HUNT & HIKE
– a MOOSE 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 passion to hunting in this pristine wilderness. Although we have hunted across several continents, Canada is where we find the most impressive trophies and the greatest adventures. We offer tailor-made moose hunting trips and we’re with you every step of the way – from booking to hunting to dropping you off at the airport.
Trine & Rikke Wagner Jacobsen
We offer quality Canadian moose hunts with a very high success rate in the most beautiful surroundings. The average spread of our bull moose is 45-55 inches, and some even reach 60 inches. Every year we see more and more mature trophy bulls, and the extent of our guide territory allows us to offer several different types of moose hunts without sacrificing the quality of the hunt or the quality of the moose.
THE HUNT
Since we offer tailor-made moose hunting experiences, we can customize the hunt to suit your exact wishes. Depending on the time and how you want to put together your dream trip, moose hunting can take many different forms. Here we’ve outlined some of the options available, but they’re not set in stone. We tailor each hunt to suit your preferences – creating a truly personal and unique experience.
HUNTING FROM HORSEBACK
Moose hunting on horseback offers an authentic and thrilling experience, allowing us to access remote areas and spot bull moose from a distance. The horses enable us to cover vast terrain efficiently while providing excellent visibility of the landscape. After a successful shot, they also assist in transporting the game back to camp – best companions when you hunt such a huge animal.
HUNTING FROM BOAT
Moose hunting from boat provides a different and beautiful hunting experience as we navigate through the large lakes and rivers in the hunting area. Bull moose often come down to the water to drink during the rutting season, giving us a unique opportunity to spot them from the boat. This hunt is less physically demanding, but still incredibly exciting as we get close to the wild nature and get a completely different perspective on the landscape.
HUNTING FROM HIGHSTAND
Moose hunting from highstand provides an exciting and strategic hunting experience where you can monitor large areas and spot bull moose from a distance. The highstands are placed in carefully selected locations where bull moose often pass, especially during the rutting season, giving you a perfect view of the landscape, giving you a clear advantage when choosing the right time and the best shot opportunity.
HUNTING PERIODS
September – October
During the rutting season we have the opportunity to attract bull moose
by imitate the cows with our cow calls or playing paddles. The bull moose get closer
and provide an intense hunting experience where the chance of a shot
at close range is high. We primarily recommend hunting from higstands or
hunting from boat being near water, but the hunt can also be combined with horseback,
where we ride futher into the mountains to cover other areas.
October – November
The post-rutting moose hunt is physically challenging,
as temperatures often drop to freezing. During this period
the bull moose migrate further up into the mountains, gathering strength
after the rut. We use the horses to cover the large
areas and set up camp in the mountains, which allows us
to follow the bull moose in their highland bedding and gain
access to more remote and undisturbed areas.
The area
Our hunting area is located in British Columbia and covers almost 16,000 square kilometers. This area is very special – both because of the rich game population and the unique variety of hunting terrain. The hunting area stretches across three separate mountain ranges, and although we hunt here year-round, it’s impossible to explore everything in a lifetime. The western part of the area offers dramatic, glacier-clad mountains, while the rolling alpine hills in the east create a beautiful contrast. Everywhere you’ll find river valleys covered in willow and old burn areas that create optimal living conditions for moose. The rivers and mild climate make the area particularly attractive to moose during the rutting season. As the temperature drops and the rut fades, the bulls begin to migrate to the higher mountains where they gather in bachelor groups. Our hunting area thus offers a wealth of hunting experiences that celebrate the diversity and variety of nature.
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.

Accommodation
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 landing, sorting out the logistics and getting ready for the hunting adventure the next day. 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 logcabin aswell that serves as our backcountry camp. Here too there is electricity and a hot shower, this is where we ride out.
CABIN
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, allowing you to experience the many facets of the landscape, from the lush valleys to the more dramatic mountainsides. The cabins offer a comfortable stay so you are 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 wood-burning stoves, which are carried out from horseback. 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 the type of tent, you get close contact with nature and a true wilderness hunt.

What do our CUSTOMERS say ?
Kyle
“We hunted hard and found an amazing bull on the fifth day after a long horseback ride in the mountains. The hunt fell into place and we took down a huge bull from just 15 meters away – thanks to Trine’s impressive hunting instinct. This was the best hunt I’ve ever been on, and I’m grateful to have shared the experience with someone I respect and consider a friend. Trine and Rikke are not just great hunters – they are also incredible people with a true passion for nature. I can’t recommend them enough!”
Steve
“Rikke guided me on my successful moose hunt in Canada in 2021. Right from the start, I was impressed by her knowledge of the game and her excellent skills as a hunter in the wild. She took my hunting success personally and always went the extra mile to give me the best chances. Rikke always made sure we had a clear plan and strategy so we were completely aligned throughout the hunt. When I return to Canada for another moose hunt in 2024, I will be full of confidence – because Rikke will be my guide again!”
Kyle
“In 2021, my father and I went to British Columbia for an elk hunt. I had the privilege of hunting with Trine for the majority of the 10 days and I was really impressed with her hunting skills, humor and positive outlook on life. We ended up bagging an amazing bull on the 10th day and had a great time the whole way through.”
“I met Rikke and Trine in 2021 during an elk hunt in British Columbia and was impressed by their professionalism and hunting skills. I returned to British Columbia this fall in 2023 and specifically asked the outfitter to have Rikke as my guide for the entire ten days of hunting. During the hunt, Rikke gave 100 percent of her effort to ensure I was successful.”

33, young and free.. 🇩🇰
Celebrated our thirty-third birthday once again in the mountains, guiding on mountain goat and moose.
Thanks for all the thoughts and birthday wishes. We`ll be sharing updates from all our hunts whenever time allows. When we’re out in the mountains with clients, there’s very little time spent on the phone — just as it should be.
See you in the wild. 🏔️
Let’s kick things off with a little reel down memory lane. 🫎🏔️🐑
Wishing you all the best of luck this season - Knæk & bræk.

Around this time of year, we normally cross the Atlantic together and start the fall 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.
Vi ses snart søs! ♥️

#huntingseason
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. 🪶
