Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Join us for an unforgettable Musk Ox Hunt in the remote wilderness of Canada’s Northwest Territories, where the tundra stretches endlessly and the ancient musk ox roams free. If you’re looking for a challenging, authentic Arctic adventure, this musk ox hunt offers world-class opportunities, breathtaking scenery, and an unmatched sense of accomplishment. Have questions? Our hunt consultants have been to the NWT — talk to someone who knows the terrain firsthand.
Hunt Overview
Our musk ox hunts take place from February–April (winter hunts) and August–October (fall hunts). Each hunt spans five full days of guided adventure, offering nearly a 100% success rate. Hunters can harvest up to two musk oxen, with over half of harvested bulls meeting Boone and Crockett standards.
The Experience
You’ll travel across vast, untouched landscapes—thousands of square miles of open tundra and rolling hills. In winter, expect crisp Arctic temperatures averaging –10°F to –20°F (with occasional cold snaps to –40°F); in fall, enjoy milder conditions around 50°F.
Each day begins with a hearty breakfast before heading out on snowmobiles or ATVs to glass for herds. You’ll search from high vantage points, tracking and stalking mature bulls across the tundra, returning to camp in the evening for a warm meal and a woodstove-heated rest.
All hunts are 1 on 1 fully guided.
Accommodations & Meals
During the hunt, guests stay in insulated wall tents or small plywood cabins—cozy, heated, and built for Arctic comfort.
Meals are simple but hearty: meat and potatoes, soups, and chilis, with all food provided while in camp.
We can accommodate groups of up to four hunters, with two to three preferred per hunt to ensure a personalized experience.
