The East Foundation and award-winning Wildlife Systems, Inc. have once again teamed up to present an extraordinary opportunity to pursue North America's most enigmatic exotic game animal—the mighty nilgai bull, the legendary "blue bull" of South Texas.
The legendary 28,000 acre El Sauz Division is pure wilderness magic in the fabled Wild Horse Desert near Port Mansfield and is part of a deep ranching lineage stretching back over 100 years. Through East Foundation’s extensive stewardship program, this property is an ecological wonderland that will leave you breathless.
The extraordinary landscape here showcases diverse and highly productive wildlife habitat—a tapestry of ancient live oaks, pristine Tamaulipan thornscrub, dense South Texas brush country, open grasslands, miles of Laguna Madre shoreline, and towering inland sand dunes. This property holds the distinction of supporting the largest documented population of the breathtaking and highly endangered ocelot. Imagine the thrill of possibly glimpsing one of these elusive spotted cats during your pursuit of the blue bull—a wildlife encounter that money simply cannot buy elsewhere.
Since the late 1930s, nilgai have roamed free across this South Texas paradise, evolving into one of the most challenging trophies in North America. These magnificent giants—standing up to 4.5 feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 600 pounds—possess an almost supernatural ability to vanish into the thornscrub. The spot-and-stalk pursuit of a mature nilgai bull through this diverse habitat represents hunting at its purest form—no blinds, no feeders, just you, your guide, and one of nature's most magnificent creatures in an epic game of fair-chase hunting.
Your success will be rewarded with some of the finest wild game meat on the continent. Nilgai venison is celebrated by chefs and hunters alike for its exceptional flavor—lean, tender, and remarkably mild with none of the gaminess associated with other exotic species. This premium meat rivals the finest beef, offering a culinary experience that transforms your hunting achievement into unforgettable meals for months to come.
Your adventure is guided by the acclaimed professionals at Wildlife Systems, Inc., whose reputation for excellence and success in the hunting industry is well known.
YOUR COMPLETE ADVENTURE PACKAGE INCLUDES:
• One trophy nilgai bull for one fortunate hunter
• Three nights luxury accommodations in Port Mansfield
• 2.5 days of fully guided hunting, meals, lodging, and game care provided by the professional team at Wildlife Systems, Inc
• Scheduling must take place during a mutually agreeable date between January 10 - March 1, 2026
• Wildlife viewing opportunities, including the possible chance to observe ocelots, trophy white-tailed deer, turkeys, javelinas, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and an incredible diversity of songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and shorebirds
Every dollar raised through this special auction item directly advances TWA’s critical work. Your winning bid doesn't just secure an extraordinary hunting experience—it supports the future of Texas wildlife and the continued stewardship of our state's precious natural resources.
TWA extends heartfelt gratitude to the East Foundation and Wildlife Systems, Inc. for this generous and unforgettable donation that makes conservation possible.
