From December 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 there will be a one-time only, experimental muskox hunt as part of a study of the health of the large musk ox herd of Nunavik. This is a unique opportunity for hunters to experience the thrill of a winter hunt and to collect a unique trophy. The musk ox is a remnant of the Pleistocene that, unlike the woolly mammoth, survives in certain limited areas of the Arctic. Accommodations for hunters will be provided in the village of Tasiujaq. The musk oxen are easily found in winter by daily skidoo excursions out of the village.
