Outdoor Channel 1st Reported: In August 2013, Brian Keith traveled from his home state of Texas to the Contwoyto Lake region of the Nunavut Territory in Canada to hunt muskox. Muskox are often hunted in the bitter cold of winter or early spring on the islands of northern Canada. This hunt, however, was on the mainland and during the summer, which can make for more pleasant, and exciting, stalking opportunities. On the fifth day of Brian’s hunt, a successful stalk paid off and yielded this extraordinary bull muskox.
The bull has an initial score that narrowly surpasses the current P&Y World’s Record. The current World’s Record Muskox is a tie:
127 2/8 – Coppermine, Nunavut – 1996 – Bob Black
127 2/8 – Coppermine, Nunavut – 1998 – William L. Cox
Mr. Keith’s muskox has an initial entry score that is 2/8 of an inch higher than the current World’s Record. It is yet subject to Panel Judging verification, which may change the final accepted score for a variety of reasons, including unusual shrinkage, initial mis-measurement, etc. This muskox is entered into the current, ongoing 29th Recording Period—the biennium representing entries accepted into the P&Y Records Program from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.
