Greenland hunt

[375 Ruger Fan]

You have to get on the Greenlandair website.
I'm $2800 all in from Grand Junction Colorado to Denmark then kangerlussuaq.
$1800 was the Greenland air flight with layover in Nuuk on the way there and actually 2 stops to get back to Denmark.
I'm leaving here February 25th 2025

So you are doing the hardcore, cold weather version of a Greenland hunt. Good luck!

The first story I ever read in outdoor life when I was a kid was an arctic muskox hunt.
I couldn't see myself doing it any other way.

Another option is I may wait until January as the DSC convention is in Atlanta. Close to me.

Have not decided yet. Spoke to ATA hunting consultants have one option there. Waiting on Phenoix Phil to get back to me. Jacques has a French partner in Greenland….

Let us know what he comes back with.

• Mosquito spray + head cover net

• Energy pills to give you extra power for the trip

• Rifle + 20 shells

• Binoculars

• Hunting knife

• Flashlight/headlamp

• String 20 meter

He’s the one who has an outfit for 10k combo hunt. August/September hunt. Tents just one hunter in camp. Caribou clothing provided if needed.

Just the flight from Atlanta to Denmark is currently $1500. Expedia or orbitz don’t t have any info on Denmark to Nuuk let alone to get kangerlussaq

There is a direct flight from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq. You shouldn't need to go to Nuuk unless you are flying at a point in time where they no longer are servicing Kangerlussuaq via direct flights from CPH.

Once I know what I’m doing I’ll call air Greenland. I’m being told you now need to go to Nuuk from members here.

Once I know what I’m doing I’ll call air Greenland direct.

It is my understanding that the hardcore one is the Autumn helicopter hunt. The cold weather one, you can snowmobile until you find the animals and then sled them out. The only real hardcore part is the cold, which I would have to admit is likely quite brutal.

That said, the helicopter hunt is for a camp without a quad or snowmobile and no generator in camp either. Plus, you are walking on thawed tundra, which is harder going that frozen tundra due to the ground being so spongy. It is still somewhat cold, but not the brutality of the Greenland winter.

Hardcore weather vs hardcore physical work, so I guess they are both hardcore, just different.

My plan is the fall hunt. September/ early October. I hope there will be someone from Greenland at DSC next year. It’s being held in Atlanta which is less than an hour drive for me I plan on attending.

Have you considered the Nunavut option?

No last time I was in Canada was a nightmare. 40 year old misdemeanor here. They wanted to send me back. Luckily I got in. They are ridiculous honestly.

I booked a combo caribou/muskox hunt through an outfitter on BookYourHunt who had great reviews (booked about 15 months ago). I'm leaving on October 16, so I just booked my flights. On the outfitter's recommendation, I'm flying with a layover in Copenhagen (on United)....then on with Greenland Air into Kangerlussuaq.. Flight was around $1,800.

Yeah Canada sent home a buddy of mine on a OIL sheep, moose, caribou hunt , because he has a alcohol related arrest from the 1980’s
Outfitter kept his money I believe close to $75,000

The flight costs are crazy, wow!

Probably the same outfitter I am using - Erik.

I will be back almost 2 months before you leave.
