I wouldn't think they'd be looking for orcs and trolls around Dunland. As far as I know, that land was free of such creatures excepting Sauron's march into Eriador in the Second Age, and of course Saruman's later excursions into orc-man eugenics.
A simple hunting foray into the area is possible, I guess. But if that was the case those Rivendelves sure went far afield to get the best game.
