My good friend Gerhardo Steenekamp, owner of Elansbosch Safaris in the Limpopo, has sent me this picture of a 43 3/8 Eland.

It was shot by a spanish hunter, using a 9.3x62, and should rank in the top five.

That's a nice eland! Brian
 
That is a big animal. Wonder what a big eland like that weights on the hoof?
 
That is a very nice eland. I hope I can get one in 2014.
 
Thanks for posting this.

This guy still had some room to grow if you can fathom that.
He still had brown shoulders (at least from this picture)

Congrats to the successful hunter.
 
what a whopper....:cool:
 
What an incredible eland! Congrats to the very fortunate hunter.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
