I'll do my best to walk with you through some of my time spent in the forests of Germany. The first series of pics is from a walk through my hunting area a few weeks ago. Somehow I had the feeling it would be one of my last, so I snapped some random pics as I was going. 1 April I officially gave up my lease on this area. And on Friday, with heavy heart, I removed my cameras and stand and probably set foot there for the last time. If time permits I may make one last hike through there, but it won't be the same knowing that it's no longer meine jagd revier. It will be missed.

Huckleberries

It was a very windy day, and this tree was intact when I parked

Luckily it got hung up!

Some random photos from my German hunting album.

Watched this sunrise from the field stand many mornings

Pigs digging up acorns

Looking down on the village we live in

Deer in field on my way to work

Tree where my power line stand used to be

No more need for the Deutsche hunting placard

And of course it wouldn't be German venison, without the bratwurst

I hope you enjoyed the walk.

Waidmannsheil!

LOVED IT!!!

Man it always just amazes me how much that looks like PA.

Thanks Rooster.

I don't know of a single person from PA whose ever been here, doesn't say how much it looks the same. Probably why so many Germans took root in PA.

Steely, I'm coming home, as in the USA. But we're moving to VA.

The placard lets them know I'm hunting, as well as being allowed to drive the roads in the forest.

Very cool post Bcoz!!

Gotta ask, what type of animal is the "goat lookin thing" and what is in the trail cam pic(looks like a Badger??)

Thanks for sharing with us!!

 

[BCozhunter]

That goat is a Gamswild, better know as a Chamois. Alps mountain goat. That pic is from a hike I took while we were down in the Alps this past summer.

The trailcam pic is of a badger (dachs in German).
And yes, the Germans use dachshunds to chase them out of their dens.
