Rowan's Eland

This year I decided to focus on hunting on an exotic rather than the hogs.  The first sit Dave and I were assigned to the old horse trailer that is used as a ground blind.  Thirty minutes in Dave and I see three rams walk by the trailer we are sitting in. About fifteen seconds later the Eland entered the feeder area.  The Eland was joined by an Aoudad.  A skittish Auodad could make getting a good shot on the Eland difficult.  After three long minutes Dave taps my shoulder signaling me to draw back.  I release and the arrow hits. My shot is a good one.  A few minutes later Dave then decides he wants to take an Auodad.  Dave also has a good shot on his animal.  The Eland is large, and it took a team effort to transport back to the camp.
