Now that i figured how to post pictures and have posted all my African stuff, I thought you might enjoy a couple from my August hunt. Hunted with High Arctic Lodge 90 KM north of Cambridge bay.

The next 2 are from a site about 2 KM from camp, skull was dated 1500 years old. The other picture is what is left of a Caribou antler blind.

Awesome Pics, and a fantastic Muskox.
 
that's a weird one !!!
do they cook up good ?
is that its summer coat or is it malting?
 
Arctic hunts are great! Thanks for the pictures, I love your musk ox.
 
Thanks for sharing, that's a hunt I would like to do soon.
 
Unique trophy. Thanks for the post and pics.
 
It was a great and unique hunt. The outfitter and guides where a breath of fresh air for a Canadian outfitter. Bluey as far as cooking up the meat is very mild a lot like grass fed beef. The barren lands are so much different then the rest of Canada, and the culture is very laid back.
 
Congrats Spooksar on a great trophy! Hoping in the next few years dad and I can head up towards Cambridge and turn a good hunt.

Interested in knowing if everything was 100% or if you experienced any hickups during the hunt? How was the weather in August?

Again, congratulation's on a awesome animal and adventure!
 
No hiccups with the hunt, weather was 3-7 degrees celsius. only problem was First Air left my meat in Yellowknife and sent it on Canada North, 6 hours later. Had a bit of a hasle with one lady in Edmonton but her superviser straightened it out.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
