My evidence is all hear say, but people are seeing more musk Ox. They are totally protected on mainland I believe. The hope is the herds will grow into sustainable population.

I do not know about growing, but I see them up north at times. I am not sure about protected on the mainland either, as you can hunt them, probably like drawing a buffalo tag though.
I think they are protected here, but your right they have lottery hnting. I just never of anyone hunting them except on Nelson island. But I hear from time people shooting them and then having to deal with game trooper.Quote:
