Welcome saujaeger! Nice pieces....and were you stateside I might try to trade you out of that Damascus barreled 16 bore. I have a real weakness for hammer guns also.

Jo,
Welcome, we are happy to have you with us, and look forward to your posts. Which part of Germany do you live in?
I lived and hunted in Unterfranken area 9 years from 1971 to 1982, I loved every minute of the time.
Waidmannsheil,
Mike

Hi mike, i live in Butzbach/Hessian. I hunt here around my town. Where had you live in Unterfranken ? I´d spend some hunting time in Aschaffenburg, cause my last girlfriend lives there. We?d hunted in some small towns in Spessart.
That is the result of searching a wild boar at the last hunt in spessart last year. My Foxterrier had found it after 1 mile.


Waidmannsdank
Jo

Jo,
I lived in Wuerzberg, and hunted all around there. I often hunted in the Spessart, on both the Bavarian and Hessian sides of the border. I also hunted once or twice in the Hartz. This was all in the state forrests. I hunted private reviers around Wuerzberg,Kitzengen,Ansbach, Muennerstadt, Grosswinkheim, Kottenheim,Nassau, and Hurfeld. I have written about some of my hunting experiences for WAIDMANNSHEIL, some of my best memories are of hunts in the Spessart.
Waidmannsheil.
Mike
