Musky runs for his/her life.

Seems the Quebec Government had allowed a limited subsistence hunt of Musk ox in Nunavik. So I guess the lone one over this way decided to take a pass on that.

The story in Nunatsiaq News reports the heard has grown from the 52 released in 1983, to about 2000 today. Eight tags were issued to the two communities closest to the heard; the hunt was in designated areas. The limited hunt will be held for a five year period. It may or may not lead to a sport hunt.

If it does develop into a sport hunt, it would make for pretty dull sport. They'd just stand there, looking out of place...
