Hi,
quick introduction of myself, I'm a German hunter moving to Ontario soon.
Coming from a highly weapons law regulatated country moving to another highly weapons law regulated country forced me to sell all my precious rifles and handguns I aquired over time in Germany. I couldn't store them here nor export them without posessing the appropriate license in Canada yet. It really broke my heart. I assume every hunter will remember the equipment used to take an anmials life.
I will use this introduction post to remember them and share with you some thoughts about them:
Brunner CZ Super 12/70 7x65R
My most reliable rifle with 2 barrels (over-under) in 7x65R and an insert barrel in .22 hornet. Could take anything from rabbit, fox up to small wild boar. Used it even completly frozen in winter weather without any problems.
Keppeler KS V Hunter .308
The most precise hunting rifle I ever owned. Handmade by a small German arms manufacturer Keppeler. A masterpiece of hunting precision up to 500m with a Zeiss 3-12x56 scope with quick range adjustment ring on the scope calibrated to .308 win. The gun was featured in the not so well known movie The Hunter.
The company was founded by Dieter Keppeler. The engineer of the Walther WA2000. The WA2000 was seen in the 1987 James Bond movie The living daylights. The 'V' is roman for 5 as it is the fifth iteration/generation of this rifle since the 1970s. The WA2000 and all Keppelers KS afterwards were designed as a non-military sniper rifles for police forces after the terrorist attacks on the olympic games in Germany 1972. By that time the German police force didn't have any sniper rifles. Up to today the Keppeler KS V is available in a sniper configuration and a hunting configuration in different calibers. You will notice the 'strange' looking trigger, which is designed to be used with thick gloves, adjustable in position and trigger weight. The magazin is mounted at the side of the rifle to be changed without leaving a prone shooting position lying down using a bipod which is not mounted under the rifle, but on a cage over the barrel. The rifle stabilize by gravity with this unusual design. The extremly thick barrel holds precision even after repeated shots over long distances.
Mauser DWM 98 9,3x62
The go to rifle for driven hunts and night time hunting on wild boar. Increadibly reliable and enough punch to take down anything in northern europe, wild boar, red deer, fallow deer. With an additional driven hunt rail in case the barrel gets hot.
CZ Safari .458 Win Mag
The overkill on wild boar hunts in case I was alone out there at night with no backup. Purchased with the dream of an african safari that didn't materialize yet.
All rifles were equipped with night vision add on scopes. Even the .458 which required using magnum rings for the scope mount because of the additional weight.
Glock 19 9 mm Para IPSC
The reliable, light, simple no nonsense handgun for searches on wild boar in the bush at night. Mostly used for IPSC training.
Weihrauch Arminius HW 357 Hunter

I used this more often at night than the Glock for searches on wild boar in the thick bush. .357 magnum loaded with different bullets. 100% reliable, light and enough firepower if handled correctly. Hunting configuration with no safety, short barrel, silicon grip in case of rain. Fired reliably in even the worst conditions for short distance shots.
I will spare you guys the pictures of my German Puma White Hunter and Eickhorn KM 3000 hunting knifes I used here. Because of uncertainty on how Canadian customs handle them, I will also not bring them.
All of this had to go because of buerocratic regulations, punishing a law abiding gun owner.
I will miss all of them, remember every shot, every anmial.
Nevertheless, looking forward to learn the way of the hunter in North America now and might need advise from you all from time to time on the best equipment and regulations in Canada.
All the best, good hunting.
