TROPHY HUNTING IN GREENLAND
In Greenland, hunting is done according to the terms and limitations set by nature, demanding great adaptability and a willingness to see one’s personal limits tested, if you wish to pursue a trophy animal in cooperation with a local hunter. The huge distances and vast open spaces will also make the hunter feel he or she is one with nature.
Hunters make sure nothing goes to waste, as the delicious meat will either go to different institutions in town or local people. Leaving the most valuable part is unheard of.
TROPHY HUNTING IN WEST GREENLAND
Trophy hunting in West Greenland is for the most part concentrated around the area of Kangerlussuaq. Here you almost land right on top of your prey at the small international airport which provides access to the area and the hinterland around the town.
In Kangerlussuaq during the winter hunting season, you have an opportunity to travel by dog sled and experience traditional hunting as it is still practiced by hunters from both Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut. Trophy hunting by dog sled combines the feel of the winter landscape, the closeness of the dog team and their handler in a way you won’t find in any other place in the world.
During the summer months and the fall transportation to the hunting grounds is usually done by taking a boat up the fiord and up one of the rivers. But you may also be flown by helicopter straight to your guide’s hunting grounds.
During both seasons the main focus is on the large game such as reindeer and musk oxen, but smaller game may also be included in a hunting trip as you will have an opportunity to hunt hare, fox and ptarmigan in the area as well.
Besides the trophy hunting in Kangerlussuaq, there are great opportunities for hunting reindeer and smaller game deep into the Nuuk fiord system. The fiord is known as an area with a large number of reindeer and is an area favoured by subsistence hunters as well as recreational hunters.
The huge distances and vast open spaces will also make the hunter feel he or she is one with nature.

TROPHY HUNTING IN SOUTHERN GREENLAND
South Greenland is known as the breadbasket of Greenland, and the local population have, way back since the very first immigrants arrived, known of the region’s rich rivers full of Arctic Char. In modern times, both reindeer and musk oxen have been moved to the area, and herds have now grown to a size that permits trophy hunting.
Great summer and fall hunting of musk ox and reindeer in the Ivittuut area, around Isortoq and on the island of Tuttuooq in Southern Greenland provides opportunities for trophy hunting of semi-domestic reindeer. And additionally as an extra bonus, boating to and from the hunting grounds takes one past large and small icebergs. The icebergs come from the surrounding fiords, or they have drifted down from the Arctic Ocean along the East Coast of Greenland.
