The hunting seasons and closed seasons in Thuringia are an important part of hunting regulations, which take into account both the interests of hunters and the necessity of species protection and the preservation of animal populations. It is important to understand the difference between these two terms:

• Hunting seasons refer to the time windows in which hunting certain animal species is permitted. They are established to ensure sustainable hunting without endangering the population of a species. Hunting seasons are based on the biological conditions of the animals, such as reproduction and raising of young.
• Closed seasons, on the other hand, are periods during which hunting certain animal species is expressly prohibited. They serve to protect the animals during particularly sensitive phases, such as during the breeding season or the raising of young.

The exact determination of hunting and closed seasons varies depending on the species and serves to balance the needs of hunters with the preservation of a healthy and stable animal population. In Thuringia, these times are regulated by law to ensure sustainable management of the native wildlife. Below, the specific hunting seasons for various animal species in Thuringia are detailed. The closed seasons are derived accordingly.
