Looks like a young bull. I prefer bulls that are older, and have a very thick main on their forheads. | ||

........actually, it could even be a female. The horns are very long, and thin at the base and it has very little "ruff" between the horns, the presence of which usually denotes a bull. You'll find an image of a good Eland bull (albeit East African) on the NE forum on the photo competition post. | |||

It is a young eland bull, I shot one like it for meat, they normally have longer horns because it has not been used a lot, the old bulls normally have short horns. I shot one Eland bull and had it head mounted, when we went to collect it was the oldest eland mound, the rest was all young bulls. The lady told me they normally just get young ones because the Trophy hunters want the ones with the longest horns, length is was counts with them, not how it looks. For me an old bull makes an outstanding trophy, I will not even think of mounting an young bull, don't do justice to an Eland bull, than you can go ahead and mound and Eland cow the same if you want length | |||
