Petriheil Billy, I fish rarely over here because I don't have the time. With hunting seasons for various game running all year, hunting courses, working in the hunting areas, and competition shooting I got no spare time!! Glad you got out at least a couple times, yes things have changed. The young hunters mostly are members of Rod & Gun Clubs, and make contacts with hunters who take them out. I have taken many out myself. Bitburg is history, as well as many, many installations and kasernes. There are a lot of 'people' with dogs, and a lot of hunters with 'real' dogs, the hunting type, and yes, I've seen many wirehairs, dachshound (earth dogs, mainly for scooting down fox dens, etc), GSP, Bloodhounds, Weimeramers, Visela's, and many more). I do hope you get to visit again, seems you have fond memories. You make do with where you're at and learn to enjoy life or remain, I wouldn't say miserable, but just like biding your time if you know what I mean. Enjoy life, it's shorter than you think . . .
I think each state has their own rules on combination weapons, for some I've heard if you have a wooden dowel as a plug you can use drillings for feathered game, but you probably have to look up the state rules on where you're going to hunt.
So skeet, guess I can't use my drilling there where you're at, goose shooting with a hornet is out!!
I am truly thankful for getting to experience hunting and shooting over here, that's not something you can do in a week hunt or vacation, it takes years. Anyway, like I said, there's good and bad no matter where you go or hunt, just gotta look at the bright side, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
