A limited musk ox hunt will be available in a portion of the North Slope this summer for the first time since the animals were reintroduced to the region decades ago.
Subsistence hunters living in several North Slope communities — Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Utqiagvik, Nuiqsut, Point Hope, Point Lay and Wainwright — have until Friday to apply for one of the six permits to hunt musk ox this year. Hunters who draw the permit will be able to harvest one animal each in the western portion of Game Management Unit 26A, specifically west of Admiralty Bay where the Alaktak River enters, following the Alaktak River south to the unit border.
Point Hope hunter Steve Oomittuk said that hunting musk ox will bring residents an additional subsistence food source. “When we were growing up, there was hardly any musk ox,” Oomittuk said. “The population of musk ox is at the highest right now.”
