Nice to hear from you. Sorry I did...Thanks Joachim! Nice to hear from you. Sorry I didn't see your comment right away - I've been neglecting my blog lately. The re-take of my gun handling & shooting test is near the end of this month, and hopefully I'll pass this time. I've been practicing and working with a good teacher. My mouth watered at your mention of your aunt's Wildschweinbraten and Rehkeule. We're building up our cookbooks with Wild now.<br /><br />We'll see about the dog. First things first - Jagdschein, Falknerschein, Beizvogel, then perhaps a dog. :-)<br /><br />I have a few more blog posts planned. Hope to see you back! Greetings to California (a place I've never been) from the Schwabenland.Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601866031019102559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-52881102213196629052020-07-04T21:08:41.461+02:002020-07-04T21:08:41.461+02:00I realize that this post is almost as old as the B...I realize that this post is almost as old as the Bavarian Alps, but I would still like to extend my congratulations for passing the test. I'm pleased that the tests for a Jagdschein are so strict. Here in America, if you don't actually place the muzzle in your mouth and pull the trigger, you can get a hunting license.<br /><br />Most of my relatives live in Germany, and several have a Jagdschein. My uncle, sadly deceased now, leased a Jagd in Niedersachsen for many (30+) years. His wife cooked the best Wildschweinbraten and Rehkeule that I've ever had.<br /><br />Sigh. A generation passes.<br /><br />Hope that you are able to utilize the Jagdschein. If you are going to invest the time and emotional energy in acquiring/training a hunting dog, my sincere admiration. Not at all a simple thing.<br /><br />Again, good luck from California.<br /><br />JoachimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-75440366672129594342020-03-29T11:43:22.270+02:002020-03-29T11:43:22.270+02:00My husband did the fishing license when he was you...My husband did the fishing license when he was younger, and he said it's much more manageable than the hunting class & test. The Americans (connected to the military in Stuttgart) who come to the shooting range are taking a German hunting class in English and will supposedly be able to obtain an Ausländerjagdschein (for foreigners) at the end. I can't imagine how that works, but perhaps it's something you could look into.Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601866031019102559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-65837552960291377082020-03-20T13:35:40.892+01:002020-03-20T13:35:40.892+01:00This is brilliant.

I am (was) an avid bird hunter and fly angler back home in Georgia but the licensing requirements in Germany make those pursuits nearly impossible. After working tirelessly to get a drivers license after I arrived I decided against trying to get a fishing or hunting license. I feel good that Germans who do earn a license will be much more proficient and responsible than their American counterparts but it's a quite a demanding process. Good for you for sticking with it!Brad Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124688574469823506noreply@blogger.com
