Greenland, the largest island on the planet, is also the least densely populated country in the world. Although it is a part of the Danish Commonwealth, Greenland operates with a high degree of self-governance, with Denmark retaining control over certain areas like military and foreign policy. The island boasts a top-notch wildlife management system that supports thriving populations of native species, making Greenland caribou hunting a top notch experience.
In addition to muskox, hunters are drawn to Greenland caribou hunting.
Forget the snowmobiles, dogsleds, and frigid Arctic temperatures. Leave behind the iced-up gear and heavy clothing that make every movement a challenge, not to mention the freeze-dried food and jerky.
When it comes to hunting in Greenland during the summer, you’re in for a completely different experience. This season provides a warm and enjoyable environment, paired with some of the most breathtaking landscapes you’ll ever see. Along with the thrilling hunt, you can take advantage of additional opportunities like exploring Iceland or Greenland, fishing for Arctic char, and hunting muskox and small game.
Depending on the time of year, hunting caribou or reindeer can vary in physical demands.
In August, hunters should prepare for a more strenuous adventure, as reaching prime caribou territory typically involves climbing at least 1,000 vertical feet and covering several miles. Good physical fitness is essential for this challenge. By September and October, the hunt becomes less demanding, as caribou and reindeer are usually found closer to the coast, requiring less strenuous effort to track and hunt them.

The muskoxen in Greenland are especially notable, with many older bulls achieving exceptional trophy quality that often makes it into the Boone and Crockett record book. On a typical hunting day, hunters can expect to encounter numerous muskoxen, and the island also offers ample opportunities to hunt caribou, including many with impressive antlers.
