Free-Range Nilgai Hunts in South Texas


Experience one of the most exciting and unique big game hunts South Texas has to offer with 4 Bar C Outdoors. Our free-range nilgai hunts take place in true South Texas brush country, giving hunters the chance to pursue one of the toughest and most sought-after exotic animals in North America.


Nilgai are known for their incredible eyesight, sharp instincts, tough build, and challenging hunting conditions. These hunts are designed for hunters looking for a real adventure, whether you prefer a traditional spot-and-stalk hunt, a safari-style hunt, or the added excitement of hunting with thermal optics during the day or at night where legal and permitted.


Our nilgai hunts are offered from October through February, making them a great option during the cooler months when South Texas hunting conditions are at their best.

What Makes This Hunt Special
