I, too, am looking forward to the story.  But most importantly--what do they taste like??

Best of luck!!

Worked up there in the Arctic some years ago.  Headed 5 hours from Yellowknife to Resolute, couldn't land, then ended in Cambridge Bay and back to YK.  Lots of muskox where I was but we weren't hunting.  "James Bond" aka Timothy Dalton was up there Char fishing, too.  Never got dark the whole time there!  Beautiful land.  Have fun!

Been to ANWR 5 times and have seen Musk Ox on 2 trips. 

Hiking down the East fork of the Chandalar river I came to a blind corner choked with willows.  Prime get jumped by a Griz turf.  I climbed 20 feet  up the broken river bank, dropped my pack and got swarmed bu skeeters.  Next thing I have a mix of OFF and sweat in my eyes.  I see a brown blur right where I had just been.  I thought BEAR! and He's kinda narrow at the same time. ??  Young male Musk Ox.  He might have trampled me if I hadn't recognized the danger area.  Got some good photos of him giving me dirty looks and tearing up the tundra.  When I get my own PC out of storage I'll load some.

Gonna be some rough weather.

End of day 1..Over night in Edmonton, AB.  No issues with the gun, SeaTac just had me sign a paper that the gun was unloaded, put a copy in the gun case, and take it for a power test of the locks. Canada signed and stamped the Firearm Declaration, collected $25 Canadian and said have a good hunt. Neither group looked inside the case.
The adventure continues tomarrow.
