Thread: Wapiti hunters. Who was better?

I know it's hard to canister but I think it is a genuinely interesting debate

I don't know what the Wapiti licenses cost but I found one of my grandfather's Otago Acclimatisation Society licenses dated 1927 to shoot one Red stag in the Matukituki. The price was 5 Pounds which was a lot of money back then.
