100 years of hunting tradition: Outslers celebrate with exciting competition!

Reutte, Österreich - The year 2023 was a very special for the State Hunting Protection Association Ausserfern. On the occasion of his 100th anniversary, founded in 1925, extraordinary celebrations took place. These were recognized by a hunting shooting in the picturesque area Namlos and Kesselwald, where tradition and hunting culture were celebrated in an impressive way. The association chairman Stefan Barbist expressed his thanks to the district tenants Ulli Höwing and Paul Grässle, who generously provided the locations.

The participants had the opportunity to shoot under real hunting conditions. Targeted shots were released on a pulling deer, a boar and a roebuck. A gamm disc 150 meters made for a special challenge. In addition, the honor disc played an important role in this competition. A total of 65 hunters and hunting card owners competed, including 11 women. On this occasion not only skill and precision were required, but also the sense of community within the hunting community.

results and highlights

The success of the best hunter, Sonja Falbesoner, was particularly gratifying, who achieved excellent 45 out of 50 possible rings. Christian Paulweber won the men with 48 rings, followed by Thomas Barbist and Christoph Eisnecker. A very special highlight was the participation of Hubert Poberschnigg, the oldest participant who achieved 44 rings and thus took the 12th place.

The honor disc secured Bernhard Bissarski, while Peter Koch from Bichlbach took second place. The entire event was supported by the tireless efforts of Peter Lechleitner, who was also expressed.

key data for hunting

hunting has a long tradition in Austria that not only promotes nature conservation but also domestic wildlife. The nationwide hunting statistics that are created annually provide important information about kills and wildlife losses. This data is monitored and collected by district administrative authorities and state hunting associations. Regional hunting years are defined differently: In Carinthia, Lower Austria, Salzburg and Vienna, the calendar year applies, while in Burgenland from February 1 to 31 January. In the other federal states, the period applies from April 1 to March 31st.
