South Texas brush country

Hunt free-ranging nilgai in Texas

Low-fence fair chase on hundreds of thousands of acres — spot-and-stalk nilgai with Lomas Chicas Outfitters.

Welcome to Lomas Chicas Outfitters

HUNT free ranging NILGAI in low fence country that has not been commercially hunted. Nilgai are the hardest to hunt and the toughest to kill of any animal on the North American continent. Hunting nilgai is addicting if you appreciate “The Hunt”.

Many of our customers who have hunted in Africa compare nilgai to Cape Buffalo in difficulty to kill. The meat is high on the list of desirable game meat. People with cholesterol problems choose to include nilgai meat in their diet because it has a very low cholesterol count.

According to Wes Reagan, one of our satisfied customers: “If you want to hunt a really good Nilgai bull, on a beautiful ranch with a great guy, book your hunt with Sam Ilse and Lomas Chicas Outfitters. I can promise you that you will not be disappointed.”

Hunting nilgai

At Lomas Chicas Outfitters, we offer hunting one of the most elusive animals known to man: the Nilgai Antelope. This animal is a native of India. He doesn’t have long or multi-pointed horns, but the bull and the female have an unbelievable fortitude. You will find the Nilgai to be one of the toughest (if not the toughest) animals to bring down and keep down.

We offer a spot and stalk hunt, where the excitement is overwhelming. We do not shoot at these animals while they are running unless they are wounded. They have eyes equal to an Eagle. And the big ears they have aren’t just for show!

We suggest using a 30 caliber or larger with a Premium Cartridge. Personally, I recommend the Barnes TTSX or LRX bullet. The Remington Trophy Bonded load has performed well also.

We have 165 thousand acres of low fence fair chase area to hunt. The only animal we hunt is the Nilgai.

We offer numerous hunting packages. Please call to see if we can help with your needs.
