Stalking signs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blood trail on leaf

As a game character (also Pürschzeichen ) indicate hunters everything bombarded Wild at Anschuss leaves. Here the shot is the place in the area where it was hit by the projectile of the hunting rifle. This includes:

  • leaked blood (hunting: sweat )
  • Hair of the animal that has been severed by the bullet, called cut hair in the hunter's language
  • Bone fragments
  • Pieces of meat (" venison shreds ")
  • Ground wounds ("interventions") through the legs ("runs") of the animal
  • Teeth and parts of antlers or parts of a horn

The nature of the stalking signs gives the hunter information about the shot, here the “seat” of the bullet in the body of the game, as well as the type of injury. This is important if the animal that is shot at does not die immediately after being hit, but instead flees (“jumps off”) and a search with the bloodhound is required.

Game characters are not allowed with shot mark , the animal's response to the shot, be confused.
