This fantastic report is the reason why any talk of "no reports" is a travesty. Excellent stuff! JCHB | |||

Man is that a great LDE. I must be the only man to ever hunt them and not connect, but I am sure proud of you ! Dave Fulson | |||

Originally posted by Idaho Sharpshooter: I would love to draw down on one with 36" horns, and when I mount him with the tips of the horns seven feet off the ground, the dewlap drags. Sharpshooter, how would you manage to get him on his knees before you mount him? Shoot him first? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist that. And it helped me contain the green envy I felt after reading such a fine report of a truly spectacular hunt for some awesome trophies in an exotic locale that I will probably never be fortunate enough to see. My hat is off to 505 Gibbs! Well done man! SFH REMANUS DURUS CORPS! | |||

And a video of when one of the eland came into camp. These guys loose their minds when someone shoots an Eland. <br /><span style="font-size: 70%" ><a href="http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=vifztz&s=7" >Original Video</a> - More videos at <a href="http://tinypic.com" >TinyPic</a></span> | |||

That story just made me add an eland to my hunt with Martin next month. Now he's got to find an old Dagga Boy and a old blue bull for me.

I was bitten by the eland bug in 2007 with Vaughan Fulton. The itch is next going to be scratched in Zim with Mokore this August, but some day I really do want to try for LDE. Fantastic-looking animal and a fantastic-looking hunt! | |||
