Time to send some formal written communications.
TPWD has to and will formally respond to each.

Imagine if there is enough push and influence from the general public?

I can only imagine, if there was enough response and communication, done properly. There would or will be a change.

I don't have instagram, anyone have a link to that video of meateater.

They’ve been talking about nilgai hunts on meat eater for 3+ years.

On public land? I've heard them talk about hunting them and there's a video episode where he hunts them on the Yturria ranch.

Do we have anyone going to the Exotic only hunt? Lots of good info on this post but room to celebrate a few more

That meateater post is Tyler from The Element. Meateater just picked those guys up in the last couple of months or so. They are east texas guys and I like their content. The video should be on the element youtube channel some time in the near future. It will not be a "meateater" episode, I don't believe.

I just listened to there podcast said they couldn’t post content of nilgai took frontal spined him had to shoot him again sounded like it would get flagged on YouTube, they didn’t say anything but that they was on public unit 51 so they wasn’t broadcasting it too much

Doesn't really matter if they specify where, it's not like a bunch of people who google "archery public nilgai Texas" won't end up competing for the draws. There's just not that many options, and as we do they'll likely just apply for them all.

That is very true bud! There’s so much online about Laguna and the other public hunts that offer a nilgai. Does it hurt your chances, yea somewhat, but not enough to scare most people away from applying. And once most hunters get down there, they give up after two days because they can’t take what Laguna or the other units throw at them!!!

Bikes

I have ordered two e-bikes and hope to have them rigged up for my son and I in time for our two Laguna hunts. If anyone is interested in renting them for the hunts after the 11/18 hunt for Laguna let me know. I don't have a trailer yet but I'm working on that.

I am interested for the late February hunt this year if still offering

[WestwoodLEO]

Another way to solve it is to go on their social media posts and ratio the posts by telling everyone there is a yearly success rate of 10% or less and that’s why it’s never published because of the low harvest rates. Maybe that and some posts on how grueling the hunt is and unfriendly the USFWS is might make some people think twice. An over the counter elk tag might be less work for some people then come all the way down here.
