Here is the latest pic from my harvest. Buck, foxterrier and me.

 

Hi Dirk,
Beautiful Roe.
Very nice pic.
Excellent job. :hatsoff:

Impressive picture. I remember a friend of my father's who was stationed in the Berlin area and obtained his Jaegerbrief(sp) and stories of some hunting trips.

If you don't mind me asking, I see that you have camoflage on. I was under the impression that in Germany the hunter green outfits were mandatory.

I also see the wooden treestand. Here in the US portable stands made of metal are more the norm.

I know you're proud of that...congratulations again!
:hatsoff:

Nice, grats again Kirrmeister.

I'm curious how do you prepare your venison? Just wondering if the Germans have some long lost secrets.

Good shot placement any clean kill is a good kill :hatsoff: F.K.

 

Congrats , Wish you all the best in all your upcoming hunts as well.
Do you use the dog for hunting ?

 

[Pork Chop]

Again, congratulations! I know that you are enjoying the knowledge that you are bringing back a forgotten sport (hunting Roes with a ML in Germany)

Nice looking Roe! Give the dog a treat for helping locate it!

Thanks to all of you for the congrats :hatsoff:

The camouflage hunting dress is not so common by GE hunters, more the Loden-green. But I found it more useful. Iron seats are in my expirience to loud when you sit there, they sound to much metallic, the deers recognize that as not natural and become suspicious.

The buck will end as a nice roe ragout.

We have many various recepts. Ask what you want to know.

Waidmanns Heil! Excellent, Kirrmeister! Thanks for the photo! Your forest background in the photo fascinates me. I need to come to Deutschland soon before I become too old to walk through the timberstands and admire this,the birthplace of forest management!

Please continue to keep us posted on your hunting adventures. What responses have you had from others there about taking a deer with a muzzleloader? I think this fact should be well pointed out when you display the antlers! Keep us advised!

Greetings from Sunny,Hot and BURNING Florida :thumbsup:

I'm curious about how the game is taken care of once it's down. The butchering process, is it hung for any length of time or is it skinned and cut up right away.

 

[Hamourkiller]

Congrats on the hunt!

Thanks for the pictures.

Did you place an evergreen twig in its mouth? That is something I do that I learned from European hunters. Bill

This thing is not liked, but needed, because tge roes came already when it is grey in the morning. with opeb sight a clean shot is impossible. will be better in late may and june. then it is already light in the morning and I will use my GPR without scope.

In GE it is ruled by law. After killing the deer has to be field dressed immediately, best in the forest or whereever it was killed. After that it should hang for about 1 day in a cooling room at a temp. of 7-11 degrees centigrade. After that the deer is skinned and butchered in its segments.

You are right Forester!

The forest in which I hunt is a already mixed forest consisting of fir, beech and spruce, many thickings and a lot of berry plants on the top soil. So there is many eating for the roes and many places for them to hide, nearly ideal for them. that is the cause while we get such good bucks every year. The heavest buck was 20 kg field dressed and 6 pointer, hunted on 7th of may 2003.
I would be glad when you come over to visit me in GE.
