That is an Eland. Probably close to 1750 lbs and 16 years old. I hit him once in the shoulder and he turned the other direction, one more round in the other lung and he dropped it 20 feet. He fell less than 20 yards from the original shot.

Congrats...nice shooting!
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel As much as I hate to admit it, I do like my truck

Wow knew they were pretty big, but not how big. Google says 900-2200 lbs! That’s a huge range.

He was pretty much impossible to maneuver with three grown men. I’m expecting up to 400 lbs of delicious meat.

Amazing animals and they sure are big! One property we hunted in Namibia had an 8ft high fence on one side, and it went for miles. To our amazement, we watched a herd of 10 or so mature bull eland jump that fence and kept trucking. Couldn't believe it.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.......holy kaka.....What a Ride!
