Ninth day of game: Tyrolean hunting inspires in Innsbruck

Last Saturday the ninth Game Day took place in Innsbruck's old town, organized by the Tyrolean Hunters' Association. This event is an annual celebration that highlights the connection between nature and the city. The event offered numerous attractions for those interested in hunting, including stands with hunting equipment, musical performances with hunting horns and delicious game dishes that catered for every taste.

The festival was attended by various representatives of the Tyrolean Hunting Association and the Tyrolean Hunting Protection Association together with prominent guests of honor such as Mayor Johannes Anzengruber and the second deputy mayor Elisabeth Mayr. This event is not only an expression of appreciation for the work of hunters, but also an opportunity to share the passion for nature and wildlife.

Highlights of the program

There was a colorful program for the visitors, which took place on the main stage. Moderated by Lisa Kuprian, representatives of hunting associations and companies that support Tyrolean hunting spoke. These companies included Swarovski Optik, known for their high-quality binoculars, and the Blaser Group, which specializes in hunting equipment.

The event also attracted the hunters' four-legged companions, which the head of the Stubai Jaghornklang summed up aptly: "What is a hunter without his weapon, his dog and the horn?" Hunting dogs such as dachshunds and bloodhounds were presented to the spectators, while the hunting horn players from the Mierminger Plateau provided musical entertainment.

The two big highlights of the day were the appearance of the Sunnseiten and an impressive fashion show with hunting and traditional costume fashion from companies such as Heu & Stroh and Gössl. Among the pieces presented, a particularly magnificent couture dirndl could be admired.

There was also a lot to discover for the little visitors. The children were thrilled by a craft station that used natural materials and the opportunity to marvel at hunting trophies. They were also able to climb a high stand and gain an insight into the world of hunters. There were numerous stands available for adults where they could find out about products or buy directly.

When it comes to culinary delights, the festival guests also got their money's worth. The Tyrolean taverns Goldener Adler and Weisses Rössl offered freshly prepared game specialties, which were accompanied by a freshly tapped beer or a good glass of wine, rounding off the day with enjoyment.
