“…Prior to the introduction of the snowmobile and rifle, archaeological data (Benedict, 2005;Grønnow, 1986;Friesen, 2013) and oral histories (Stewart et al, 2000(Stewart et al, , 2004 indicate that Arctic hunters relied heavily on ambush hunting from blinds to capture large ungulates like caribou, muskoxen, and moose. The introduction of the snowmobile, however, dramatically changed hunting strategies, as long trips to hunting sites were replaced by fastpaced day trips on snowmobiles (Condon et al, 1995).…”
