This is a course that stems from hundreds of years of tradition. The German Hunting Course requires self-motivation and flexibility. It is not easy and requires dedication, but it is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Successful course completion will give you the right to purchase your German Hunting License, as many long guns as you wish as well as two handguns, and be knighted at a Jägerschlag. Waidmannsheil.

Take this course to get your German hunting license and become eligible to hunt, acquire and possess firearms in Germany. Practice your shooting skills and meet other hunters to exchange ideas and tips.
