One of the more exotic opportunities for species in Alaska will be found with Muskox. These ancient animals were once heavily prevalent in Alaska but had completely disappeared byt he 1920s. In 1930, 34 muskox were transplanted from Greenland to Nunivak Island in Alaska. Since then the animals have been translocated to other portions of the state and by 2000 there was an estimated 4,000 muskox in the state.
Draw odds are steep for muskox hunts and physically reaching the hunting areas can be very expensive. Still, thousands of hunters toss their names into the hat each year hoping for a small opportunity to chase these incredible animals.
