I still hunt with a drilling, with an einstecklauf in 22LR in the right barrel. Being a landowner I can carry any combination of barrels and ammunition all year round. Even if you aren't a landowner, only turkey and deer season are restricted as to firearm.
Interesting to hear. In Germany, there are no restrictions as to which kind of ammunition you can have with you as a hunter, as long as you are legally entitled to own such ammunition. The annual hunting licence serves an "ammunition acquisition and retention permit", without any numeric limit [unlike some other European countries], inasmuch as it is long arms or rimfire ammunition - for handgun ammo however, you need the requisite separate permit or ammunition permit entry in your Waffenbesitzkarte (=FAC).
Also, it is clear that prohibited ammunition (e.g. armour-piercing, tracers, explosive) and "munitions of war" are not covered by the hunting permit. Ambivalent ammo (e.g., normal 7,62x51 FMJ lead core) is considered "civilian ammo".
