Barren Ground Musk-Ox

There is no better place to hunt the largest Musk-Ox in the Arctic

This is a 5-day hunt, guided 1X1, and occurs during late March and early April. Not much walking occurs, so be prepared with very warm winter boots.

Yes, this is the classic Arctic Hunt. It will be snowmobile travel and camping out with your guides in the top trophy areas.

Hunt the largest of the Musk-Ox family in a record-holding area.

The Musk-Ox-only hunts are based out of Kugluktuk, Nunavut.

We take many bow hunters each season. These are very good hunts that are 100% successful. We are still harvesting many bulls that will make the B & C and P & Y record books each year. If you look in these record books, you will see that Kugluktuk (AKA Coppermine) dominates the top 10’s of each. In the latest version of the B & C Awards issue, our area holds 5 out of the top 7 bulls taken including the #1. The record books don’t lie!
