Hunting for predators

Foxes, badgers, raccoons, and raccoon dogs are found in almost every hunting ground in Germany. Every hunter thus potentially has the opportunity to hunt predators. And yet, these predators are often spared, partly because the price for pelts and furs has dropped sharply. Furthermore, in many places, hoofed game has become the focus of hunters. But there are good reasons to consistently hunt predators. Because by hunting foxes, badgers, and co., we not only help our native small game species but also endangered species, such as redshanks, lapwings, or black-tailed godwits. In this book, wildlife biologist Dr. Konstantin Börner and Christian Hembes explain why consistent predator hunting pays off and how it is practiced in a modern way today.
