Tracks of the White Bushman
Eland are the largest antelope in the world, and they can walk for miles. Hunters who have missed a bull learn that soon enough; most give up the track eventually. Too bad most of them don’t hunt behind the white bushman.
Hardware: Bushnell Elite 3500
All in all, a pragmatic hunter should find the Elite 3500 more than good enough to “ride the river with.” At typical street prices, and with Bushnell’s limited lifetime warranty and one-year money-back guarantee, the Elite 3500 could be considered a best buy, too.

Much has been written on the ideal distance to zero a hunting rifle. There is no best sight-in range for everyone, because the range at which hunters expect to shoot their quarry differs considerably.
