Why Greenland

Warm-Weather Muskox Hunts

Muskox can be hunted in the summer and fall in Greenland, often in pleasant 60-degree temperatures. Winter hunts are also available for a more traditional experience

Large, Abundant Caribou

Greenland is home to many large caribou (also called reindeer), with most scoring in the 300- to 350-inch range and sometimes larger—one that scored 458 SCI points was taken here in 2015

Stunning Scenery

Greenland is a beautiful country to explore, with plenty of post-hunt activities such as sightseeing, photography, and fishing for Arctic char

About hunting in Greenland

Greenland is the world’s largest island and its most sparsely populated country. It is part of the Danish Commonwealth; its government is mostly autonomous although Denmark oversees certain aspects such as the military and foreign affairs. Greenland has an excellent system of wildlife management, and its wildlife is thriving. Muskox and caribou/reindeer are the main draws for hunters. Trophy quality for muskox is outstanding, with many older bulls qualifying for the Boone and Crockett record book. Hunters will typically see many muskox during the course of a hunting day. In addition, there are plenty of caribou on the island, including many large-antlered, mature bulls.

Visas

No visa is required for citizens of the United States or Canada who are visiting as tourists for a stay up to 90 days. For more information on visa requirements, see https://greenland.visahq.com.

Firearms

Hunts may be done with rifles or archery equipment, and bringing your own gun or bow into Greenland is not a problem. Most outfitters recommend .30-caliber rifles with shot distances averaging 50 to 150 yards for muskox and 100 to 300 yards for caribou. Hunters may be required to present a valid hunting license and/or proof of hunting certification from their home country. Check with your outfitter for specifics, or apply in advance for a firearm permit here.

Trophy Hunting Greenland

Outfitter

Greenland is amazing - hunting in this beautiful country will blow your mind. Loved Erik, Mads and Rasmus. They worked extremely hard to make sure all hunters in our party bagged a quality animal. We went in September - definitely bring good hiking boots; I was thankful to have a waterproof boot- several times we had to walk through water that was ankle height. We hiked roughly 68 miles in 4 days, which is abnormal- most people hike much less to get their animal. Your trip will be better if you are in good shape. Also if you fly in a few days before or after your hunt, staying at the youth hostel is included in the price of the hunt (Erik, the owner also owns the youth hostel). This is a great perk as it is can be expensive to get to Greenland and it is expensive to be there. Would love to return for another hunt with these awesome people. If you are looking to treat the guides, Rass seems like he enjoys bourbon and French cheese. Mads is into Kuiu and Stone Glacier. (It apparently takes six weeks to get any shipping to that country so you can always just ask Erik if guides are in need of something specific :)

Everything about the hunt was amazing. Heads up about Greenland: flights can be unreliable, especially into Nuuk, so prepare yourself. Avoid flying in on the 1st of 15th; that is payday and is apparently spent drinking by the locals, even locals who work at the airports. Also, FYI, the grocery store in Kangerlussauq closes at 1400 on Saturdays, and is not open on Sundays. So, make sure you get yourself some groceries as soon as you land if you are there several days before your hunt. Other than that - book this hunt. You won’t regret it.

Trophy Hunting Greenland

Outfitter

Everything was great: Animals/fish: muskox, arctic hare, arctic fox, ptarmigan, cod. Our group got 4 big mature muskox bulls the first morning of the hunt out of one herd. Everyone was happy with their bulls. One guy in camp caught a cod we estimated at 22-24 lbs which was unheard of. 2 of us got fox...2 of us got arctic hare. The other guys weren't interested in either one or they could've taken them. Everyone got ptarmigan. Guides: they worked hard for us...even after we got our muskox. Food: caribou, muskox, cod, ptarmigan for dinners. Cereal and oatmeal for breakfasts. Sandwiches for lunch. Guides cooked great dinners for us. Northern Lights: If it's clear, they can be spectacular. Already wish I was back in camp. ***Don't underestimate the need for good clothes. The trips to camp and to the hunting area can get cold. I wore leather hunting boots and my feet got cold on the way to camp. The rest of the trip had great weather and I never got cold again. ***You may want to consider changeable tickets for your flights. We had one cancellation due to weather that caused quite a hassle given it took 3 airlines to get there. We almost had to buy a new ticket to get home but finally got some help after 3 hours on the phone. One guy from another camp had to buy a ticket home for $2250 when his flights couldn't be changed.

Nothing...trip was great.

Our group got 4 great bulls the first morning. Guides worked hard keeping us busy fishing and hunting small game.

Long atv ride to the hunting area but the new camp being built will solve this.

The constant effort to get you on game.

The outfitter was awesome, the airline getting me there really lacks.

Trophy Hunting Greenland

Great adventure. Not your average hunt with a lot of physical hiking. Very remote. Expect to do 5 mile hike in and out with your pack. Walking sticks were helpful for the hike in and out. Then 5-12 mile hikes per day for hunts. Guides and helpers were very experienced, friendly and helpful. They will pack out trophies for minimal fee.

Pack for every kind weather but for sure cold wet nights. Cold but manageable/comfortable sleeping huts. Be ready for blisters and wet feet.
