“Umingmak”, or “The Bearded One”, is on the bucket lists of many hunters. There is literally nothing else out there like a Muskox. An animal still virtually unchanged from the Ice Age. The adventure is a once in a lifetime Arctic experience that you will never forget!
The muskox is a stocky, long-haired animal with a slight shoulder hump and a very short tail. Both sexes have horns, but the horns of bulls are larger and heavier than those of cows. Mature bulls are about 5 feet high at the shoulder and weigh 600 – 800 pounds. Cows are smaller, averaging approximately 4 feet in height and weighing 400 – 500 pounds. An 800-lb muskox will dress out at about 480 pounds, providing roughly 275 pounds of meat.
For hunters after their North America 29, these two categories of musk ox (Greenland and barren ground) were combined into a single category. Musk ox from Alaska, Canada, and Greenland are all eligible for entry into this single category recognized today.
By the 1920s, muskox had disappeared from Europe, Asia, and Alaska. The only remaining muskox were in Greenland and Arctic Canada. International concern over impending extinction of this animal led to an effort to restore a population in Alaska.
In Alaska, permits vary from year to year based on the year’s muskox counts. Permits are divided evenly between the two hunts. If you’re lucky enough to draw a muskox permit on Nunivak Island, you’re likely to get your bull.
In Canada, we offer both Barren Ground and introduced Greenland muskox hunts.
Our Muskox Hunts in Greenland take place on the northern and eastern coasts of the island.
