Greenland hunting trip

That is a fantastic trip. Did you fly in your own weapons or hunt with ones provided by the outfitter?

We used theirs. Too much hassle bringing your own imo. They had probably a dozen to choose from and all of them were suppressed and had Swarovski or Zeiss scopes.

For all us salivating at home at your trip, what was the ballpark cost without taxidermy?

Pretty affordable really. Mid teens without taxidermy.

Unfortunately you're not getting any meat back from most foreign countries these days. One of our outfitters jobs is providing meat for Kangerlussuaq and many of the surrounding native villages. He provides approximately 120 muskox per year for these communities. Most of these are what he and his family personally take. I was very impressed with how well they took care of the meat and used everything on the animal including the organs and tongue. We did eat our muskox meat for dinners and lunches while we were there.

Well that’s a bummer, but at least it’s not going to waste.

Looks like you guys had a blast! The unfortunate reality of most foreign hunts nowadays involves giving meat away.

I'd be pretty happy if I got a couple of meals out of it at camp. I looked at WTA right after reading your post, and it looks like you can find a reasonably priced muskox hunt over there.

It's been on my list, but it's good to see there are still affordable options out there for hunts like that!

It was an amazing trip! I highly recommend it!

Flights for me were over 2k. Hotels in Kangerlussuaq and Copenhagen were pricey as well (around $500/night). Shooting a second muskox and tips add up too.

Make sure to check references. Our outfitter told us of one of the less expensive outfits over there that charges clients by the pound to pack out their muskox. Literally tells them at the dead muskox, "if you want us to pack this out, it'll be this much $ per pound". Hunting concessions are not all alike either. We talked to another group of hunters leaving the same day as us that had only seen 20 muskox total. We saw over 300 one day alone.

I would pretty strongly recommend Shoshone Adventures over WTA. The fine print on WTA agreements is pretty gross.
