Game series

Wild result is the necessary prosecution of krankgeschossenem or very sick by accident Wild , which to a foreign hunting ground changes. The hunting is usually carried out as part of a search .

Historical

Historically already mentioned in the Sachsenspiegel of 1225 and in the Weistum , it is largely based on the idea of animal welfare to relieve the animal from any pain as quickly as possible.

Hunting law

Crossing the border of the hunting district with a firearm is considered poaching , so the game follow-up agreement needs a legal framework and a written form.

Game tracking is permitted if a written agreement has been concluded with the person authorized to hunt in the adjacent hunting area in accordance with Section 22 a of the Federal Hunting Act on game tracking ( game tracking agreement ).

The individual states have in the provincial hunting laws for this purpose, for more. Some regulations that differ considerably from one another are made. In principle, the legal game sequence exists in all federal states .

Legal game sequence

If there is no amicable game follow-up agreement between the neighbors , the legal game follow-up applies, which excludes an immediate search with the weapon in the foreign hunting area. In the event of a violation of animal welfare resulting from this, criminal law issues can arise.

agreement

If game that has been shot sick moves to a neighboring hunting district and it can be reached for a safe shot, it must be shot by the hunter or searcher who is practicing the hunt and then looked after. The Fort creating-Powered ungulates is not allowed. Hunted game that is subject to the shooting plan must be counted towards the shooting plan of the area owner in whose area the game was shot at.

Game tracking in pacified areas is possible without an agreement, but in buildings only with the consent of the authorized user. In both cases, the person entitled to hunt is entitled to appropriation. This also applies to areas that have been pacified for ethical reasons (Section 6a (8) BJagdG).

In order to avoid the consequences of violations of animal welfare, there are now confirmed blood dog handlers in some countries . For example, in Brandenburg or Hesse, who are allowed to follow game without an agreement if, according to their assessment, it is gunshot wounds that experience has shown to cause prolonged torture for the game (e.g. running shots, pasture wounds, shots or frail shots), the search on the same day and the person authorized to hunt cannot be reached. In this case, the owner of the welding dog handler is obliged to immediately notify those authorized to hunt whose hunting districts were entered during the search.

(2) Game that has been shot or seriously ill and that moves to a foreign hunting district may only be pursued (game series) if a written agreement has been concluded with the person authorized to hunt in that hunting district. The federal states issue more detailed provisions, in particular on the obligation of those authorized to hunt in neighboring hunting districts to make agreements on the pursuit of game; in addition, they can supplement or expand the regulations on game tracking.
↑ HJagdG § 27 Sick game, game following (1) Game shot sick, injured by a traffic accident or otherwise must be searched for and shot immediately. (2) Injured or sick game that was shot regardless of the hunting season in order to protect it from pain or suffering or to prevent the spread of epidemics must be reported by those authorized to hunt to the hunting authorities within 24 hours and upon request for examination to submit. Game killed for which there is a shooting plan must be counted towards the plan. (3) If sick game moves to a neighboring hunting district and remains in sight and shooting range, it must be shot immediately. Those authorized to hunt in the neighboring area or their representatives must be informed immediately. (4) If sick game moves to a neighboring hunting district without dying within sight of the border or remaining within shooting range, the hunters must indicate where possible the point where the game is being crossed and where they are being moved. In addition, they must immediately notify the persons authorized to hunt in the neighboring hunting district or their representatives of the transfer. They have to initiate the search immediately and determine who will take part in it. In addition to hunting guests, those who are authorized to hunt are also obliged to report if they become aware of the transfer of sick game. (5) If cloven-hoofed game that has been shot sick and for which a shooting plan is provided is found in the neighboring hunting district, it shall be counted towards the shooting schedule of the hunting district in which it can be proven that it was shot sick. (6) Within the territory of a conservation community, the hunting authority can, on the proposal of the management community, designate recognized bloodhound handlers who, when searching for hoofed game, cross the boundaries of hunting districts, including an accompanying person carrying a firearm, without prior notification of those authorized to hunt, in whose hunting district the sick piece of hoofed game changes is allowed to exceed. In addition, teams of welding dogs that meet the requirements of Paragraph 7 and are recognized by the higher hunting authority, including an accompanying person carrying firearms, may search for sick cloven-hoofed game regardless of the boundaries of the hunting district and conservation community. If the piece of game is hunted down, it must be taken care of. Removal is not permitted. The hunting authorities in whose hunting districts the search took place must then be notified immediately of each pursuit of game pursued. (7) The state associations of hunters draw up regulations on tracing in Hesse, which require the approval of the highest hunting authority. In particular, the requirements for the recognition of the welding dog team as well as their rights and obligations are to be specified therein. (8) Agreements going beyond the provisions of Paragraphs 3 to 5, in particular on 1. the admissibility of searching in a neighboring hunting district, 2. notification of those authorized to hunt or those appointed to represent them, 3. the conditions under which game is supplied and may be removed, and 4. the appropriation of game and trophies can be made in game follow-up agreements, which must be in writing. (9) Game hunting is permitted without prior agreement in areas in which the hunt is suspended or only limited hunting is permitted. In the case of fenced-in areas that are permanently fenced in to prevent the introduction and exchange of hoofed game and have no entrances, or buildings, courtyards and allotment gardens within the meaning of Section 5 (1) No. 3, the following is permitted if Owner or authorized user agree to this in general or in individual cases. The right of appropriation of owners or beneficiaries remains unaffected.
