First post here. I have used rokslide for the last few years to prepare for western big game hunts last 5 years.

Hailing from Florida but yet to earn the title of Florida man.

Headed to Nunivak Island in August for Musk Ox, will be looking for any info, tips for the hunt as I have never been to alaska before


Thanks for everything and Thanks for the great forum

1. mosquitoes are terrible
2. patience with EVERYTHING
3. bring a big tote full of produce for locals, use it to haul hide and horns for flight back
4. muck boots
5. salt for hide

Wow that’s a big logistical hunt for your first one. Should be successful though once you figure it all out.

Rifle hunting for musk ox is not difficult once you find a mature bull (you really need to learn how to identify one). If you bowhunt then musk ox are a perfect quarry!
