The Ansitzjagd is probably the most common form of hunting in Germany. Nowadays, stalking seems to have moved somewhat into the background. Nevertheless, many hunters still like to go stalking. Also a stalk can follow a Ansitz. It can also be that a suitable piece comes into sight from the seat at a distance that cannot be mastered with a bullet and the decision is made to stalk and tackle it. In this case, but also in all other situations, where one cannot fall back on a shooting rest of an appropriate shooting range, a stalking stick or so-called target stick is advantageous and should be part of the equipment of every young hunter.
In the meantime, the hunter has a wide range of stalking sticks available for purchase. However, one can also build one oneself with little effort or is lucky and can take a suitably shaped branch from nature, or one that one only has to process slightly so that it fits.
Commercial stalking sticks are now available in a wide variety of designs - single-leg with forearm rest (the classic), two-leg with forearm rest, three-leg with forearm rest, three-leg with forearm rest and buttstock rest, four-leg with forearm and buttstock rest, and so on. Of course, a multi-legged deerstalking stick with two stock rests provides more support for the weapon and thus assists the shooter more in accurate shot placement. However, such a baton is usually also not as compact and easy to carry on the stalk as a simple baton with a single rest.
If you want to buy a deerstalking stick, you should first familiarize yourself with a few models and find out which model, which design meets your own requirements and is the most practical for you for hunting.
In addition, there is also the possibility of building his own deerstalking stick. Many hunting bloggers and Jagdfluencer have a manual for a self-built Pirschstock in the repertoire. Also here it is worthwhile to search once for appropriate instructions.
