[longrifle]

Hey folks,

Here are a few pictures of the result of my hunt on March 21...Sorry for all the blood, it was too cold to clean the animal's face up properly.

You can see where the bullet exited (patch of grey wool) just behind the shoulder.

My first Muskox, and a good one ta' boot!!

Details:

Rifle used (for all the 'nutz): Remy BDL SS in .270 win (aka old faithful)
Range: A whopping 30 yards
Ammo: Federal HE 140 gr TBBC factory fodder
# of shots: 2
Temp: -32 celsius when we left town at 8:00 am, -42 with the wind; -34 static and -49 with the wind when we got back at 6:45 pm.

What a day, what a hunt!! Gotta go, I've got some butchering to take care of today, I can't wait to get some of the meat on the barbeque.

'rifle.

Nice one! What do you do there when you're not hunting?

 

[riden]

Right on Longrifle!!

Where in Nunavut did you shoot him?

How big is he? He doesn't look that big, but what do I know? And, I am very curious what musk ox tastes like, can you describe it once you bbq some up?

Congrats again.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

I see you are field dressing him on the ground. wouldn't it be easier to winch him up into a tree?

How about some deatils of the hunt? How much daylight do you have there now? What an awesome looking animal. Good job!!!

impossible. we all know a 280 would be required to kill a Muskox!

I see you are field dressing him on the ground. wouldn't it be easier to winch him up into a tree?

My guess is its easier to get it done right there while he's warm and not frozen.

And they have no trees.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Congrats!
How much meat do you get from a muskox?

 

[Big Game]

Congrats, an awesome trophy.

I hope your kidding....

I don't think there's a whole lot of trees in those parts

 

[gitrdun]

Awesome, absolutely awesome. I'd sure like to get some feed back on how that critter tastes like. What are you going to do with the hide?

Musing
How big a BBQ would I need for a Musk Ox?
Charcoal or Propane?
Hmmmm.
Thanks for the pictures.
