Whats the correct way of doing the weidman's heil, the leaf in the hat and deers mouth? With the correct terminology ect?
Oh contraire shippers. I think that's exactly what he asked.
Since you were within the right area Harry here is the correct definition of the information that you tried to pass on, from one who lived stalked and shot in Germany for many years not on the military side of things either , this is something that takes years to learn there is a huge rank system among the German hunter which you must follow very closely tradition is everything .
The Waidmannsheil -Waidmannsdank are greeting between hunters when they meet or on a successful shot the word Waidmannsheil is used as a greeting and Weidmannsdank as the reply the word Gratulieren (congratulations) is also used .
The (Branch signs) or Bruchzeichen are used in many forms to show areas of interest of danger which can be of pine spruce fir oak alder .
The most important are the Hauptbruch (Main Branch) which they peel the bark from and hang or lay on the ground indicating something took place at that place .
(Shot Branch) Anschussbruch is stuck into the ground where the animal was standing when it was shot .
The (Ownership branch) Inbesitznahmebruch is a branch which is placed on the shot animal which indicates a legal shot the indication is the broken end toward the head for a male and towards the tail for a female the animal is always laid on its right hand side .
The (last bite) is a branch which is crossed and placed in the animals mouth only in the males of Deer, Sheep cloven footed animals .
The (Hunters Branch) Schutzenbruch . is used after a successful shot where the branch is dipped into the blood of animal males only ,the blood is spread on the blade of the knife or hat of the shoot host ,for that day the word Waidmannsheil is then use by the days guests in return the answer Weidmannsdank is used that branch is placed on the hat band rim on the left hand side .
The same applies to the dog handler who's dog finds a wounded animal the same branch passed over and used in the same way .
(Laying the bag out) Streckelegen .Game is laid out on its right side with a rank system red deer bing first fallow ,boar roe fox hare pheasant and other game bird .it is all laid out on a bed of branches the shooters that there respectful position in rank while the last horn of the day is blown .
While the bag is laid out you must only walk around the bag never stepping across, any of the animals when it laid out it is always, fur before feather.
There is hundreds of hunting terminology Weidmannssprache it took me two years ,to even attempt the Jadgschein course you must know all the signs ,the signal horns, the animals from silhouettes birds the list goes on and on the level one couldn't even pass for there deer part of the course .
