- Hunting Opportunities
-
Hunting in Germany requires a German hunting license, obtainable via instruction and certification at each of the sites within the hunting courses list (above).
Many opportunities exist, ranging from drive hunts, to individual capital-game hunts, and full-season committments in private or public hunting reviers.
For each hunting year in Germany, the window for requesting a booked hunt is open during the month of February. Locations for booked hunts vary between federal, state, and local forests within Germany. Occasionally booked hunts are arranged with private Reviers.
In addition to booked hunts, garrison programs at Ansbach, Baumholder, Grafenwoehr, Hohenfels, Stuttgart, and Wiesbaden have information for local and nearby hunting opportunities. In addition, the Kaiserslautern Rod & Gun Club (operated by the USAFE 86th Force Support Squadron) and Spangdahlem Air Base Outdoor Recreation have information for local opportunities.
Please refer to the hunting course list (above) for contact info at each major installation.
