Hunting in Bilmer Strauch: traffic trap or animal adventure?

On Friday, December 20, 2024, a large -scale hunting takes place in the Bilmer Strauch, near Lüneburg and Scharnebeck. The Lower Saxony Forestry Office Sellhorn carries out this hunt and announces that the state road L221 between the Elbe side channel and the village of Neu Sülbeck will be temporarily limited from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. from 70 km/h. This is done for security reasons, since wildlife and hunting dogs unexpectedly cross the street. The hunting event could therefore have a significant impact on the flow of traffic.

Forreferendarin Friederike Böttger asks all road users with special attention and advises forest visitors to use other forest areas on this day to avoid possible dangers. This hunting is part of the regular forest management, which plays an important role in the management of wild populations and is also practiced in other regions. According to the Bavarian State Forests, around 4,400 private hunters are intensive part of the director of directing, which shows how the integration of private hunters into such events is a widespread practice. Around 12 percent of the total hunting areas are leased, which underlines the great importance of hunting for forestry, as baysf.de reports.

In addition, the Bavarian State Forests offer numerous opportunities for hunters to take part in Jagden, as well as special permits for different types of hunting. This includes both collective seats and single hunts, which promotes flexible and diverse participation in hunting in the state forest. The hunting practices are not only important for the management of the forests, but also ensure that game stocks are kept in a healthy balance. The full range of hunting options and specific information can be obtained directly from the regional forest companies, such as Landesforsten.de emphasized.
