The camp consists of three cabins, all heated by oil stoves. There are two hunters to a cabin with only 4 hunters in the camp at a time. Beds and foam mattresses are provided but do bring a sleeping bag. Food is prepared hot and fresh each day by your camp cook, perfect after a long day of hunting.
You will be transported on a sled, pulled by a snowmobile. This provides superb mobility and allows you to look over many muskoxen. If you would rather pilot your own snowmobile there is the option of renting your own snowmobile as well. Hunts are available from March through April. The days are long and temperatures comfortable.
Schedule:
You will be greeted at the Cambridge Bay airport by someone from our team and taken into Cambridge Bay to your hotel. After you have checked in we’ll go over to the wildlife office to get your hunting licenses. The following morning we’ll head out of town towards Parry Bay where the camp is located. It is about a 100-mile snowmobile ride which takes approximately six to eight hours. The following days will be spent hunting from the cabins at our camp. On the day before your flight is scheduled to leave Cambridge Bay you will pack up and head back to town. Once in town you will get your export permits from the wildlife office and stay the night in the hotel. You’ll head for home the following day.
