Hunting area is huge, All transportation in Greenland is either by boats or helicopters and if you take your trophy early , you can go fishing for the Greenland searun Arctic Char ore the Arctic cod with your bare hands, that is something you should try to do before you departure this wonderful country with it´s spectacular nature sights..

There are two main hunting areas we have to offer our clients. One is on the West Coast of Greenland, in the Kangarlussuaq region. The other is on the southern part of Greenland, near Ivigtut. The area between the coast and the ice field plays host to 4,000 to 5,000 oxen..

This area has excellent grazing and is one of the reasons for the impressive size of beast found there. A typical trophy will be around 350 - 480kg, some 15% heavier then those from other areas of Greenland. Our guides provide only the best trophies.. 

There are two seasons for hunting musk-ox and each season has its own charms and challenges. The winter hunts take place from early March to early April and are under taken in the Greenland tradition using dog sleds for transportation and tents for accommodation, cabins are often used too..

This is a real frontier experience. Later in the year the summer hunts run from mid-July to early August. During this period the hunting area is accessed by helicopter and boats, the accommodation is in really good hotels ore comfortable lodges..

The weather is more suitable to europe at this time of year and there is 24-hour daylight. Whilst out in the field a radio link with base camp is maintained in case of emergency and there is ready access to boats or helicopters back to base should a situation warrant it..

Musk-ox licences are extremely limited and clients should give as much notice as possible if wishing to book a hunt. Our previous clients have a 100% success rate and have all returned delighted with the experience.

We offer weel equipped boats for the hunting with experianced guides and captain, drinks and packed lunch in the boat while hunting..

All true hunters have to have a bite of the fresh liver from the fallen animal, quite exiting experiance thats is memorable forever..
