MOOSE AND WAPITI.
’{TIE average New Zealander has no prospect of ever going to the Fiordland district save as a tourist on shipboard. It is not likely that he will be able to engage in the hunting of the Moose and Wapiti, despite that this year an open season has been proclaimed. Nevertheless, New Zealanders do get a “kick” out of the knowledge that these exceptional members of the deer family have successfully established themselves in the most out-of-the-way corner of New Zealand. The presence of these animals will doubtless add another attraction for overseas sportsmen of the monied classes to come here. As a business proposition, Moose and Wapiti will probably be a good asset, but the average man enjoys the thought that they are there rather than that it pays the Dominion for them to be there.
