About this hunt

The Muskox is a signature statement in any trophy room. This is a pinnacle hunt, you are seeking to successfully hunt one of the ancient pre historic animals in Canada. There is no better place to hunt the largest Barren Ground Muskox in the Arctic then Aylmer Lake Lodge. The Barren Ground sub species are 15% larger in body and horn size than it’s cousin the Greenland Muskox. The hide on the Muskox is simply stunning. The area you will be hunting has never been commercially hunted. Our lodge is located in this new hunting zone. It’s a brand new area in the NWT, Canada. You are hunting in the rut season so the Muskox are herded up for breeding. You will be witnessing the fighting between dominant bulls. When you come across a herd of Muskox it is not uncommon for multiple hunters to harvest their animal. This hunt is also conducive to archery hunters. The areas we hunt are so remote that the Muskox rarely if ever see humans. Muskox hunts are during the most spectacular fall colours on earth. The sound of Muskox fighting the banging of skulls ringing out. The entire barren lands is vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows and the berries are bountiful and ripe. You should have opportunity to see caribou and wolves at this time of year. It’s the time of year for spectacular spawning lake trout and Arctic Grayling fishing.
