Hunting year
The hunting year differs from the calendar year and covers the period from April 1st to March 31st of the following year. The different beginning is historical and is related to vegetation and growth periods in nature that do not begin in winter, but in spring.
regional customs
The age of the game is determined according to the change of the hunting year . The hunter's language uses different names for the game species, which correspond to the age groups. A wild boar born in the current hunting year is fished as a newborn , a deer is set as a fawn and a piece of red deer as a calf. In the following hunting year they become defectors , yearlings or narrow deer or animals. There are also precise names for adult animals from which the hunter can immediately recognize the age.
Hunting law
The shooting plans are also based on the hunting and not the calendar year. The hunting statistics are kept accordingly, in which the game species and the numbers shot are recorded.
The hunting year is important for the issue of an annual hunting license , the period of validity of which does not depend on the calendar year, but on the hunting year. The longest period of validity is three years (cf. for Germany Section 15 (1) of the Federal Hunting Act ).
According to BJagdG §11, the start and end of a hunting lease should also be based on the hunting year.
