Waiting times for applications for hunting license: Hunter must be patient now!

Schwelm, Deutschland - The hunting license applications in the Ennepe-Ruhr district are faced with an unprecedented challenge! The lower hunting authority now not only has to accept the applications, but also include the arms authority of the police and other positions such as customs and federal police. This leads to a real traffic jam of applications, especially for those who have moved several times in the past ten years. "Every move means additional queries to the responsible police authorities," warns the administration. The complexity of the processing has increased dramatically!

The district administration in Schwelm raises the alarm! Hunters have to prepare for weeks. Every year, between 500 and 600 applications for extension are made in the Ennepe-Ruhr district. Due to technical changes and the inexperience of the newly involved authorities, additional delays in the initial phase are inevitable. "Set your applications early!" is the urgent advice of the administration so as not to get into the queue.

who is affected?

of the approximately 2150 hunting license owners in the Ennepe-Ruhr district are assigned around 1,800 applications from the district police authority, while the 340 applications from Witten are forwarded to the Bochum police headquarters. The Situation is tense and the hunters are faced with the challenge of submitting their applications in good time so as not to endanger the hunting season. The new requirements for processing the applications could significantly impair the hunting plans in the region!
