Admission

Classroom of a German hunting school

In 11 of the 16 German federal states, admission to the hunter test is dependent on evidence of a training course. In Berlin, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, the hunter exam can be taken without a previous training course.

Young people aged 16 and over are allowed to take the hunter examination. In some federal states, a previous one-year course or an intensive course with a shorter duration is required. These courses with a final examination are also known as the Green Abitur because of their difficulty . For example, the failure rate in 2012 averaged 15%.

Those who take the hunter's examination with the aim of completing their training to become a falconer have the option of taking a restricted hunter's examination, which does not include subjects related to guns and weapons.

Exam content

In Germany, the test consists of a shooting test, a written and an oral-practical part. In this case the applicant must have sufficient knowledge to prove to the wild species , the wildlife biology , wild cherish , the hunting operation, the game damage prevention , the agriculture and forestry , the hunting and weapons legislation and the accident prevention regulations , the weaponry, the safe management of hunting weapons , the leadership of hunting dogs , the treatment of hunted game taking into account the hygienically necessary measures, in the assessment of the harmless quality of the game and in hunting , animal and nature protection as well as in landscape conservation law.

In addition to multiple-choice questions, the written exam can also consist of questions with freely formulated answers. The practical test is usually a hunting ground where questions have to be answered orally and hunting situations have to be assessed.

In Austria, the hunter test is regulated in a similar way.

Shooting test

The shooting test is an essential part of the hunter test. The examination performance to be taken in this area differs considerably in the 16 German states.

Explanations

To help you understand the tables in the following sections, explanations of the weapons and targets are given here. In general, the current version of the shooting range regulations and the shooting regulations of the German Hunting Association apply . Deviations or simplifications are possible, but not listed separately.

weapons
  • Rifle : A total of five shots per specified discipline (buck, boar, defector, fox, 10s) are to be fired at a distance of 100 m. Rings that are touched are generally considered to have been hit. The minimum caliber is the smallest possible on ungulates approved caliber what the caliber .222 Remington equivalent. The use of a rifle scope is permitted. Usually every shot counts. In some countries, however, a test shot (trial) is allowed before the scoring and in some countries the location of the first shot (display) or each shot is displayed.
  • Shotgun : There are ten or 15 movable targets to be shot at, each target can be shot at with a maximum of two cartridges. Requested, but not fired targets are considered missing. The caliber of the shotgun is caliber 20 to caliber 12. In general, the shot should be fired from the hunt, and the diameter of the pellets is generally limited to 3 mm for hares and 2.5 mm for clay targets (skeet: 2 mm) . In some federal states, the number of pellets, the so-called template, is also limited.
  • Handgun : Five shots are to be fired with a pistol or revolver, standing, hands-free, one-armed or two-armed, at a target at a distance of 10 m.
aims
  • Bock: Designates the DJV game disc No. 1 (standing roe buck, left). This is to be shot at in a standing position at a distance of 100 m.
  • Defector: Describes the standing defector target (DJV game target No. 2). This is shot while sitting at a distance of 100 m.
  • 10s: Designates the 10s ring disc (also 109 hunting disc). This is shot while sitting at a distance of 100 m.
  • Keiler: Describes the shot at the fleeting defector, standing freehand, hunting attack, at 50 m (then DJV game target no.5) or 60 m (then DJV game target no.6).
  • Fox: Designates the shot at the seated fox (DJV game disc No. 3), lying free, at 100 m.
  • Hare: Shot on the so-called tipping phases, standing freehand, at 35 m. The double shot is allowed. If the rabbit is meant instead of the tipping phase, this is indicated. The hare moves over a 6 m wide swath and is visible for two to three seconds.
  • Pigeon: Designates the shot at the trap pigeon . If other types of pigeons are meant, this is indicated. Throwing of the pigeons in the test is regulated differently in the countries. Normally a trap pigeon is thrown that does not change in height or direction and flies around 65 m to 70 m. This is to be shot at from the 7 m line and from any stand. In some federal states, however, the Olympic distance of 11 m, a change of stand or a variation of the direction of flight are prescribed.

Exam content

In the test, predetermined targets in the categories of rifle , shotgun and handgun are shot at. The table below gives an overview of the types of targets that must be shot at. The service to be provided is shown in a separate table in the following section.

To make the following table clear, a fictitious normal case is assumed. Deviations from this standard are indicated in the table. So called block (3, applied sitting) that instead of 5 shots to the wild disc DJV Nr. 1, to give the 3 and that instead painted standing , the shot sitting placed is to be delivered. To read the table, please note the explanations given in the previous section.

conditions

In order to pass the shooting test, a minimum performance is required in each category, i.e. rifle, shotgun and handgun. The table below gives an overview. This minimum performance must be achieved in each category. So it is not possible to offset the shotgun category with an outstanding performance in the rifle category.

Furthermore, all required services must be fulfilled in the rifle category. This is expressed by the + sign . For example, Bock + Keiler means that both the requirements for shooting at the Bock and the requirements for the volatile defector target (Keiler) must be met. In shotgun shooting, the word or means that either the pigeon or the rabbit must be performed. Which discipline has to be fulfilled is determined by the examination committee and is known to the candidate or the instructor before the examination.

The following abbreviations are used in the table: T for hit and R for ring. A minimum ring is often required in rifle shooting. If a number is given in brackets, this denotes the smallest ring that is included in the rating. Normally all rings are counted. Example: Bock 2 / 5T (8) means that 2 out of 5 possible hits can be achieved when shooting at the Bock target , whereby only rings 8, 9 and 10 are counted. Of course, no rings are counted when shooting with shotguns, so no hits were given. A pigeon is considered hit when at least one visible piece breaks off from the clay pigeon.

Repetition

In general, the minimum requirement must be met in every category (rifle, shotgun or handgun) or in every discipline. If this requirement is not met, the examinee can repeat the unfulfilled discipline or category once on the day of the examination. Requirements that have already been fulfilled then do not have to be repeated again. Deviations from this are possible. The hunter examination regulations of the federal states regulate more details.

Default

If a respective minimum requirement is not achieved even after a repetition, this usually results in exclusion from further examination. The entire hunter test is then considered failed .
