Gunwolf, I had the pleasure of hunting when I was in Germany 1966-67. I became friends with a German fireman who worked on our kaserne and I was invited to hunt on his father's place when I told him I had bought a Remington 11-48,.410. He asked what I was going to shoot with this as he had a Franchi 20ga. I told him I could kill as much as he could with his.
In the mornings we hunted just with myself, my friend his son and the father. The afternoon is when hunters arrived to go on a big hunt for Hungarian partridge, hares but too early for pheasant as they would not bring as much at the market if not fully plumaged. All the game was sold and you could buy it from them if you wanted.

I was wondering if that is still the tradition.
