Germany has a wonderful history of hunting, and a host of ways for eligible USAG Wiesbaden affiliated participants to enjoy hunting while stationed here. Our knowledgeable instructors and volunteers can help you reach your hunting goals while living abroad. In the U.S. Forces German Hunting Course, you will learn laws, traditions, safety, game identification, and overall knowledge to become a more well-rounded hunter. You will also learn the requirements and procedure to apply for your Jagdshein (German Hunting License). Whether you enjoy hunting on a private or public land, or are interested in trophy hunting throughout Europe, the Wiesbaden HFSS is here to point you to the right opportunities.
