Every year, I try to post pictures from my annual trip hunting in Namibia. I just got back last week after 10 days of hunting, and a couple days playing tourist in London and Windhoek. Hope you enjoy them. A VERY big Eland bull:  A trophy Waterbuck:  A Jackal- like a miniature Alabama coyote:  A Horned Adder- pretty venomous  Big Ben in London

That eland weighed 1200 pounds, and yielded 300 Kg of delicious meat.

I saw these pics on AR, congrats Bud. I'll bet that eland weighed more than 1200 pounds.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I just wish I could have afforded hunting in Africa when I was younger, instead of being a 70 year old fart.

He'standing like 20 ft behind the eland with his hands up to look like he's touching horns. Thats a big animal, and congrats on the great hunt. Africa is a dream for me.

Bud, when I went over an Eland was NOT on my list to hunt. But as you know they are absolutely awe inspiring animals on the hoof. I saw one the first day and changed my mind about not shooting one.
I posted that pic to show their size. They are huge.
Yours is a great example of a trophy Eland, congrats.

He'standing like 20 ft behind the eland with his hands up to look like he's touching horns. Thats a big animal, and congrats on the great hunt. Africa is a dream for me. You're wrong. Here's another picture with my hand resting on the hind quarter of the eland. Im not wrong. Eland are around 9 feet long, so with an outstretched arm on the hindquarter you are 10 ft behind the head. Also Bhamfreds picture has him kneeling behind the head and the eland tops are not at 4.5 ft high. So you werent 20 ft, But you arent holding the horns standing behind it. And if you zoom in on the hands you can see the horns in front. You already went on a dream hunt that 99% of hunters will never go on, no need to use camera angles to imply an animal is bigger than it really is. Great animal though. Congrats on a successful hunt.
