntindad]

Sounds like y'all gonna be up awhile.

Ok so I screwed up and learned a lesson. I knew nilgai vitals were pushed farther forward in the chest cavity. She gave me a perfect broadside shot and I figured since I’m using a 653gr arrow that I could punch through the shoulder to get vitals but man was I wrong. I knew these animals are tough but holy smokes when people say they’re tuff they dang sure mean it. For once I hit exactly where I was aiming just didn’t go as I planned it in my head.

Found one spot of blood right where she fell and managed to find 2-3 more micro drops of blood. Called it a night and will search in the morning but I’m 99.9% sure she’s gonna survive



Got about 4.5” of penetration.

Hopefully the morning will reveal better sign and who knows you might just find her. Last resort is a quick grid search.

At least you had some action

What hatchet of a broadhead is that? Hopefully you find better sign in the morning.

I watched a 550gr arrow going in the 290 fps range and a grim reaper fatal steel get similar penetration.

I figured with my long draw and 80lbs would be fine. I shot lengthwise through a spike at laguna last year with that setup. 2 nilgai cows later, no more mechs for nilgai for me!

I know some folks shoot them with whitetail setups but after having bad experiences I’m going to a smaller COC head. Debating between the iron will wide or the solid 125 since I have both.

I had a chance to see a nilgai at a petting zoo at the state fair this year and their skin reminds me so much of hogs. Doesn’t seem like they bleed no matter what they’re stuck with and I can see why.

Good luck and stick another one! Let us know how it goes!

[furboom]

good luck finding her. thats my favorite meat.

[Mitchell8]

Might be dead they aren’t bullet proof or arrow shielded you drew blood

[ABWGTX]

Hope Y'all are successful. Best of luck today.

[TXOUTLAW]

Tough lesson but with that broadhead I would have thought like you. Hope you find her

[RiverRat00]

If it dropped it was definatley hit hard

[79F250]

Looked again this morning for over an hour and couldn’t find another single drop off blood. Did a grid search and nothing

You misspelled "high"
