Greenland
THE BIGGEST ISLAND
Greenland is the world’s biggest island. Almost 80% of it is covered by the ice cap and glaciers.
The Greenland Muskox originates from North-East Greenland. During the sixties, animals were moved to West Greenland, where they have prospered, due to very good environmental conditions. In this beautiful hunting country, there is abundance of game animals, trophy tags plentiful and trophy quality is excellent.
The hunting area is reached by boat, a 2 hours ride from Kangerlussuaq.
The main game is muskox and caribou, combo hunts during summer and fall, and only
WINTER-SPRING HUNTS
The winter hunt takes place from about 01 March to 11 April. It is a wonderful hunting season and the chances of seeing the Arctic Five (Muskox, Caribou (female), Arctic fox, Snow hare and grouse) are particularly high at this time of year.
The hunting is done by a combination of snowmobile or quad and stalking by foot. If a herd is in sight, you will start stalking. Besides Muskox, you can hunt for Grouse, Snow hare, Arctic fox and Caribou (female). You can also try ice fishing and take a tour with the sledge dogs. Accommodation is provided in Kangerlussuaq.
SUMMER - FALL HUNTS
The summer/autumn season on the musk ox extends from 01 August to 15 October. The game population is good and the chances of shooting a strong trophy bull are excellent. The starting point for the hunt is a comfortable lodge, which is situated directly on a fjord and can be reached by boat.
The camp is in the middle of the hunting area and sometimes you can spot muskoxen directly from the camp. You often take the boat and search for muskox or you stalk at predestined places in the inland. There is also the unique opportunity to hunt for caribou bulls. You can get to the habitat areas by a combination of boat trip and foot stalking. You have to be prepared for long distances of stalking and a good physical condition is a must for a successful hunt.
