About Manchurian wapiti
The Manchurian wapiti is a subspecies of Cervus canadensis (named "elk" or "wapiti" in North America), native to eastern Asia. This deer is found in southeastern Siberia (to the east of Lake Baikal), northeastern Mongolia, Manchuria, northern Korea and northeastern China. Similar forms from Alxa, Gansu, Shanxi and southern Mongolia were originally described as a distinct subspecies, the Alashan Wapiti (Cervus canadensis alashanicus). However recent genetic research indicates that this deer belongs to the Manchurian subspecies.Hunting Techniques
