2026 Combo Hunts

We are pleased to offer these exciting hunts on Baker Lake, Nunavut (Geographic centre of Canada) starting the last week of August. Hunt with the owner and family of Henik lake Adventures.We will be entering into our 20^th year of operation and I am pleased to offer a fall combo Muskox and caribou hunt in a new area at comfortable remote camp with a kitchen/dining cabin, Sleep cabins for guests with diesel heat, hot showers, home cooked meals and big sturdy boats with ATV’s on board to get you to hunting areas safely and comfortably.

Our Muskox /Caribou hunts start from the community of Baker Lake, Nunavut which is roughly 1000 miles north of Winnipeg Manitoba. Major airlines like Delta, United, Air Canada and WestJet fly into Winnipeg daily making this starting location very easy to get to. Baker Lake is accessible via scheduled airline from Winnipeg and this cost is also included in your package. Baker Lake is where civilization ends and your adventure starts.

We hunt where the animals are, moving constantly until all our hunters are successful in the quest to harvest these amazing creatures. We will cruise the shorlines of Baker Lake We will travel by boat and ATV between 10 and 40 miles per day in search of the game you seek. Every aspect of this hunt is completely detailed and nothing left to chance.

Late summer and early fall will find these magnificent animals near the lake, along the rivers and throughout the Baker Lake area.

The animals in this area are of the Barren Ground sub species of Muskox. These animals are larger than their island cousins by about 10-15% in body and horn size. On average, well over 80% of Muskox taken by hunters will meet or exceed the Boone & Crockett minimum requirements. Our area is ideal habitat for muskox and as well as caribou as three (3) different caribou herds migrate through the area. The caribou subspecies are the Central Barren Ground Caribou.

These hunts are done by experienced guides handpicked by Owner/Guide, Ryan St. John. Ryan has been outfitting for 19 years and excited to be back guiding hunts for 3 weeks per year. These are very limited hunts with only 30 spots available per season.

After your bull is down, your guide will field prep your meat and trophy. Animals will be skinned as per hunter’s request (shoulder mount, full size, European etc.), while the meat will be deboned. The hunter is welcome to take as much meat home with them, but in most cases because of plane restrictions regarding freight, we suggest a 50lb limit of backstraps, tenderloins and choice cuts which can be brought back on the plane with you to Winnipeg as excess baggage.

Any meat left behind by the hunters will be donated to the communit. This kind gesture doesn’t go unnoticed, and is very much appreciated by the Elders in Baker Lake.
