I was looking through old photos and found this one. It shows me and my father on a friend of mine's place in South Africa. We had just came in from more than a week in the bush and this is outside the skinning shed. Laid out in front of us is a weeks worth of safari. Left to right are waterbuck, impala, impala, blue wildebeest, southern greater kudu, cape eland, cape eland, southern greater kudu, blue wildebeest, waterbuck and impala.
I am on the left and all the horns up to the first set of cape eland horns (right in front of me) were taken by me. The second set of eland horns and everything else to the right were taken by dad. At the time my eland was #13 in the world but I never had it officially scored or entered. Not showing is a couple sets of warthog tusks and some small stuff like duiker and steenbok.
Here is the my eland in the field
I lost dad, my hunting partner, on Sept 29 2013 to lung cancer. Sure do miss hunting with him.
