And what about the buck, was he a good score? Did your dad have to track him, or shoot out of the Jeep? :D
Was tracked, group of 4, and shot at about 200m.

192kg, after butchered and meat looks great, almost no fat(its a cow ofc, was shot for eating not trophy), The bulls are more expensive. and those can be as large as 900kg, need quite a bit of storage space for that.

Also shot 2 average size warthogs.

As far as permits go, in Northwest you dont require any special permit. Just your hunting license.

And all in all, whole trip was around 600$.

Awesome, I've always wanted to try eland with a bow. One of my friends dad went on a trip to Africa two years go and got one. Looks like a ton of fun. :)

If an African map was ever put in the game, this is one of the species I would want.
