Overview
Southern Victoria Island bills itself as the "Muskox Capital" of the world.
This designation was given due to southern Victoria Island having a population of 30,000 of these ice age big game animals. The entire island population of muskox is 45,000.
Muskox are frequently seen just a few kilometers from arctic communities.. The accommodation on this hunt is in heated plywood cabins with camps situated about a 4 to 5 km from the village.

Second Muskox:
We have a limited quantity of licenses for a second muskox of either sex. An additional government trophy fee must be paid. Muskox cows are sometimes harvested for those wanting life size mounts for a diorama with a male and female. Extra animals must be purchased in advance.
Waiver of Liability:
The insurance under-writers require that all hunting and travel adventure clients must sign a comprehensive waiver of liability recognizing that big game hunting and wilderness life and travel can be a dangerous activity.
Taxidermy and Shipment of Trophies:
We strongly advise that clients take their trophies with them as excess baggage. This is the cheapest way to get your trophy home or to a taxidermist. For our European clients, we can arrange shipment to a Canadian taxidermist but advise taking trophy as excess baggage to a Yellowknife or Edmonton based taxidermist. If wolf skins are purchased in Arctic communities, clients can obtain CITES permits there as well.
