I got this one a few years ago. it is a Cape Eland and it was a little over 39" on one horn and a little over 40" on the other. He was a little unusual since his horns didn't have much in the way of tip to tip spread and not much of a topnot.

He remains the biggest one I've seen in the field over the course of 5 safaris. My father got this one about 2 hrs after I got mine hunting in a different part of the concession. It was wild taking 2 eland bulls on the same day.

Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it someday.
