Bait hunting
Lure hunting is a collective term for types of hunting in which various game is attracted by calling or stimulating. Lure hunting is practiced as a single hunt , mostly when hunted from high seat , less often when stalking .
Acoustic decoy hunting
Various sounds are imitated by sound imitation. The hunter does this himself without aids, or with the help of attracting instruments. Almost all game can be attracted in one way or another.
Courtship or rutting hunt
In courtship or rutting hunts, the hunter fakes the female sexual partner or a rival by imitating the corresponding male vocalizations . When pawing at the roebuck, the squeaking or screaming of the female roe deer is imitated; when calling for red deer, fallow deer or elk, the voice, the “roar” of a rival, or the “warning” of the female animal. In the game of birds , for example, the black grouse is "stimulated" by imitating the hunting ground.
Other acoustic attractants
Outside of courtship or rut, the bait can be hunted by imitating contact or warning sounds, e.g. B. be carried out with raccoons and wild boars. When hunting predatory game, prey animals are simulated by imitating the plaintive painful sounds of hares or rabbits, the whistle of the mouse or the cry of birds. Mainly this is how the fox is hunted .
Optical decoy hunting
Sociable game birds such as wild ducks, wild geese and crows are simulated by placing decoys in the presence of conspecifics. Historically, the Decoy with a decoy birds of prey, and which are hut hunting on raptors and crows with the owl. The decoy pigeon in the so-called hawk trap simulates a prey animal. Similar to the hut hunt, an eagle owl or "Auf" or a dummy eagle owl, which is intended as an "enemy image" to attract food competitors and especially corvids. Since birds of prey are now protected, these types of hunting are no longer carried out or only carried out for observation.
Odor lure and lure feeding
Predatory game, especially the fox, is shot at the hide at Luderplatz or is lured to the trapping site by so-called "Kirrung" or "Kirrbrocken" . A special attraction is the urine of a fox female hunted during the Ranzzeit to attract male foxes. Lure smells are also used when hunting with traps.
