Wanted: Driven Boar Agents in Germany

If your looking for driven boar hunting best to go to Hungary .There are many good agents out there try to purchase a German hunting magazine jäger is good there will be adds in there .
German driven hunts are run a bit different to Hungary or other European countries it is very strict on what you can shoot and most state hunts are only one drive in the day ,it’s more a movement operation than a driven operation.
You would probably not enjoy the hunt unless you are very experienced and can tell a sow from a boar when there running through the trees if it’s 60 kg or 80 kg ,the hunt master will tell you the age he wants shot the sex he wants shot and even a weight max on some hunts .
Hungary is easygoing and more enjoyable.
 
Been to Hungary many times, Poland, Lithuania and Czech Republic too but I find it easier to drive to Germany and I speak 'passable' German both Hoch und Platt ;)
Incidentally, I enjoy the hunts, scenery, traditions and company in whichever country I visit having had a few invites from '65 up until '83 and regularly since 2000.
 
It’s not difficult to get on a forestry organised driven hunt in Germany, and not particularly expensive as long as you’ve got your Tagjagdschein (possibly spelt wrong) which is really an admin exercise to obtain; presenting your cert/insurance/other relevant paperwork and the fee which varies from area to area.
I recently found my 'Jahres Jagdschein' which ran from '72 and expired in '83, prior to that it was 'Tages Jagdschein' fur auslander !!
I suppose it is a bit too late to renew it now, particularly as I don't have a German address any more ;-)
 
Hi EMcC,
Welche Voraussetzungen müssen für die Erteilung eines Ausländerjagdscheines erfüllt werden?
Prinzipiell kann einem Ausländer, ebenso wie einem Deutschen ein Jahres-(Dreijahres-)-Jagdschein oder ein Tagesjagdschein erteilt werden. Für die Erteilung eines Jahres-Jagdscheins muss indes auch der Ausländer eine Jägerprüfung in Deutschland bestanden haben, er wird insoweit also einem Deutschen im Hinblick auf seine Rechte und Pflichten gleichgestellt.
Wer als Ausländer keine deutsche Jägerprüfung abgelegt hat, kann einen Jagdschein nur im Ermessenswege nach § 15 Abs. 6 BJG erhalten, welcher Ausnahmen im Hinblick auf die Erteilung des Jagdscheines vorsieht. Welche Ausnahmen dies konkret sind bzw. was für die entsprechenden Ausnahmen erforderlich ist, lässt der Gesetzgeber offen. Aufgrund zwischenstaatlicher Übereinkommen sind regelmäßig den Jagdscheininhabern aus den Staaten Österreich, Schweden, Luxemburg und den meisten Kantonen der Schweiz im Ermessenswege auch Jahresjagdscheine für Ausländer zu erteilen. Die Verwaltungspraxis der einzelnen Bundesländer ist insoweit außerordentlich unterschiedlich, ja weicht sogar innerhalb eines Bundeslandes von Unterer Jagdbehörde zu Unterer Jagdbehörde ab, so daß eine verlässliche Antwort auf die Frage, ob und inwieweit eine ausländische Jägerprüfung für die Erteilung eines Ausländer-Jagdscheines gemacht wird, durch eine Nachfrage bei der entsprechend zuständigen Behörde geklärt werden sollte.
Wer einen Ausländer-Jahresjagdschein beantragen möchte, hat – unabhängig davon, ob er eine deutsche Jägerprüfung absolviert hat, oder aber den Antrag auf Basis seiner national erworbenen Jagderlaubnis stellt – neben dem vollständigen Ausfüllen des Antragsformulars seinen Personalausweis und Reisepass im Original oder beglaubigter Kopie einzureichen, den Erwerb seiner nationalen Jagderlaubnis im Original oder in beglaubigter Kopie und in eventueller Übersetzung durch einen in Deutschland amtlich anerkannten und vereidigten Dolmetscher ebenso einzureichen, wie ein Lichtbild, seinen nationalen ausländischen Jagschein im Original oder in beglaubigter Kopie (ebenfalls in Übersetzung), sowie den Nachweis einer in Deutschland oder in einem anderen EU-Staat abgeschlossenen und auch für Deutschland ausreichenden Jagdhaftpflichtversicherung (ebenfalls in beglaubigter Kopie und/oder Übersetzung).

What requirements must be met for the issue of a foreigner hunting license? In principle, a foreigner, as well as a German, can be granted an annual (three-year) hunting license or a day hunting license. For the issue of an annual hunting license, however, the foreigner must have passed a hunting test in Germany, so it is in this respect equal to a German in terms of his rights and obligations. Anyone who has not taken a German hunters test as a foreigner can only receive a hunting license in discretion pursuant to § 15 Abs. 6 BJG, which provides for exceptions with regard to the issue of the hunting license. Which exceptions are specific or what is required for the corresponding exemptions is left open by the legislator. On the basis of intergovernmental agreements, hunting license holders from Austria, Sweden, Luxembourg and most of the cantons of Switzerland must also regularly dispense annual hunting permits for foreigners. The administrative practice of the individual federal states is extremely different in this respect, yes differs even within a federal state from lower hunting authority to lower hunting authority, so that a reliable answer to the question of whether and to what extent a foreign hunter examination for the issue of a foreigner hunting license is made by a request should be clarified to the appropriate competent authority. Anyone wishing to apply for a foreigner's annual hunting license - regardless of whether he has completed a German hunting exam or applies for a permit based on his / her national hunting permit - must submit his / her ID and passport in original or certified copy in addition to completing the application form in full. the acquisition of his national hunting permit in the original or certified copy and in any translation by an officially recognized and sworn interpreter in Germany, as well as a photograph, his national foreign hunting license in original or certified copy (also in translation), as well as the proof a hunting liability insurance concluded in Germany or another EU country and also sufficient for Germany (also in certified copy and / or translation).

Martin, that is why it took me from 1966 to 1972 to complete all the tests, military and German night school interfered with a lot of the tests :(
I started in Hildesheim and finished in Soltau with frequent visits to Fallingbostel and Gottingan.
I must have been the oldest 'Jungjager' at the time ;-)
 
Eddy,
My uncle on my mothers side is buried in the Soltau/Becklingen Commonwealth war cemetery.
He served with the Irish Guards.
He signed up on 05.09.1939 and fell on 23.04.1945 from an attack of the the 15th Panzer Grenadiers in a village near Bremen.
Been up there twice to pay my respects.

I have visited there a few times. I used to sit in the little Bower where they used to keep a book of all the names and think of what went on and how lucky we were to be guests of the Germans.
I think the book has long gone but it was so sad as the majority of ages of the fallen was between 20 and 26, all young men in their prime.
As a result of my 'Platt Deutch' some of the older Germans told me a few stories of their time during the war, some good and some absolutely atrocious but such things went on on both sides so I was just glad it was brought to an end.
Belson was another place that opened my eyes. My wife's uncle was among the first British group that went in there, he was major in the Medics, he didn't talk about it much but he gave me a good idea of what he saw and was backed up by books I read.
