HUNT & HIKE
– a BLACK BEAR in Canada
We are HUNT & HIKE
At Hunt & Hike, with Trine and Rikke as experienced hunting guides, we specialize in this particular hunting area in Canada. We bring a deep commitment and great passion to the hunt in this pristine wilderness. Although we have hunted across several continents, it is in Canada that we find the most impressive trophies and the greatest adventures. We offer tailor-made hunting trips for black bears, and we are with you all the way – from booking to hunting and until we drop you off at the airport again.
We offer premium black bear hunting experiences with high success rates in some of the most beautiful natural areas. In British Columbia, bait hunting is prohibited – a rule we fully support. Our hunting method is based on spot-and-stalk, where the hunt is on the bear’s terms.
THE HUNT
You can choose between the classic method, where we drive through the terrain and spot bears, or a more challenging approach, where we move on foot with a tent on our backs deep in the mountains. No matter which form of hunting you choose or a combination of both, an authentic and exciting experience awaits. In the spring, the bears have just come out of the cave and are hungry for green grass. The south-facing cutblocks are where they prefer to be after a long winter hibernation. The bears are also in heat in the spring, and we see large boars at this time of year, which we rarely see at any other time. Having just come out of the cave, the bears are still wearing their full and thick winter coats. The bears are generally completely black, and many of them have the classic white “V” on their chests. There are also several brownish shades, including the characteristic “cinnamon” bear.
HUNTING FROM BASECAMP
The first form of hunting involves driving off-road with 4×4, where we spot bears from strategic lookout points. Once a suitable bear is located, a stalk is initiated. Often, the bears can also be seen grazing along the gravel road, allowing for a stalk directly from the car. During this form of hunting, you will stay comfortably in our base camp in wooden cabins, where our skilled chef will provide hot meals. In the evening, the hunters gather around the fire, enjoy a glass of whisky and share the day’s experiences.
HUNTING FROM SPIKE CAMP
The second type of hunting is more physically demanding. We drive to a trail and head out into the wilderness, surrounded by mountainsides and rivers. Here the hunt starts directly from the canvas or our spike camp. This hunt takes place later in the season when the greenery has sprouted and the bears are more active in the mountains. After spotting a bear of suitable size, the stalking begins on foot. Accommodation is in the tent camp where we prepare freeze-dried food over the fire.
No matter which form of hunting you choose, we adapt the experience to your wishes and needs.
HUNTING PERIODS
May – June
The hunting season runs from mid-May to early June and lasts five days.
-
Mid-May: Ideal for a comfortable hunt from basecamp, patrolling by pick-up truck and spotting bears in the south-facing hills where the grass sprouts first.
-
Early June: Nature is in full bloom and bears are more active in the mountains. If you want a challenging mountain hunt, this is the optimal time.
The area
Our hunting area is located in British Columbia and covers almost 16,000 square kilometers, which is twice the size of Zealand. The area is unique, not only for the diversity and quality of game, but also for the versatile hunting terrain it offers. The area contains 3 separate mountain ranges, and we can’t possibly hunt it all in a lifetime. The western part is characterized by rugged glacier-clad mountains, while in the east there are rolling alpine hills. Throughout the territory there are willow-covered river valleys and old burnt areas where berries and green grass grow well – something that attracts hungry bears after many months of hibernation.
The journey there
All our hunting trips begin in Prince George, British Columbia, which is easily accessible by flights from major international carriers like Air Canada and WestJet. We pick you up at 10:00 am at the Carmel Inn(www.carmelinn.ca) in Prince George the day before the hunt starts. The journey to basecamp takes around 6-8 hours by car and this is where the adventure begins. It’s a great opportunity to get to know each other as we slowly approach the start of the hunt in the stunning Canadian wilderness. To ensure you are well prepared, we recommend that you arrive in Prince George at least one day before the pickup. This way you can avoid any delays and be fully prepared for the hunting experience.

LOGI
When you arrive in Prince George, you’ll be met by us and picked up in a pickup truck before heading out to our base camp, located 6-8 hours into the mountains. We’ll spend the first evening relaxing, sorting out the logistics and getting ready for the hunting adventure ahead. We gather for a nice dinner, go through the practical details and take a trip to the shooting range so you feel confident and ready for the hunt.
Depending on your preferences, the hunt can be based in our basecamp, a remote cabin, a spike camp – or a combination of these. Below you can read more about the different types of stays
BASECAMP
Our basecamp is beautifully secluded on the shores of a tranquil lake, in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. Here you’ll find rustic yet comfortable cabins with wood-burning stoves and bunks. The basecamp is equipped with electricity and hot showers so you can relax and recharge after a day in the backcountry. We also have a secondary basecamp deeper in the wilderness – a charming 2-story log cabin that serves as our backcountry camp. Here too there is electricity and a hot shower, this is where we ride out.
HYTTE
Our hunting from cabins provides a comfortable experience as we are guaranteed dry weather and have better facilities. Each cabin is equipped with a wood-burning stove and mattresses so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and stay warm after a long day of hunting. We have carefully selected cabins that are strategically located in different parts of the terrain, close to the best hunting areas. This allows you to experience the many facets of the landscape, from the lush valleys to the more dramatic mountainsides. The cabins offer a comfortable stay, leaving you well rested and ready for the next day’s hunt.
SPIKECAMP
Our spike camp offers an authentic wilderness experience. Here we stay in either lightweight hiking tents carried on our backs or in wall tents with stoves carried out by horses. Wall tents provide a little extra comfort, while hiking tents offer a more primitive experience. Hiking tents can be used in all types of hunting if a spontaneous opportunity to take down a moose arises. Regardless of tent type, you get close contact with nature and a true wilderness hunt.

Our buffalo season is done for now, and we spent our last day in South Africa hunting guinea fowls and francolins before heading home to Denmark tomorrow. 🪽
Now it`s time to enjoy a few weeks with family and friends before our hunting season with clients starts again in mid-August.
Hope you`re all having a great summer! 🤍
Rikke & Trine
Caught a little moment between our client and his 8 year old daughter.
It`s not always about the hunt itself—sometimes it`s about the moments shared. These two is enjoying moments in South Africa.
This morning our client shot an old buffalo bull.
Pernille got her very first animal with us, and it was a real pleasure to be part of that experience. ♥️ After eating old buffalo bull for almost a week, it was nice to enjoy some tender impala meat for a change.
We skinned the impala so she could take it home as a lasting memory, and took the meat up to the mountain where we cooked it and enjoyed it with a great view.
Thank you.
BUFFALO HUNT
We`ve been eating buffalo almost every day out here in the bush. We gave it our best shot—buffalo steaks, buffalo nuggets, buffalo sticks, buffalo in lemon juice, and even a traditional South African potjie..
To be fair, an old buffalo bull isn`t exactly the finest meat in the world… but we do think that a big part of the adventure is to eat what we shoot.
We`ve had a great hunt with lots of good memories, and plenty of buffalo on the menu. Now it`s time to welcome the next family for another buffalo adventure. 💯
BUFFALO HUNT
Shot a 10+ year old dagga boy with our Danish client and his family. A beautiful old bull, but we have to admit... the meat is tough...
Buffalo steaks, a beautiful sunset, and our little camp up on the mountain in the thick South African bush. We`re all good. 🪶
Jacob came to Canada to hunt black bear with us and was fortunate enough to take this big old boar with Rikke.
A successful hunt and a lot of great memories to bring home.
Congratulations, Jacob — and to all our other hunting guests we’ve shared adventures with this spring season 🏔️
SPRING BEAR 2026
Thank you for all the little moments in the wild. 🪶
