[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

Title should be "' Hunting hybrid wapiti's"

[@mclauchlanhunting9854]

Cheers for watching mate

[@mclauchlanhunting9854]

Turns out that the colour/look of an animal in that area does not show how much Wapiti DNA they have in them so good chance we were seeing more waps than we thought.

[@pukifuki1381]

[@mclauchlanhunting9854]

Hi, no this is New Zealand. Thanks for watching.
