Stage becomes a rutting ground

The main stage in Hall 4 of the Jagd & Hund trade fair in Dortmund will once again become the rutting ground for Germany's best deer imitators on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 12 noon. In the competition organized by WILD UND HUND and the Jagd & Hund trade fair, participants must compete in the following disciplines:

1. The Voice of the Old, Searching Deer

2. The voice of the top stag in the bald deer herd

3. Calling duel between two equally strong stags at the height of the rut

 

This time, the stabbing disciplines – if necessary – are the cry of the victorious stag after the fight and the contact call of an adult animal.

 

In addition to valuable non-cash prizes for all participants, the top 3 winners will receive a trip to the European Deer Calling Championships, which will take place in Lithuania from 17 to 19 October 2025.

 

Anyone who would like to compete for the title in Dortmund can register for the competition by January 13, 2025 by email at hirschrufer@paulparey.de or by post to the editorial office of WILD UND HUND, Erich-Kästner-Str. 2, 56379 Singhofen, in each case with the keyword “Hirschrufer”.
