Our roe deer

The huntsman who is in tune with the game will start hunting roe deer at an early stage. The previous buck hunt usually results in a rather unbalanced sex ratio in favor of the female roe deer. Narrow roe deer, non-leading does and weak fawns are therefore the first on the agenda. A double (fawn and doe) is often successful, but the fawn must always be shot before the doe. It is important to use the time now to avoid having to catch up later in the year during the metabolic low. Intensive fawn rescue has a significant impact on the population in many places and this must be taken into account when hunting in the fall.

Our ducks

Hunting for ducks begins in September. There are good opportunities where there are still stubble fields. Grains left lying around are a magnet for our feathered friends. We prefer to hunt drakes, whose numbers are constantly increasing in relation to the ducks. We wait a little longer at the pond or river, as many ducks are still moulting. The best opportunities are offered in the evening when the ducks are on the move. During the day it can be successful when rummaging with the dog. The legal obligations of practice shooting with a shotgun and the use of lead-free shot must be strictly observed. However, a visit to the shooting range should also be a matter of course on a voluntary basis. Of course, we have prepared the usable dog beforehand in terms of condition and consolidated the retrieve.

The rut begins

September is an exciting time in the red deer area as the rut begins. Powerful voices and stags fighting with each other cause unrest in the woods. If you haven't hunted indiscriminately beforehand, you can observe mature harvest stags and, if everything is right, hunt them. Whether from a hide or stalking, a skillful stag call makes the hunt even more exciting.

Deer damage

Tenants with wild boar and maize fields in their hunting grounds are now getting very little sleep. Wherever the maize has not yet been harvested, the damage can be devastating. Hunting aisles, but above all a good relationship with fellow hunters, are now paying off. Maize hunts with dogs and the first harvest hunts have to be organized. Safety first applies to everything we do!
