A few post hunt recommendations...

For anybody planning a hunt on Nunivak I highly recommend James Whitman as a transporter. James is a great guy and we really enjoyed his company.

We tried out TAG bags new BOMB (Boned Out Meat Bags) to see if we could fit a whole boned out ox in these unbelievably light weight game bags. They worked great and we had over 250 pounds of meat.

I've worn Kenetrek boots for years and once again they didn't disappoint. Stayed warm and comfortable in extremely cold conditions.

If you've never caped a musk ox, consider yourself lucky. It's a miserable chore. Their horns grow right along their cheeks, making it extremely difficult to skin. Use a thin razor type knife to get in their without making a mess. I used a Havalon Piranta and it worked great.
