Germany Hunting Pictures

We recently had falconers in our concession to scare away crows -as long as they still have hunting season-, which permanently chop up the silage bales of one of our farmers and thereby spoil the feed for his cows.

If such a bird kills prey from a swarm, then this is scared away for 14 days.

It was really an interesting afternoon with our friends and one of their hunting birds.
Are there any falconers here in the forum?
If so, what birds do you have?
And pics please.

They are strong protected.
I see them with mixed feelings.
Because we have no wilderness in Germany anymore.
But the green politic says, we have to accept it.
Over 300 Wolves are living here.
Incidents with cattle and dogs are often.
And the local press is mostly silent.
The mood of the lovely and harmless wolves musn't change.

Nine years ago I wrote that there are around 300 wolves living in Germany.
Now monitoring data for 2022/23 shows that there are already 1,400 wolves.
The protection status has been changed from "strictly protected" to "protected" by the EU Parliament this month.
However, a rethink only took place in Brussels when the old pony of EU President Ursula von der Leyen was killed by wolves on her home farm in Niedersachsen/Hannover .
When the powerful suffer, it is always different from when a normal farmer has to make the sacrifice.

A superb driven hunt last weekend in the Sauerland of North Rhein Westfalia Germany, sunny & dry with a bumper bag of 24 wild boar, 8 roe deer (all female), 5 fox and 4 racoons and a red deer calf - picked up the following day after 6 kilometers of superb tracking by the dog team (high front leg shot)! The largest wild boar weighed in at 92 kgs dressed. I was shooting a Rigby Highland Stalker in .275 Rigby shooting 140 grain Hornadys. A great day out with a super rifle in hand, hard to beat! Waidmannsheil!

What a beautiful thread!! Glad I found it.
 
Had a fun days shooting with family & friends on arable grounds near us. Some 35 guns, 10 dogs (our English springers, a Munsterlaender, 2 German wirehairs & 2 German shorthairs). We shot the morning & afternoon with a break for lunch & coffees. Finally tally was some 26 wild hare & 2 cock pheasant for too many shots to count! Was a great day out & the dogs had a good run & worked hard! Here some photos to tell the tale ......

With the weather turning cold & snow on the ground the pigs are out and about foraging for food. Couple of nice eating hoglets ( 18 kgs & 16 kgs dressed out ) over the last few days ,,,, pulled pork, schnitzel & goulash ! The top pic a sow (taken tonight) & the second pic a young boar. Happy days !

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
