In
Germany Is
Really Tough
BY RICHARD K. o'MALLEY

FRANKFURT, Germany RL-It's
tougher to go hunting in Germany
nowadays than it is to make
proper entrance at an ambasa-
doris tea.
Germans don't take their guns
and go out to bang away at game.
They court it. and each step is as
carefully worked out as a ballet.
Americans who used to hop into
a jeep with their earbines and
knock over a hirseh or a roebuck
are learning the hard way. The
Germans now tell them how to do
it and the Allies must follow the
rules.
If you want to hunt in Germany
you must go to a hunters school.
If you funk out 70 udon't 60 hunt
ing. If you pass, you are entitled
to take to the field-surrounded by
heaters, a hunt master and plenty
of tradition.
German hunters were aghast at
American hunting methods, espec-
tally when some early-day occu-
piers used to simplify the meat
shortage with machine gun.
The killing of hirsch european
elk is an elaborate ceremony. In
way, German rules can make
hirsch hunting strictly a lazy mans
pastime. A hunt master locates
the stamping ground of an animal
and sets up the hunt. The hunter,
diploma safely behind him, sits
out in the forest and presently the
hirsch comes into view.
Provided the hunter knows what
he's doing with a gun, the animal
is soon dead. But nobody straps
it onto a fender and heads for
home.
The next ceremony Is fanciful
and STEPPED in the tradition of
centuries. A twig is dipped into
the animals blood by the hunt
master, who then presents it TO
the hunter with proper and re-
quired remarks. Hunting horns
play too. And then often comes a
part American hunters have taken
to easily: Everybody has a big
snort of schnapps.
Still they're not through. Because
over here you don't just bundle
up your game and head home. You
pay for il first. Americans attend
ing German hunting schools adj
mire the vast knowledge Of forest
lore the teachers display. Plenty
have learned how not TO be Sunday
hunters.
But this business Of paying for
the game after buying a license.
That hurts.
