HUNT & HIKE
– FALLOW DEER in Sweden
Join us - Trine and Rikke - on an atmospheric hunting trip in the heart of Swedish nature. Here we hunt fallow deer in an area we've hunted for years and know like our own backyard. It's a journey where the hunt is about much more than the trophy - it's about the whole: the tranquility of the forest, the smell of the campfire and the special community that develops from the moment we sneak out of the tent for the morning hunt until we sit together in the evening and share 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 deer 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 preparing, field dressing and cooking your own piece of 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 wildgame's terms. You hunt directly from your tent, in the middle of the terrain, and are always close to the action.
The programme extends over three hunting days with a total of five outings where you are guided by us and chaperoned. 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 teams so far have been successful on the first outing. This trip is not the hunt for the trophy, but rather an experience focused on the hunt itself and the presence in nature.
WILD
We offer quality hunts for fallow deer and calf 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 particular nuisance. Our population is healthy and every year we see mature fallow bucks with a wide and characteristic spread, and fallow does in the best condition. It's an old strain, so we typically see a good age of deer, which also means that we have many wallowing areas in the area 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 in the many lush 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 feeding grounds to attract the does. Hunting them during the rut is 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 major city. 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 kiosk 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 travel time in Sweden to about two hours.
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.
My 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 butcher and skin on the ground without wasting meat, as well as how to prepare meat for shoulder or full mount.
At camp, there is always a campfire where we create coziness 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.

LOGI
The camp consists of charming cotton tents that are set up directly on the forest floor and blend naturally into the surroundings. 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 coziness by firing up the stove in the tent. Evenings are spent around the fire, enjoying the glow of the flames, sharing stories about the day's hunting adventures and preparing meals from the game we have hunted in the area. The atmosphere is intimate and the community strong, making every hunting trip an unforgettable experience.
Customer experience: Henrik on his hunt
Early customer Henrik shares his experiences of hunting fallow deer in Sweden with Hunt & Hike:
"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 the hunt.
We give our warmest recommendations to Hunt & Hike - an experience that delivers both great hunting experiences and unforgettable memories."

When Hunting Becomes a Family Experience 🫎
We had the pleasure of welcoming a family of five to Canada on a moose hunt - and this trip turned into something truly special, where everything just came together. When the shot rang out, the whole family was literally sitting on the sidelines, and we'll never forget the cheer that followed! 👏🏼
For a while, we became part of this wonderful family, and the joy continued in the days that followed as we shared both the experience and the moose meat. The kitchen turned into a playground of creativity with all kinds of fun and delicious dishes - all centred around moose. 🥩
Thank you for bringing such great energy and enthusiasm - even when hunting might not come naturally to everyone in the family. It was truly a pleasure sharing this experience with you! 💛

Everything doesn't always go as planned - and this hunt was no exception. But wow, did it give us stories to tell and even a great new friend! 🏔️
Allan truly experienced what Canada is all about - the good and the tough. From climbing steep mountains to pushing through thick brush for hours (and even losing his Blaser magazine and trigger because of that thick brush..), we hunted hard, and he absolutely earned this one. 🐑
Can't wait to hunt with you again, Allan. Thanks for the adventure - it was an unforgettable time! 🤍

Another fall season in Canada has come to an end - We have had a successful time on our moose hunts aswell, and met many amazing hunters through out the whole season. 🍂
Wrapping it all up, and heading home to Denmark preparing the rest of the year for more hunting adventures. 🖐🏼
See you out there 💛
Rikke & Trine
A successful stretch of our moose hunts is behind us - just one more left before we head home and kick off our Swedish adventures 💛
We'll give you a full update on every hunt once we're back to civilisation, because this fall has definitely brought its fair share of adventures! 🏔️
Now we're heading out for our post-Rud moose hunt, and we can't wait to finish off the season with some cold weather and lifting bulls! 🫎
See you out there in the wild!

That's it for mountain goats for now - we're fully focused on moose hunting from here on out. A mature 8-year-old billy was recently taken, and as always, guiding hunters in the mountains is an incredible experience. ⛰️🐑

This year, we celebrated our birthday for the 5th year in a row in the Canadian wilderness. For once, we actually guided a moose together! 🫎 A huge thank you for all the birthday wishes - they warmed our hearts all the way to the Canadian cabin.
Hugs from both of us 💚

Experiencing Canada with you, Dad, was an adventure!
17 days - just the three of us, out in the mountains, where no one could reach us.
We savoured every moment to the fullest. Thank you. 🤍
More about that trip later... now full speed ahead with our hunting guests the next couple of months 🇨🇦
