HUNT & HIKE
FALLOW DEER in Sweden
Hunting trip with Presence, bonfires and wild game
Join us, Trine and Rikke, on an atmospheric hunting trip in the heart of Swedish nature. Here we will hunt fallow deer in an area we have hunted for several years and know like the back of our hand. It is a journey where the hunt is about much more than the trophy – it is about the peace and quiet of the forest, the smell of a campfire, and the special camaraderie that arises from the moment we creep out on the morning hunt until we sit together in the evening around the campfire, sharing stories about the day's experiences.
We give you the opportunity to live a wild hunting adventure in the great Swedish forests and glades. You can shoot the charismatic fallow buck, fallow doe and calf - as well as wild boar and fox. With us as your hunting guides and hosts, you get a unique chance to be involved in the entire hunting process. This includes the art of stalking, field dressing and cooking your own wild game.
THE HUNT
Our fallow deer hunt in Sweden is for those who want a genuine and down-to-earth hunting experience with a focus on good meat, closeness to nature and hunting on the game's terms. You hunt directly from your tent, in the middle of the terrain, and are always close to the action.
The hunt extends over three hunting days with a total of five to six outings where you are guided by us. We prioritise presence and time in the field over comfort and luxury. Many of our guests emphasise how much they enjoy the hunt itself and how it differs from more traditional hunting trips.
No meat is served unless you shoot it yourself - but this has never been a problem as all our hunting groups so far have been successful on their first outing. This trip is NOT a hunt for the trophy, but rather an experience focused on the hunt itself and the presence in nature.
FALLOW DEER
We offer quality hunts for fallow deer with a very high success rate in idyllic Sweden. In our area there is a large population of fallow deer, which has actually become a real nuisance. Our population is healthy and every year we see mature fallow bucks with a wide and characteristic spread and fawns in the best condition. We typically see a good age on our fallow bucks, which also means that we have many wallowing areas that are used again and again. The fallow deer stay in the dense bushes and dark deep forests, and in the early morning and late evening they move out to feed on the many green meadows.
HUNTING PERIODS
November - March
The rutting season for fallow deer extends from mid-October to the end of November. During this period, you can see the majestic fallow buck grunting at the wallowing areas to attract the females. Hunting them during the post rut is still an intense experience, but it can be just as exciting to stalk a large herd in an open field. Fallow deer in our area are numerous and you're sure to see them whether it's rutting season or not. In addition to fallow deer, it is also possible to combine hunting with wild boar and fox for a versatile and exciting hunting experience.
The area
Our area is beautifully situated between the two large Swedish lakes, Vänern and Vättern, with Mariestad as the nearest large town. Here you'll find a varied landscape ranging from dense coniferous forests to large open fields where fallow deer thrive. The idyllic red Swedish houses break the landscape here and there, and the terrain is a mix of flat areas and a few ridges. You can get up close to the fallow deer in the dense forests or sneak up on a herd in the lush open spaces.
The journey there
Transport to the hunting area is provided by the hunter. We meet at a small café about twenty minutes from our camp. From here we will guide you the rest of the way to the camp where we will spend the next three days together. The journey from Copenhagen takes about five hours, while from Jutland it's worth taking the ferry to Gothenburg, which reduces the journey time in Sweden to about two hours. If you come by plane it will make sense flying to Stockholm and rent a car from there. Here we'll be happy to help you planning your trip.
When you arrive at the camp, the hunting adventure begins immediately, depending on the time of day. There's plenty of time to get to know each other as we plunge into the Swedish idyll together. We welcome you to our small camp, where community and hunting experiences await.
Other activities
In addition to hunting fallow deer, this trip is also an opportunity to get closer as a group and immerse yourself in the craft of hunting. We have no fridge or butchery, so depending on your experience and interest, we offer workshops on how to handle meat in the wilderness. You can learn how to skin and fielddress on the ground without wasting meat, as well as how to prepare meat for shoulder or full mount.
At the camp there is always a campfire where we create cosiness and community. We share stories about hunting and learn from each other's experiences. It's an experience where both novice and experienced hunters can learn something new and build stronger bonds through the challenges and joys of hunting.

ACCOMMODATION

The toilet is simple and primitive, without water, giving an authentic experience of being close to nature. During the cold winter months, we create warmth and cosiness by firing up the stove in the tent. Evenings are spent around the fire, enjoying the glow of the flames, sharing stories about hunting adventures and preparing meals from the game we have shot throughout the trip. The atmosphere is intimate and the community strong, making every hunting trip an unforgettable experience.
Customer experience: Erik on his hunt
“Dear Rikke and Trine,
Thank you so much for a fantastic few days. We had high expectations, excited like little kids on Christmas Eve - so much so that our better halves tried to prepare us for the fact that it might not be quite what we hoped... But it was, it even far exceeded our expectations!
In you, we had two very professional hunting guides. You were skilled and knowledgeable and we learnt not only about game and hunting, but also about new and better hunting techniques. As people, you showed a high degree of integrity and it is clear that you are passionate about what you do. You are empathetic, personable and fun.
And the hunting area; it was crazy. There were deer everywhere! And moose, and wild boar, and roe deer.
Thank you so much for everything.
See you next year!”

What our CUSTOMERS SAY?
Henrik
"The hunt took place on the deer's terms in their natural environment - dense bushes and dark forests - which made it both challenging and exciting. It was magical to see the animals early in the morning and late at night in the vast grasslands. After the hunt, the tent camp and campfire was an experience in itself. Cooking and enjoying the food from our own hunt over an open fire gave a deep sense of connection to nature and the essence of hunting. We give our warmest recommendations to Hunt & Hike - an experience that delivers both great hunting experiences and unforgettable memories."

Around this time of year, we normally cross the Atlantic together and start the autumn season side by side in Canada. 🏔️
But this year, the beginning of the season will be a little different. We feel incredibly privileged to have such wonderful clients and to be so busy with our little company, which means that this time, we’ll be starting the season away from each other and on opposite sides of the world.
We flipped a coin – and today, it’s Trine’s turn to fly to Canada, where she’ll be guiding our first mountain goat hunter of the season.
Rikke will be starting the season in Sweden, where she’ll be guiding a good client and hunter who has travelled all the way from the United States.
Luckily, it will only be a few weeks before we’re reunited in Canada, where we’ll both continue the season guiding for both mountain goat and moose. 🫎🐑
It will feel a little strange to send Trine off on her own. For once, we might actually miss each other… just a little.
See you soon sis! ♥️

1TP5Hunting Season
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 are 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 memento, 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 🏔️
