Forest and hunting
Hunting rights
The matter of hunting is closely linked to the forest: for many people, it is an encroachment on nature that humans commit by hunting game. Hunting rights are directly linked to the ownership of land. At the same time, however, the hunting right holder is also obliged to keep game – for good reason. Gamekeeping is the provision of a balanced, healthy, species-rich habitat and game population.Forest protection
The forest as a habitat therefore also needs to be treated with care in order to grow and flourish. This includes protecting young plants and crops to grow up in order to maintain the stability of the forest in the long term. Wild animals do not distinguish between herbs and small trees – they follow supply and taste.Sustainable balance
Therefore, hunting is both a right of use and a regulator. In today’s cultivated landscape and densely populated areas, natural enemies such as lynx or wolves are no longer native. Therefore, the balance between forest growth and game population is established through proper and sustainable hunting. This is also ensured by legal regulations. Hunting and forest protection thus go hand in hand and cannot be separated from each other. Incidentally, red deer and mouflon are common around the Bruchhauser Steine and are also hunted.
