Hi There,

Yes congratulations indeed.

Oh Waidmannsheil is a Germanic Hunters greeting and means something close to Good Hunting. A friend who has been a gamekeeper for most of his life and is now in his late 60's hunts with German/Austrian friends. Once whilst hunting in Germany they had got back to his friends house with a Roe buck in the vehicle and a lady and your lad walked by. The little boy greeted them with Waidmannsheil Jaeger. Jaeger is hunter... sort of. I am not good with german a marked differnt attitude than he would have got in the UK today. Screams and beign called murderer is more likely .
