TROPHY OF LONG CHASE
WAPITI HEAD PROM THE SOUND. [Per Press Association.! INVERCARGILL, March 81. Mr Doans, of Canterbury, the holder of one of the Southland Acclimatisation Society’s Wapiti licenses, who went into the Wapiti country via Lake Te Anau, returned with a fine head, a 15 pointer, which he shot on the top ridges of the middle arm on west of Lake To Anau. Mr Deans and his two guides had great difficulty in getting the weighty head back to To Anau, being further hampered by the fact that soon after the Wapiti was shot, a heavy downpour of rain set in and lasted for two days, during which time they were compelled to shelter under a single tent fly their only available protection. During the time they wore In the Wapiti country, only two animals were sighted, the second one which was at a range of 500 yards, being the only one which offered an opportunity for shooting.
