Great Eland.Share the hunt..ammo..rifle with us.
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted.

Let me get this straight, you took FOUR Eland bulls on this Safari?
We may need to take your gun away so the Eland can have a chance for a come back in Namibia!
I can not seem to access the photos or your link for some reason.
Feel free to attach them to your next reply here.

Don't get your hopes up on the cheap end, quality hunts cost $$$$$! And the government is making sure they get their share before the outfitter can begin to try to make a profit.
