Don't be amazed if someone pays you huge for this, to get it for their movie poster.

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks! I am not sure anyone pays a lot for photos anymore ;-)

You are the first person that has used the name Wapati. We lived in the high country of Colorado, and this was our horse’s name........... but it is spelled Wapiti 👍

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks for the spelling error pickup ! Wapiti is quite a common name up here in Canada. 'Elk' in Europe and Asia refers to a moose, so I prefer to use the term Wapiti as it is less ambiguous than Elk.

That said in NZ they are also called Wapiti and were introduced between 1870 and the 1920s (10 even were a gift from the American President Theodore Roosevelt) and over the years have cross bread with European Red Deer which was also released there. As a result in Australia (which is where I am from) Wapiti actually means Wapiti from NZ stock (that is often farmed in Australia) and we then use the term "Canadian Elk" to refer to the farmed Wapiti/Elk that has come from North American stock .

[silvertop]

We always liked the name Wapiti, our horse looked like an Elk...

[intrepidphotos]

Yep it has a nice ring to it.

[agilemediapro]

Brilliant shot!🎉🍸

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks

I thought Just got my Sniper Very easy to put together, instructions was well written and easy to read. I put my own scope on because I'm a disable vet and my scope has a laser. It only took 5 shots to get to the center. I tried three more shots and they were center. Now I have to get more arrows because i had a ROBIN HOOD . Not complaining I never had a crossbow shoot this good. I will go hunting in the morning and will update on getting a deer

I prefer to see people shoot them with cameras than guns.
