View attachment 178901What a prey !!!What an experience !!!
A hunting -buddy from Hamburg is actually in Croatia and sent me this picture for a few hours.
Croatia (Ex -Yugoslavia) has an enormous standard on hunting culture and a game management of the best.
Marvellous country .
Send your wife to the beach and you go hunting in the mountains,

Very nice bag your buddy got.

Thank you fellows,
Im always happy, when you enjoy my harmless pics and stories.
Kathy,congrats to your DD pup.
Drahthaar is (not only my opinion) one of the most powerful breed and a hound of the best class,so you can manage them.
For me, somtimes I find them to strenious and I was guiding Weimaraner and Kleine Münsterländer ,actually I have a Dackel (a divorce-orphan).Hard enough for me .
Very good friends of mine ,Basti and Lisa, are breeding Deutsch Drahthaar very successful and both are experienced hunters and houndsmen.
When you need an advice one day,please feel free to send a mail to jagdhundeschule-muensterland.de
and say greetings from Günzi (my nickname in Germany).
Sure they will help you.

Here you see Lisa and their DD Amsel(blackbird) with 12 !! puppies.

A comrade for life.

Hunting from highseats.
In Germany most of our game will shot from highseats (when its open) or Kanzel (closed cabin,the word comes from the church pulpit).
The bullet fly more safe as from the ground and you are out of the wind.
Its a saying in Germany: when you are stalking a lot -you see a lot,but you shoot less.
when your are sitting a lot-you see less but you shoot much more.
Thats really true.Stalk and spot is the crown of hunting ,but success is more when you go on a highseat.
In UK ,a great sport nation, is this kind of hunt mostly no option .
"this must our gamekeeper do" said an English hunter once to me.
Interesting thing is,that you dont find pictures of higheats in our hunting newspapers before 1920 or so.
The German Imperator Kaiser Willhelm II. (1888-1918) was often tiger hunting in India and he was very appreciated by the machans there and as a opinion leader he brought this fashion to us.

a highseat (open)

a simple blind with roof in the mountains

a few oddities,when you want to risk you life (not in our concession )

death on stilts
I would refuse every invitation by the last three buildings

Show us your highseats and blinds and oddities you have seen.

Wow! Those last three are crazy high!

I love all the hochsitze you encounter in German forests. They are also a nice spot to take a break and eat asnack on a long hike through the woods.

sometimes I meet shadows in the woods.

It was so surprised like me

a Cameroun - Gorilla,
shot by E.A.Zwilling in the late 20ies
A few years later the oversea-governments in Paris and London closed this hunt totally.
Only a few licences for the museums was given.
Anthropoid apes are not my prey.
I'm shaken to see such pics.
As I would shoot my grandfather,so my feelings.
