Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Dirven season is almost over and i have now the time to write a little bit more in my driven day diary Next driven day was the 26th of october. A good day for red deer. I think to remember we got 26 red deer, 20 boar and one fox. Edited December 23, 2005 by Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Next driven day was on the 4th of november on a military training range (we saw a camp of britain tanks - no joke). It wasnt a very good day. We got 4 fallow, 11 boar and 2 roe deer. That day there were not so many game. They were more north on the range were we was the next day. The range has a total size of 10500 hektar. Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) see a portrait of one of our dogs that day. Its before he had been released (right word?) to flush out the game. You can see behind him the little high seat from which you shoot. But you dont have all the time a high seat on driven days to shoot from. Edited December 23, 2005 by Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 next day in the northern part of the military area. We got 2 red deer, round about 30 fallow, 25 boar and round about 10 roe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Those are some very impressive bags. I like the way in Holland, belgium and i presume Germany too, that they lay out the game on conifer branches, and the ceremony that goes with it. Somehow more appreciative I think, on some shoots here you get the impression that the guns are only interested in the number on the card at the end of the day.

tenbears10 Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Great pictures Hubertus. What is the fire for in the last 2 pictures? Just keeping warm or something else as well? I like the picture of your dog. What breed is it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I think it is part of the leaving ceremony for the souls of the beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Great pictures Hubertus. What is the fire for in the last 2 pictures? Just keeping warm or something else as well? I like the picture of your dog. What breed is it again? The fire is a tradition (flambeaus are also used for that purpose). It is made to be reverence for the quarry and to make it a little bit ceremonial. For every species is also blown a special signal with the hunting horn. And at the end Signal hunt over. Hunting is harvesting but its to show that we havent forget that we killed an animal to eat it. The dog is a German Spaniel (Deutscher Wachtelhund www.wachtelhund.org). They are the specialists for flushing out game in the wood and also flushing out game in the reet and for retrieving. And they are really nice familiy dogs. If you see them working on a boar or killing a racoon or a cat you cant imagine that they are playing wiht little children when they at home. They are totally balanced.

Hubertus Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 hubertus thats a fantastic bag there puts my roe I shot last wk to shame well done again. Regrads. Terry no, no, no. You must keep in mind that these are really big hunts with a lot of hunters. There are people who havent shot any deer. Its totally different from stalking on your own. I cant say if its better or not. I like both. But its absolutely different. Feel happy about the roe you shot! TThere is no reason to be ashamed.

Hubertus Thanks I see the fire is made from a log with cuts in the top, I have used that method before it's a great way to have a fire. I do like your spaniel as well. My spaniel would love to be a deer flushing dog as well, he is very good at it usually at the worst moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubertus Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 then we had a rest of one and a half week. The dogs needed it. Next hunt was on the 17th of november. It was the hunt of the prime minister of Hessen (Mr. Koch) . I was not invited by him. We were invited by the forestry commission (they organised the hunt) because of our dogs.

Hubertus Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 next hunt was the next day (18th of november). It was again on a military training area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) and again the next day (19th of november) the next hunt. Some area but some kilometer more north. I was that day on the end of tank shooting range. You could look really far. In front of me was a wide area of broom (some hundred hektars). Inside that was red deer, boar and roe deer.
