Jim and I did another run to Mekoryuk and this time he was the permit holder. We had to look long and hard for a decent bull, but the weather was in our favor and things went smoothly...

Dave,
That joker looks like it has some really nice hooks. Very nice.

Was that a drawing hunt or a tier hunt?

What makes a way-cool rug is to get two of those things, and have the back halves sewn together.

Pictures are awesome, nice ox!

Not to mention them things are good eating!

Have to thank the Queen, for the arctic gear....

The shot was probably around 70yds.

It was hard to get vid coverage, and even stills, in the cold temps. The cameras just didn't wanna work......

MD, i'll try and catch you this morning.....
Looks like we best fire up the new grinder again....

When do you get there Paul?? <grin>

Nice! Through all that wool, how big is the carcass? I'm wondering about how big they are without all that extra loft...

I'm from Virginia. Which one is the musk ox?
Jim
I'd guess he weighed around 600lbs, though it's a tough guess. Once the hide is off, they look a lot smaller than when they're running around with all that hair.

Jim is doing a head mount, couldn't talk him into life-size. They are good eating, but chewy.
