Hello everyone,
allow me to introduce myself:
I'm Jim and stumbled across your forum a lot of times before. Now I decided to register because I'm always interested in learning new aspects of hunting, especially if it's a completely different country.
My origin is Stuttgart in the south of Germany, I'm 26 years old and at the moment I'm studying urban planning.
At the age of 14 I started to be interested in hunting after my cousin took me sometimes out in the woods. When winter and driven hunt season came, I became a driver (I don't know if that's correct- I helped at driven hunts walking through the forest).
As the years went by I finally decided to join hunting class. After my succesfull exam I was directly invited to a driven hunt of an old friend the next weekend and could shoot my first wildboar, an Überläufer with 35kg. I can still remember every detail of this hunting day, like the bushes in front of me, where they were lying the whole day- driving me insane because I couldn't do anything. My first weapon on this hunt was an old Sauer&Sohn Drilling cal. 8x57IRS and 16/70, borrowed from my cousin.
Since about 2 years now I got the great opportunity to hunt in the area of my small heritage village on roe deer, fox, crows and (since this year after it became legal) geese too.
It's a nice place consisting of about 30% forest and 70% fields and the atmosphere is great, together we're 4 hunters who get really good along with each other.
Now, what do I expect from my registration here?
Like I mentioned I'm always interested in learning new stuff, especially in hunting there's always something you haven't seen before. This winter I tried to build a tenterfield fox whistle out of a peanut can, but somehow I messed up. I think the can was too thin so it got compressed everytime and my tunes sounded everytime different. But if it works like in some youtube videos, it will be a nice addition for my rabbit and mice calls.
Additionally, I think maybe it could help improving my english skills a little bit- since english education in school there are several years gone since then and now.
So if you've got any questions, how hunting in Germany works for example, please feel free and don't hesitate, I will give my best to answer properly.
Before you ask, the dog in my profile picture is a Rauhaarteckel (americans call them wiener dogs
), unfortunatelly she isn't mine but my cousins and I also spend a lot of time with them hunting. Since I've got only a small flat, I can't own my own but I'm looking forwards, sooner or later there will be the time.
So on, best regards and Waidmannsheil!
Jim
