Hunting area near Nuuk

The terrain is very hilly, and one must be able to hike between 10 and 20 km per day, with up to 1000 meters of elevation gain. Here, it is the weather, the wind, and the animals that set the pace, and we are merely guests. In the areas we hunt, there is virtually no infrastructure, which naturally also requires proper safety equipment and signaling devices. The terrain is very uneven and in places quite inaccessible.

You should also expect to be able to carry your reindeer down from the mountain. A large bull can weigh between 75 and 100 kg. It is important to have good, well-broken-in hiking boots, as well as sensible hunting clothing that can withstand snow, rain, and sleet, but also sun and heat. The weather can be very changeable, so you can quickly find yourself caught with the wrong clothing.

The terrain is very open, so you should expect to shoot at slightly longer distances than in Denmark. Therefore, it would be a good idea to practice shooting at distances of up to 200–250 meters, if possible. The minimum allowed caliber for trophy hunting is 243 WIN. There is no requirement for soft-point ammunition, but it is recommended.

To make access easier, we always have a dinghy available, which is used to travel along the coast and spot animals. The guides often scout the areas in advance to assess where the chances are best – an approach that gives the hunt structure, calm, and the greatest opportunities for success.
