Eland was on the list for this trip.
Eland hunting can be extremely tough following these great big animals across the country side that can turn up a ground eating trot like nothing else.
This is where the love for eland hunting came in, one they taste incredible and have a lot of meat, but they can produce a hunt that’s so close to buffalo hunting and elephant hunting that you scratch the itch when you take up tracks of a eland bull. Now we spent a lot of time tracking a group of eland on this hunt and I was getting pretty worn out around mid day when we finally got a shot and although I didn’t get the biggest oldest bull I was proud of him. It was fun having my new found friend @michael.kotze with me during this hunt that would lead to many more over the years to come.
