    Here are a couple of pic’s of my cousin along with a friend that recently had a very successful muskox trip. My cousin Jeff took his with his long bow. Jeff said both animals were very good, but his friend Mike shot a slob. Mike was the only non-resident that drew a tag this year. Congrats to both!

    More info from my cousin Jeff:

    “Mike,

    Temp’s were around zero, Mikes Bull scored a whopping 115 5/8 green which would put it as a Alaska State record, old record 111 and some change, my bull scored 105 which is B&C minimum, P&Y is 90,, We call him (Muskox Mike) Tastes like chicken!

    Pretty cool experience!!”

    Congrats Mike on your possible Alaskan State Record!

    Very cool! I would like to hear more about the hunt. I’ve heard one hunting strategy is to try and break up the herd separating the bull and then head to the highest ground. I guess the bull is attracted to the higher ground because he’s visually looking for the rest of the herd.

    I want more story as well. I have heard these animals have gotten very difficult to hunt then in years past. They used to form a circle and fight, but now they will not do this due to hunting pressure. Getting within bow range of a animal of this caliber would be crazy
