So I went out for a blesbuk hunt Wednesday with one cooler, and a trophy bag for the head. Well after seeing this guy I decided to take this guy. Had to rent a uhaul enclosed trailer and buy 5 -150 quart coolers to get him home. Hit him three times with a 30 Nosler at 240 yards while walking/running. He was a BEAST. Awesome hunt with Travis at Heart of Texas Outfitters.

Curious if the meat from an Eland (or any other non-native animal) taken in Texas tastes the same as the ones from their native habitat?

BTW - Great bull!
