    The responsibility lies with the district, the independent city and the Hanover region.

    The hunting license alone does not entitle you to hunt. In addition, a private-law permit is required to hunt in a hunting district. This can be obtained, for example, by leasing a hunting ground, by issuing a hunting permit or by issuing a hunting invitation from a hunting ground owner.
