Query Species
Eland are found throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, with populations in countries such as South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Kenya. They are adaptable to a variety of habitats, but are most commonly found in savannas and grasslands.
Male eland can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, while females are generally smaller and weigh up to 1,100 pounds. They can stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder.
Eland have a tan or light brown coat with vertical white stripes on their torso and legs. They also have a short, bristly mane along their necks and backs.
When hunting eland, it is recommended to use a large caliber rifle with a scope, such as a .375 or .416. Hunters should also bring appropriate clothing and footwear for the terrain and weather conditions.
Eland are known to be cautious and elusive, so successful hunting requires careful tracking and patience. Hunters should look for signs of eland activity, such as tracks, droppings, and feeding areas. They may also use binoculars to scan the area for eland herds.
When hunting eland, the ideal shot placement is in the heart/lung area, just behind the shoulder. This ensures a quick and humane kill. Hunters should avoid shooting in the neck or head, as this can result in a less effective shot or even a wounded animal that is difficult to track.
