Texas Exotic

Nilgai

The blue bull of India — fast, wary, and one of the most prized exotics in Texas.

About the Nilgai

The nilgai — known in India as the blue bull — is the largest Asian antelope and one of the most challenging exotic hunts in Texas. Mature bulls turn a deep blue-gray and carry short, sharp horns over a powerful, horse-like frame.

Nilgai are famously wary and fast. A bull will spot a hunter from over a mile and disappear before a stalk can close. They are typically hunted spot-and-stalk with a heavy-caliber rifle.

Nilgai venison is exceptional — lean, mild, and considered some of the best wild meat in Texas.
