    Two Wapiti babysitter wanted: 2 years, pays top dollar, in Nelson

    I thought I'd throw this out there. Truth be told I was 50/50 on whether the shipping company had stolen all of our stuff and most of our money...but apparently they didn't.
    I'm not sure we'll end up with a kiwi house that can hold these...but that's 20-24 months away.
    I have a deal worked out with Hunting & Fishing to take em, even though they're moving/combining stores.
    I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone in the greater Nelson area has ample wall space and wants to look at some US Wapiti for a couple years and be rewarded with beers and fishin gear.

    A local taxidermist, if you can find one, would likely have the space and might appreciate the opportunity to display for customers enjoyment. Just a suggestion .....

    I have access to a trophy lined house in Hawkes Bay that can accomodate them high up on a wall

    Unfortunately they won’t fit at my place.

    Which state are they from?

    Thanks
    They’re from Washington state, one rifle, one archery. I figured I’d keep the two shoulder mounts and sell the 6 euro mounts in the states…now I kinda wish I’d done it the other way around. Next time we quit our jobs and move across the world I’ll know better.

    Local NZDA club room?
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.
