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.

sorry small house but have to say man they are impressive

indeed!

maybe try local deerstalkers?

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

@bunji will look after them and weave a good yarn around them

Unfortunately they won’t fit at my place.

Which state are they from?

Wicked heads!
Can store them in Queenstown

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.

love the way your taxidermist has done those..the ears back is a nice touch.
MAYBE the FWF might have good place for them????

@Kiwi Greg might have a spot for them at local NZDA

Id love one....just scratching my head where it could go...

Local NZDA club room?

Can get u a wall space in a gunstore in Christchurch
Have u looked Into the quarantine bs to get them here

Sorry store in Nelson
Fk I'm losing it

Red Deer Lodge is full of heads, pretty hard to find somewhere big enough to do them justice

H&F are closing both stores Nelson and Richmond and moving into a new one opposite Mitre10, we have been told those stores will be open for Easter this year. Its going to be carnage in the carpark, might have to start biking to work again.

Thanks Boys!!
Yeah, the H&F owner said he'd store em and then put em in the new store but that's a lot of hassle for them and I can only imagine all the other crap they'll be dealing with. @Sharki I've got em here and I'll be visiting Gun City asap...many tanks for the intel!!!
