HUNT & HIKE
– a MOUNTAIN GOAT in Canada
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 mountain goat hunting trips and we’re with you every step of the way – from booking to hunting to dropping you off at the airport.
We have access to a unique territory in British Columbia, home to some of the densest population of mountain goats in the world – 90% of the world’s mountain goats are found in this region. Our area contains some of the most productive habitat in the province, and a network of primitive trails and small cabins allow us to reach even the most remote valleys on horseback or on foot.
THE HUNT
Mountain goat hunting is a true mountain hunt and requires both stamina and a sense of adventure. It’s one of the most demanding hunts you can experience – often involving steep mountain climbs and long days in rough terrain. But that’s what makes it so unique and unforgettable. With us, we offer tailor-made hunting experiences so that your mountain goat hunt can be adapted to your wishes, your experience level and your physical condition. Depending on the season, terrain and your preferences, the hunt can take place in several different ways – and you can combine the elements to make your trip your own.
HUNTING FROM HORSE
The horses take you deep into the remote hinterland and save your strength until it really matters – when your “billy” is spotted and the mountains need to be climbed. During the hunt, the horses help cover large distances and reduce the need for demanding walks. When the meat has to be transported back from the steep heights, the horses are absolutely crucial – and that part of the journey often becomes an experience of a lifetime in itself.
HUNTING FROM A BOAT
In some areas, the hunt takes place from a boat, where we sail through lakes and rivers to spot the goats on the high slopes around the water. This is a less physically demanding form of hunting, but still full of intensity and impressions of nature. From here, we can safely spot and plan the best approach to the animal, often with an unforgettable view of the landscape.
HUNTING FROM 4X4
From base camp, we drive out into the terrain and find the best vantage points, where we have an overview of the mountainsides and can spot mountain goats from a distance. Once we have identified a goal, the ascent starts directly from there. Our 4×4 vehicles allow us to cover large distances quickly. This provides a dynamic hunting experience, where we combine both the convenience of base camp with the challenging mountaineering. It is an ideal way to access the hunting areas while still keeping the hunt intensive.
HUNTING PERIODS
August – September
The hunting season for mountain goats extends from the end of August to September. The further we get into the season, the more difficult the hunt becomes. At this time of year, you can experience the transformation on the mountain peaks, where they go from lush to snowy. For the snow goats, however, this is not a problem, as they typically move at the same height throughout the season. However, we have seen a few goats move down into the valleys. Many people think that the skin of mountain goats is better towards the end of the season, but the difference is not as significant as you might think. The biggest difference lies in the difficulty of the hunt – which becomes more challenging the further we get into the season. So no matter what time of the season you choose to hunt, you will have an unforgettable experience.
The area
Our hunting area is located in British Columbia and covers almost 16,000 square kilometers, which is twice the size of Zealand. 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 willow-covered river valleys and old burn areas.
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 shelter due to bad weather and have good 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.

What do our CUSTOMERS say ?
Henrik
“Hunting in BC for mountain goat, I was guided by Rikke and Trine, who impressed me in all areas – including their hunting and wilderness knowledge, dedication, tenacity, humor and mental and physical strength. We were in the mountains for 10 days and finally managed to bag a mnt goat. It was clear that it was important to Trine and Rikke that I had a good trip and success with the journey, and they made an almost unbelievable effort to make it happen. Can be 100% recommended.”

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! ♥️

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 🏔️
