Prince of Wales Island, Northwest Territories, 1977. The Back Bay Muskox herd responded uniformly during 19% of the overflights. Four of the uniform responses involved loose group defense formations during the first two observations in June. Except when the herd all cantered and walked in August, the other eight uniform group responses were at the main- tenance activity level involving foraging and bedding. Although there was a trend for the maintenance level uniform responses to occur at the end of several days of simulated slinging, the temporal aspect of the trend was not consistent. Allen Lake Muskox Herd We located the Allen Lake herd on 18 July 1976 as they foraged on sedge meadows at the foot of an escarpment (see Figure 1). The herd included two.
