   Hello Les,

   Can you please tell me where I can purchase one of those running rabbit target systems? I’m from Australia.
   With thanks in advance,

   Chris.

      I’m afraid since those systems are heavy and bulky you would probably have to purchase something from within Australia. I also replied via separate correspondence.

      Hello there! On the MWR site under “Hunting Instructional Material” you’ll find what is covered in the course. Mind you, this is for the course that is given by Wiesbaden MWR not any course that is given on the economy. The course the German’s go through is 6 months versus our 3 month course. Here is the link to the MWR site: https://wiesbaden.armymwr.com/programs/hunting-fishing-sport-shooting

   Good Afternoon

   Can you advise how we get a UK licence to German, we received the info from Barnim.

   “I would like to point out once again that in order to issue a foreigner’s day hunting licence, you must submit a valid, certified and translated hunting authorisation from your home country.”

   Can any US citizen living in Germany take the MWR course?

      Unfortunately, the answer to that is no. You have to be some form of DoD ID card holder in Germany due to the agreement with the US and the German governments. I know the German course is longer and more expensive and I suppose depending on your VISA status in Germany would determine if you can take the German course.

   Good afternoon,
   I’m currently living in Luxembourg and want to get a hunting licence. I can take the exam in Germany since they don’t offer english courses here. Can you please share where/how I can take the course in english. FYI I don’t work for the DoD.

   thanks!

      Good day!
      That’s a tough question. To even take the test here you have to take the 3-month course that is part prior to taking the test and to qualify to take the course you have to be a DoD cardholder stationed or living/sponsored in Germany. The only thing I can suggest if you want to hunt is check out the requirement from some of these companies that offer paid hunts in Spain, Poland, and other countries. Depending on the game you may have to qualify by shooting specific static and moving targets before the hunt.
      This site is just a quick example of a hunting outfit that I found on google: http://ultimatehunting.eu/
