Hello All,
I posted a similar topic in the Germany hunting picture spot, which was not the correct location I don't think. I have several questions in hopes of learning more about hunting in Europe. Someday I hope to be able to hunt in Germany or one of the other countries in Europe. My family ancestry is from Germany, so I have been reading on hunting there the most, but now reading on Sweden, Austria and Finland too. While I have lots of questions, I will try to keep them shorter for now.
First, what would be the best country to do your first hunt at? Interested in Wild boar, Waterfowl and maybe deer. Also, would love to do pike fishing while there. I can speak some German, but VERY limited and poor, so not sure what country I would have the best odds to overcome communication. Second question, is actually the one I am most interested in. How does one learn the customs and traditions ahead of time to ensure you show respect to the animals and the people for the country in which you will be hunting? I love how Europe and Africa show respect, knowledge and tradition to the sport of hunting. If you watch shows from North America it is sad IMO on how they act and treat both the cultures and the animals.
Would renting a firearm be the smartest or is bring a rifle or shotgun not as troublesome as one thinks? If a person did bring a rifle are there Remington and Winchester rifles there in case a part was needed?
Getting long winded already, so will ask my last question for now. How does a hunt say in Germany charge for a boar hunt? Is it by animal based on size or is it total animals?
I really appreciate any guidance that anyone has.
Thanks
