    If you want to hunt, you have to successfully pass a hunter's exam and get a hunting license.

    Preparatory courses for the hunter's examination are offered by the district groups of the state hunters' association and by private hunting schools. Participation in a course in preparation for the exam is highly recommended.

    In order to meet the needs of the interested group of people, both short-term intensive courses and courses lasting several months are offered to choose from.

    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.
