Victoria Island Muckox
Any one have any info on the muskox population on Victoria Island, my outfitter is informing me that it could be as low as ten percent of normal!

BiebsI was just looking into hunts there. Hope they're not going the way of the Caribou in many areas.

SpooksarWhen I hunt up there last year the numbers were way down, may take a few years to rebound

oddsixLikely down near Cambridge Bay due to the commercial harvest. I would talk to High Arctic lodge they are far from the town and would have a better idea of what is really happening.
My e-mail from Fred stated that herds were at 10% of normal (down 90%)

cmfic1I hunted there last year for Caribou & Muskox.
Saw lots of Muskox, but have nothing to compare the numbers to, as I have never been before.
One or 2 Muskox should be a gimme....don't waste your money on the Arctic Island caribou upgrade....putting on up to 100 miles a day on the machines, I saw 1 Bull/ 6 cows in 6 days.
