Dammed nice trophies! Forgive me if I have it wrong, but is the first pic a Nigel? Hope I got the name right.
benny hill
.308
Nilgai, comes from the king ranch area. Hardest critter ever to drop with any caliber. usually requires 2-4 shots over a long distance. I use a 8mm mag I built shooting a 200 gr barnes @ 3300 fps. Shoot one in the shoulder and it gives you the finger and hauls ass.

Nilgai hunting is a blast. I shot a cow a couple years ago when I was at King Ranch. Benny is exactly correct on the difficulty to drop them. The cow I shot took 4 shots with my 308 with a 175 grain Berger VLD. First 3 shots went in the shoulder and never passed through. The last shot was in the neck and it finally stayed down.

Forgive my spelling. I've heard they are incredibly tough to put down.
