RE: March 2009 Musk Ox Bowhunt
 

Thanks guys! We are cooking up some of the ox now. We are making a curry that has been in the crock pot since 10 this morning. We should be eating around 6. [8D] I've been picking bits of meat out of there and it is GOOOOOOD! I've had it a couple of times before, and I really liked it then. We are going to finish butchering here in about an hour. I think about a third of their body weight has got to be the hide and head. The hide alone took up about a quarter of my 25 cu foot freezer.

Zach, during the winter these guys stick around the tops of the hills (they call them mountains down there). They keep pretty wind swept and they can forage. The fat was very thick on them, so they seemed to be very healthy. Back in Mekoryuk, they have some trucks, but they are all buried to the roof's right now in snow. During thewinter all they use are snowmachines. The snow definately gets deep there.

Where the hell have you been? My arctic fox reversable thong you made for me back in '99 is about wore thin, I need another one whenever you can get around to it.
