Hi all,
Last February I got drawn into playing of the Jagdhorn (the Furst-Pless version) with a local German hunters group that do weekly training sessions, they then do play "Das letzte Halali" (the end of hunting at hunters funerals) / Hubertus celebrations and Xmas markets where the hunting group sells game meat sausages / salami or other concoctions. It is also played after driven or organised hunts where the game is laid out with the "last bite" rite similar to your game poles. Now I am in a second group also and have just aquired the loden jacket & vest for me to match up with the rest of the group.
I am just wondering if this playing is done in the USA / Canada at all?
Socially for me it is very fulfilling.

Glad you're enjoying your participation in that. Doubtless it will help show those who straddle the fence between anti-hunting and acceptance of game hunting that we are not all unfeeling, bloodthirsty boors.

OBTW, it's CHRISTmas here, not Xmas.

bavarianbrit,
You bring back a lot of memories, some sad but most happy. The horns are also used to signal directions to hunters in the field.
