I thought I give you an impression what hunting is like in Germany.
First: you have to be 16 to hunt. Until 18, someone has to accompany you.
Only rimfire before 16, and those only from 14 on....
We have specific limits on cartridges.
At least 6.5 mm AND 1475 footpounds of energy @100m for big game. Which is anything bigger than roe deer.
Half the energy on roe without diameter-restrictions.
Hunting licenses require a course of 3 weeks full time or about 9 nine months few days a week. Written and practical exams, including shooting (clay, running boar and roe deer @100m).
We do.not have public land as you have in the US.
You usually lease land for 9-12 years, then you (and whoever you want) have the rights to hunt there. Hunting times are long, on some species quatas have to be met.
Some of the hunts are usually at night time, since wild boar learned not to come out of cover during daylight.
Driven hunts with dogs are common, usually late fall and winter. And we usually stand around during harvest to have a chance on boars coming out...
We usually have to pay for the damage to the crops done by boar. Depending on were you hunt, that can be a significant sum!
Leases are astronomic around major cities, only the rich can affort to hunt there. Or you have to know someone...
Hunting is limited to rifles and shotguns, no bowhunting.
Muzzleloaders are a grey area.
So - be grateful for what you have and defend it with all you have!
Our 'greens' want no private weapon-storage, no guns at home.
So far, it didn't happen. But....
