Thread: Setting my trap line

Wapiti is the american indian name for elk.
Youd be surprised who many waps or crossies there are I the cni. Escapees

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

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....
