Yes that’s the type of hunting I am referring to.
Totally addictive
it’s is unfair to compare shooting standard demonstrated in this video. He is somebody i am acquainted with because he is an Olympic trap shooter - Franz-Albrecht.
He is an ambassador currently for Aimpoint and he is very natural to this type of shooting.
I know a lot of you will moan about the safety aspect of shooting fast moving targets in a wooded environment.
If you look up hunting accidents in Germany please , virtually none existent.
Cannot say that for France , Italy and Spain. That’s a different ball game.
I refuse to hunt in Italy unless it’s private and I know everybody for that reason.
T o get a “Jaghschein” German hunting licence is extremely difficult.
One does not do a Walt Disney on line course and pay. It’s a long long process
To maintain it there is a shooting test in front of your peers - EVERY SEASON.
Different pass mark for different federal states. I think the lowest is 75%. One percent below and you are out. No negotiations.
some states are 85%
Driven hunt is a culture in Europe and not just an event
there is the unspoken etiquette
there is the attire
there is atmosphere and after hunt events ....
nobody talks about calibres or brands of firearms because by the time you have your licence you will be pretty proficient with whatever you will be hunting with and most important - you have the confidence.
season starts September till last day of January
typical hunter will participate in 20 - 30 days of hunting a season
there are commercial hunts and they are expensive - 2000 - 3000 euros a day is not uncommon
of course the secret is to be invited. That’s another story
in the 90’s and 2000 on British shooting forums there were hundreds or thousands of hunters poo poo this type of hunting.
Not to mention their hate of the German culture.
I can tell you currently up till 2019 all driven hunts from English outfitters are fully booked and nobody mentions how expensive or how dangerous it is.
so that’s what I am trying to say.
It’s a culture and you need to adapt to it. Totally addictive and socially acceptable
Now you understand why if there is a cull order from the Bundesforste, it’s going to be free for all
In 2014 , hunters harvested 60,000 boars between 8500 registered participates. I was lucky to have been invited.
if Germany declares I am told up to 600,000 boars will be culled.
now somebody need to create a false flag diversion for Greta in the Southern Hemisphere.
where is that Australian fellow on this forum ?
