Hare and Pheasant opens here October 1, Rabbits are protected this year and I haven't got a clue why?. Germans have some strange ways but you usually really can't argue with the results, five month Roe Deer season, nine month season for yearlings.

They do screw it up though, a bumper crop of Rabbits this year and when the population grows too big, disease usually wipes them out.

Dove doesn't open until Nov. 1, we just get to hunt the stragglers who didn't migrate this year.

Ducks are also a no go this year, protected. Except Mallard.

Goose has been open for a month, but ends just before the peak of the migration. Going to be a bad year for the early birds.
