While I was visiting my parents last month I picked up the Muskox that I shot in April this year. The work was done by Rion White of Orion taxidermy in Moose Jaw SK. Rion has mounted several animals for me and his work is excellent.

My Uncle's trophy room is going to look pretty bare when I eventually take my animals home! The Bison and Muskox are mine and on the opposite wall are some of my trophies from RSA in 2007.

Nice musk ox mount where did you shoot it. Love the bison as well any better pics of that and info on the hunt.

I shot the muskox East of Kugluktuk, Nunavut in April of this year. I thought that there was a thread in the Canadian Forum about the hunt but I can't seem to find it. Here are a few photos from the hunt.



The Bison was from 2011 and was taken near Behchoko in the Northwest Territories. The thread to that hunt is here: http://forums.accuratereloadin...7621043/m/9411044261

I don't seem to have any better photos of the bison on the wall. I'll have to scout around to find some.

BUM

mount came out great on that big bull. Congrats.

And thanks again for letting me bombard you with 9 millions questions about these hunts.. I'm now counting down the days to my own hunt. Come on April!

Very Nice. Congratulations. Probably a hunt that I will never do. Can't do the cold.

Bah, it was only -10 on the day I shot mine. We butchered two bulls and even stopped for lunch and tea before heading home and the bonus was the lunch wasn't even frozen!

Maybe I'll get out again before I move. Still 7 weeks or so. Mind you, dark season is coming...

Bigugly-who did you hunt with...that is a giant! congrats!

Just myself and a couple of buddies. I'm a resident so I saved $8K by not having to hunt with an outfitter.

I've lived in 3 Provinces or Territories since I joined the outfit. When I was in BC I didn't ever get around to applying for a Grizzly draw and never put in for California Bighorns or Stone Sheep. Now I can't hunt them without selling one of my, or more likely both, kidneys. In the NWT I didn't take the opportunity to pay $20 for a Dall sheep tag and a chopper flight into the Mackenzie mountains, opportunity lost again. When I got to Nunavut I decided that I wouldn't regret not hunting what I could. So $10 for the tag and a jerry can of gas later I've got a world-class trophy to hang on my wall and remind me of my time in the North.

Procrastination begets regret, and regret sucks.

Very nice, thats an animal thats on my bucket list.

Very nice. I neede one of those. My wife would hate it more than the Bison I have.

Beautiful bull there.

Congratulations, Rion does a great job with the mounts he produces. I recently had some trophies mounted by him and was very pleased.
