Arctic Island Musk ox (  Greenland Musk ox )

Hunt the magnificent musk ox of the Arctic with this veteran outfitter! The Victoria Island population has been on the increase for years and has one of the largest concentrations in the Arctic. Herds are usually located anywhere from 20 to 50 miles from Holman. In addition to the fantastic hunting, the friendly Inuit of Holman (population 400) are proud to share their village and traditional culture. This hunt is virtually 100% successful year after year! Holman is alive with musk ox and the hunting is simply awesome. Access to new caribou tags has enabled this outfitter to offer a great combination hunt with Arctic Island Caribou. Greenland Musk ox and Arctic Island Caribou what an awesome addition to your trophy room!

Hunt Conditions: 

You may hunt the Arctic Island Musk ox in the Spring or Fall.  On Spring hunts clients will stay in heated cabins and Fall hunts in heated tents.

The cost of the 6 Day Hunt is $ 4,500.00 USD Funds. Depending on permits available Caribou could be added to this hunt for an additional fee. There is also an option to harvest a second musk ox at a special rate. 
Fall hunts are harder and you will only see ten percent of the musk ox you may see on a spring hunt.
On a spring hunt you will be transported by snow machine from Holman to where the musk ox are hunted. This trip can take the whole day depending on snow and ice conditions. Snowmobiles provide a great deal of mobility, allowing the hunters to cover a lot of ground and providing an opportunity to look over a good number of musk ox. We anticipate 100 percent success or this hunt. Hunting by dog team is however an option. Accommodation is in wall tents with heaters. Foam mattresses and caribou or musk ox skin sleeping mats will be provided. Hunters must bring their own sleeping bags.
Please note that while the hunt is listed as 6 day, actual hunting time may be less due to the abundance of game in the hunting area. The hunt ends when the musk ox is taken.
