Thread: Hunting traditions elsewhere in the world

The small wording around the label on a bottle is the 'hunters creed'. Google the translation. They had hunting outfits, trumpets and stuff. I got some nice photos and a video somewhere.

I like Germans, has worked with them for few years. My boss was not a outdoor kind, but a shooting guy and pilot, he said he got special permit of carrying conceal pistol. On weekend, at train station there were many people with big backpack and gears ready to go into the mountains. It seemed, those trains could take them to everywhere. 8 years ago, I thought about moving Germany, but to learn another language at age 40 would be painful for me.
