The Nilgai Post

[Ozarkansas]

All good info above. When I’m deciding where to hunt, wind direction is my first concern. I can fool a nilgai’s eyes and ears by using terrain, obstacles and wind velocity but you will never beat their noses. Wind direction is everything!
Nilgai travel very similar to cattle in that they repeatedly use the same trails. Find areas where multiple heavily used trails intersect and there you will find dung piles. Where you find trails and active dung piles, you will find nilgai. Put all of these together with open low spots or big open flats with Bermuda grass growing in the bottom and you have found yourself a nilgai honey hole. Animals will be moving in and out of these types of areas all day long. Sit tight, downwind overlooking these areas and let them come to you. The perfect day would be a cold, clear morning where the sun comes out mid morning and warms up to about 75-80. They will be out moving like ants on these days.
Good luck!

Just saved this post for future reference.

What you describe is where I was spending my time hunting, but I wouldn’t have known it checked all the boxes for a “Nilgai honey hole”
