In order to always be able to apply hunting-appropriate and clean shots, almost all hunters regularly visit the shooting range and thus train their shooting skills. But in hunting practice it is like everywhere else - mistakes happen here too from time to time or things do not go as desired. Especially on driven hunts, the danger of a missed shot or a poorly aimed shot cannot be ruled out.
In the case of a poorly aimed shot that results in a sickly shot piece, the behavior after the shot is decisive. The top priority is to find the sick piece as soon as possible and to end its suffering quickly. It is not always possible to apply a clean catch shot with the long gun or even with the short gun. Therefore, it is also useful to carry a cold weapon, with which the suffering of the piece can be ended by expert interception.
If the piece was to be found only with the help of a useful dog, it lies now with the dog leader to intercept the piece. He knows the hunting dog working on the piece and is aware of its behavior in such situations and knows how to act without endangering his dog.
In any case, it must be ensured that the piece is intercepted cleanly and in a manner appropriate to the hunt. In reference to this, a method has become established that calls for the blade tip to be placed behind the right shoulder blade and the blade to be guided downward diagonally to the left between the ribs. Then the blade should be moved up and down. In this way, the cut between the ribs gapes open and the organs located in the chamber are destroyed. It should also be noted, if possible, always approach the piece from behind and fix it well before the bare weapon is taken out of the sheath. As a rule, one must use one's own body weight for this purpose. It is also always to pay attention to the self-protection and the protection of possible fellow hunters as well as the hunting dogs.
There are also hunters who know and use other methods of interception, but these are often more difficult and extend and increase the suffering time of the piece if executed incorrectly.
It is also important to use the right tools for interception. Especially with strong pieces of larger game species, a sufficiently long and wide blade is important. Large hunting knives with a wide blade as well as woad blades are very suitable for interception.
