Judging my eland

If I had one regret about this hunt, I wish I had my .416 Rigby with me... Her name is Betty. I opted to use the PH's hire weapon, a beautiful .375 Westley Richards, but I wasn't too familiar with her or the ammo. Although my shots were all lethal( no gut shots or random locations) The eland would just not succumb immediately. Let me just say, I cried a lot that day..I highly advise one to take a high calibre weapon and ammo for a massive eland.. I don't know much at all with hunting, but I do know I wish I had my Betty on that day.
 
You go Girl! Magnificent trophy. Need to put one of these great animals on my list for the next trip.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
