    Centennial Wapiti trip

    Hi Team,

    Here's a vid I put together of a trip I did this year, April 10-11-12th into Lake Katherine, Fiordland.

    Enjoy

    Very interesting thank you.

    Do you have any plans to bag an animal with the Rifle?

    I'm thinking probably not....it's such a valuable bit of history I'm loath to do serious hunting with it. Apart from the Wapiti it took some amazing Red Stags around Manapouri, so it's had quite the career already. I've got a few other rifles I really need to take hunting too.
