So I've searched and have read - I was highly entertained by stories and opinions.
And I know this can be controversial and subjective but I need to ask because I am going in 2.5 weeks.
300 minimum required by outfitter.
I have a 300PRC that I LOVE. Received it in January, 2021 and it has already killed 7 animals at an average distance of 506 yards.
It shoots 212gr Hornady factory loads - very well.
I have a 300WM that I also love. In the last 3 months it has taken an elk and a bison for average shot distance of 235 yards.
It shoots 180gr Nosler Accubond hand loads - very well.
Questions, based on the above:
This is low fence but high rack. I have never high rack hunted (harvested) before - anything a spot and stalk guy should know before doing high rack? Do you get off the rack to shoot from sticks or do you shoot up there?

Questions, based on the above:
- If you have killed a Nilgai before, which rifle/bullet would you use?
- Shoot straight up the leg, if broadside, for a heart shot? Go high and break both front shoulders?
- If head on shoot in the valley of V of the brisket or the white spot in the throat/neck below chin?
- If quartered???? Aim for opposite shoulder?
