Jeff,
If my memory serves me right, this bull went around 1700lbs. It took 3 shots from a .416 Rem. I'm really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your Eland hunt. I hear too many hunters say that they don't want to hunt one as they remind them too much of cattle, which is a real shame.
They are just such an impressive animal, which will give you the same challenge as any other plains game animal.
Thanks for sharing your bull. Hell of a trophy you got there! Congratulations.
Take Care,
Marius
Some serious meat on the hoof there, Marius!
I really enjoyed hunting eland. Beautiful(and tasty!) animal. But it was how we hunted them, that I enjoyed the most. Cut a likely looking track, and walk them down. It was wonderful, and really glad that we got to do it several times before succeeding. Will do it again, for sure!
Regards,
Jeff
