Stefan Rührgartner has been a trainer at the Wolfratshausen Hunting Group for 20 years.

He has now been awarded for this.

Wolfratshausen – Stefan Rührgartner was delighted when he received the award: The Eurasburger runs the hunting course at the Wolfratshausen hunting district group and has been training hunting students in two of six subjects for 20 years.

He recently received a certificate for his commitment from the association's chairman, Heinz Repert.

Stirring gartner's interest in hunting awoke early on.

“As a country kid, I was more to be found on the bulldog than doing my homework,” says the 50-year-old and laughs.

When he went to school in the Schäftlarn monastery – today he is the head of administration there – there were three comrades in his class who also fancied hunting.

"I got my hunting license when I was 25."

Theoretically, you can acquire it once you have reached the age of 16 – too early in the eyes of Rührgartner.

“On the one hand, at that age you have other things on your mind – girlfriend, training, graduation or a party.

And: He or she needs a driver every time to come to the hunting course.” Because to complete this course you need stamina.

It lasts at least a year and includes subjects related to the handling of hunting weapons and fishing gear, the biology of wild species, wildlife conservation and excursions, and the construction of hunting grounds, to name just a few.

In a training that lasts only a few weeks, not even the beginning of theoretical and practical knowledge can be imparted.

There are short courses in Bavaria, as are often offered in other federal states, but: "In an apprenticeship that only lasts a few weeks, not even the slightest bit of theoretical and practical knowledge can be taught." and want exams at the same level.

He himself came to the hunting course as an instructor through the club's chairman at the time, Siegfried Rieger.

Today, Rührgartner directs the training courses, draws up the timetables and determines the divisions.

"I enjoy sharing my knowledge - and seeing someone get excited when you've lit the flame of interest."

Interest in hunting has also increased among women over the past 20 years.

Before the outbreak of the corona pandemic, about a third of the students were female.

"Then there was a slump during Corona." There was only one woman in each of the two courses held during this time.

Allocation of tree branches: Profi has a tip for examinees

When asked about strange occurrences, Rührgartner has to laugh.

"They mostly happen in the oral exam." A student once had problems with the assignment of different tree branches.

“I recommended rubbing the needles.

The fir tree then smells like a fresh air spray.” However, the examinee was given a branch without needles, but still rubbed and sniffed it.

At some point, the examiner asked skeptically.

"What are you actually doing there?

There's nothing to smell there.

That's a maple." "But what now," the student countered quick-wittedly, "is that a Norway maple or a sycamore?" (sh)
