For me, an Eland trophy is a bull with Heavy worn horns, blue in color and preferably with the bushy fore head.

I have to agree with ozhunter, but I have also been told that the "bushy fore head" which I think looks terific, can vary from area to area and is also affected by genetics. When you see an old bull you can not mistake him, the depth of chest is simply amazing. We had one run across the track on the way back to camp one evening, yes there was a huge F*** , but it was dark and I had a cold beer in my hand, it was simply not his day to die. I saluted the old fellow as he guided his ladies away into the bush.
