Elk are what we call the pure wapiti imports from the states to deer farms. We call the interbred elk/red from fiordland "wapiti". Well, I do, anyway.
Split (bifurcated) drop tines on its right... wap for sure
cool to know,, plenty more sign there 2.
mite have to take a shooter for a look there one day:thumbsup:
If the photo is as to how it was found, without a lower jaw and no skeleton, I would say it was another one that has been dropped by a prankster chopper crew.
yea ive heard of private blocks/safari parks getting in Waps to boost the bloodlines....
Cool find mate, added a bit of a buzz to your day i'm sure..
no deepsouth the buzz of the day was me walking along removing a few (20+) traps to another ridge.
I carry my traps on rock climbing quick draws in sets of 10..Any way.
Im not sure how long I was walking with a set trap. But when i lifted them up at head hight to get over a log It happend...
KABOOM got a nipple bite from a victor:omg:
So yea wont forget the day i found it haha
