What inspired you to train as a hunter?
I can't really understand why someone would decide to become a hunter, hence the question.
Is hunting really ecologically necessary?
Deer or roe deer, for example, could also be effectively controlled by their predators, such as wolves, bears, and lynx. However, these predators were eradicated by hunters. Now, hunters argue that, in the absence of predators, they must regulate these herbivores themselves, for example, to protect trees from excessive predation. Isn't this argument infamous?
Have you ever shot an animal…?
Who then fled seriously injured and how did it feel then?
A question about the hunting area?
How does a young hunter, once they've passed the exam, get their own hunting ground? With approximately 400,000 people hunting in Germany, surely all the grounds are already taken. And you're not allowed to shoot everywhere. Or do several hunters have a ground, and how do they coordinate?
Regulation of the ecosystem?
Hunting is often justified by the need to maintain balance in the ecosystem. Isn't this a rather specious argument, since ecosystems are known to regulate themselves according to the Lotka-Volterra principles?
Did you feel guilty?
Did you feel guilty after shooting your first animal? And why was that?
Is hunting profitable or rather an expensive hobby?
Question should explain itself ^^
Why are rabbits still shot?
In Germany, the hare is an endangered species. I haven't seen a single hare in my region for years. Yet hares are still being shot.
