You can have your hunting license extended for one hunting year or for three hunting years.
If you wish to hunt, you must have a hunting license. The hunting license must be carried when hunting. The hunting license is issued in Stuttgart by the Office for Public Order, Lower Hunting Authority, if the requirements are met. It entitles the holder to hunt in the federal territory and to purchase long guns which are permitted for hunting. A preliminary entry in the gun ownership card is required for handguns.
If you do not have your own hunting ground, the consent of the respective hunting ground owner is required in addition to the hunting license.
Hunting licenses from other federal states are also valid in Baden-Württemberg. Please note that hunting licenses not issued in Germany (foreign hunting licenses) do not entitle you to hunt in Germany or to purchase weapons.
