Hunting in Greenland

Greenland is a char fishing and hunting paradise. Our programs have now become quite popular and they are fast becoming a firm favourite amongst our clients. Our reindeer hunters have been returning full of praise for what they have experienced there. We have a vast hunting concession in the south of Greenland.


Musk-ox  and  Reindeer hunting in Greenland
We welcome you and your hunting friends to visit one of the most exotic countries for hunting in the world. The past few years we have been able to offer clients the rare opportunity to hunt one of the most sought after Arctic big game trophies, the Musk-ox.

There are two main hunting areas we have to offer our clients. One is on the West Coast of Greenland, in the Kangarlussuaq region. The other is on the southern part of Greenland, near Ivigtut. The area between the coast and the ice field plays host to 4,000 to 5,000 oxen.  This area has excellent grazing and is one of the reasons for the impressive size of beast found there. A typical trophy will be around 350 - 480kg, some 15% heavier then those from other areas of Greenland.
There are two seasons for hunting musk-ox and each season has its own charms and challenges. The winter hunts take place from early March to early April and are undertaken in the Greenland tradition using dog sleds for transportation and tents or cabins for accommodation.   Later in the year the summer hunts run from mid-July to early August. During this period the hunting area is accessed by helicopter and boats.  The accommodation is in comfortable hotels and lodges.
The weather in summer is like Spring in Europe, and there is 24-hour daylight. Whilst out in the field a radio link with base camp is maintained in case of emergency and there is ready access to boats or helicopters back to base should a situation warrant it.
Musk-ox licences are extremely limited and clients should give as much notice as possible if wishing to book a hunt. Our previous clients have a 100% success rate and have all returned delighted with the experience.
