An Elk in Europe is a moose in North America. So I am assuming they’re actually moose bones, not wapiti bones?

The North America wapiti we call an elk is called a red stag in Europe (Hartz in German).

I once belonged to the US military’s Kaiserslautern Rod and Gun Club in Germany, and to get a German hunting license you had to just about be a biologist on European game animals to pass the licensing test....

Hirsch in German... Not hartz.

Old man syndrome.

I stand corrected; so it is. I saw Zealand, and my brain automatically inserted “New”.
