Having done this very hunt myself, I take exception to the accusations put forward by @Sarg and @Rakman. Because: The fees are communicated up front via a pdf pricelist/brochure The price for the taxidermy work itself is reasonable The price for shipping out of Greenland is reasonable, given...

Easy enough: Find a plane from wherever you happen to be living, to Copenhagen (CPH) From Copenhagen (CPH) fly Air Greenland direct to Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) or via Nuuk (GOH) https://www.airgreenland.dk/ Do yourself a favor and set aside some days to see the places you happen to be passing through.

Less is more Ask what the guide and other people in the group will be carrying, and scale down your kit accordingly. The only exception would be a small first-aid kit, to be carried by each person at all times.

In my personal experience: If the stock fits me badly, any minor change in posture, cheek weld, hold etc. affects shot placement noticeable If the stock fits me well, there is little I can do to not hit the target - within reason ;-)

I hunted caribou this autum in the Kangerlussuaq area. You will find my trip report, along with a handful of others in the "Greenland Hunt" thread: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/greenland-hunt.84421/page-5#post-1513760

The Sauer 202 is the sort of rifle people buy and keep using as their primary hunting rifle until they cease hunting due to old age, at which point they pass it on to the next generation. The safety on the Sauer 202 is unusual, you make it unsafe/ready to fire, by pressing upward on a button...

That style of skull mounting was popular in several European countries until it fell out of fashion approximately a hundred years ago. it is quite common to see that style of mount on display in houses that has been in the same family for centuries. A web search for something like "old hunting...

How much does your current case weight? A sturdy case, with sturdy hinges and locks, wheels and plenty of high quality foam, will always have some mass to it. I use a Nanuk 985 for hunting trips that involves airtravel. The case has ample room for a disassembled rifle, scope, suppressor...

Every person I speak to, who have lived and worked inside what is now the National Park, have had amazing stories to tell. It is quite rare these days to get such an opportunity. I hope to visit East Greenland myself some day. The old huts in North-East Greenland dating from the commercial...

The Muskoxen in the Kangerlussuaq area are indeed not native to the area. They were introduced in the 1960'ties, with animals moved from Nort-East Greenland. In the Kangerlussuaq area the Caribou are of the species "Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus" which has been native to the area since...

I hunted with Erik Lomholt this Autumn, in the Kangerlussuaq area of Greenland. The hunt took place just west of the inland ice. The camp had a clear view of the Russell Glacier Erik has wast experience hunting, fishing and dog sledding in the area. His employees are dedicated and skilled in...

Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg come across as a nobleman, in the truest sense of the word. It is good to see that such people have not been hunted to extinction.

On a recent hunting trip, I brought only the phone. During the hunt I enjoyed the lighter load. After the trip, when looking at the mobile-phone pictures, I regret not bringing the good camera and lenses.
