What is WaidStart?
Your hunting journey begins here.
Have you passed the hunting exam and earned your first hunting license? Congratulations—now what? Between getting your first gear, joining a hunting club, getting insurance, and asking yourself, “Where do I even start?” the start of your hunting life can often feel overwhelming.
This is exactly where WaidStart comes in: the young hunters’ program from JAGD & HUND.
AT A GLANCE
Program & Knowledge
Program for hunting students and young hunters—online, within the community, and at the trade show. Guidance, knowledge, equipment tips, and connections to hunting grounds—curated, not just thrown together.
Your Young Hunter Pass
Your personal Young Hunter Pass, featuring benefits and partner discounts. Guided tours with experienced guides—personalized rather than overwhelming; spots are strictly limited.
The WaidStart Base Camp
The WaidStart Basecamp is the central hub at JAGD & HUND. Your first three years as a young hunter won’t come around again—be there so others can talk about it later.
Your Benefits
As a new hunter, you’re faced with many decisions all at once: Which scope? Which gun? How do I get a hunting lease? What do I need for my first driven hunt? There are plenty of options out there—but no clear starting point. WaidStart is that starting point—at the trade show, you’ll be personally greeted at the WaidStart Base Camp.
Guidance Instead of Sensory Overload
Instead of navigating the halls on your own, you’ll find curated themes, clear pathways, and staff members who can answer your questions.
Knowledge That Keeps You Safe
Micro-sessions, open Q&A sessions with experts, and hands-on formats—short, to the point, and honest.
Equipment Tips Without Any Sales Pressure
You’ll find out what you really need—and what can wait.
Hands-On Experience
Guided tours, live demos, and hands-on stations.
Connection and Community
You’ll find a sense of community on the Community Wall and through community events.
Benefits That Pay Off
With your Young Hunter Pass, you’ll get exclusive partner offers and discounts to help you get started.
The Young Hunter’s Pass
The Young Hunter Pass is your key to WaidStart —and your proof that you’re part of the community. It’s not just valid at the trade show; it also opens the door to benefits and the community.
Here’s how to get your passport
Pick up your pass directly at the Welcome & Check-In in the WaidStart Basecamp . Even more convenient: Book your trade fair ticket including the Young Hunter Pass, or just the Young Hunter Pass, directly in the ticket shop. This way you can skip the on-site registration and get started right away.

Guided Tours
A trade show with hundreds of exhibitors can be overwhelming—especially at first. Our Guided Tours are WaidStart’s live format at the trade show. They start at the WaidStart Basecamp and make JAGD & HUND easier, more personal, and more accessible for you.
Registration
The guided tours are in high demand and usually book up quickly—there are only 10–20 spots per tour. Sign up at the Welcome & Check-In desk at the WaidStart Basecamp. Don’t wait too long: If you’re late, you’ll end up watching instead of participating.
Tickets
Secure your spot before it’s too late.
WaidStart is here for you—you can experience the program live at the WaidStart Basecamp at JAGD & HUND. Once a year, for a limited time. Your ticket grants you access to the Basecamp: full access to the trade show and all offerings of the Young Hunter Program. Book the Young Hunter Pass right away, and you’ll skip the lines and get right in—so you won’t miss any of the limited-time promotions.
Are you coming as a hunting school? Then be sure to get the discounted group ticket (for 10 or more people) and experience the fair together with your entire class. This course, this moment, only happens once—make the most of it together.
Our Partners
WaidStart thrives on strong partners from all areas of hunting. They make the program possible and support you with their services.
