I have to make the perception that eino more and more in the rise bogriffeno exercise dor hunting takes place in Kreison of the Deutschon, often nimut di Jngdaus- exercise such a extent that sic with don duties and dom of yo- the German in the local Reum constantly to fordorndon personal commitment for him obliging tasks in the fifth year of crucifixion is not preconceived, Insbosondere is the urge of such hunters, who in the goreiften life-altor stchen, but orst now the Jägor test has been lied off, abfallond, It is hardly to be said that they have discovered their hunting passion and their waidmännischon Ido-ale, which urge them to pursue, first jot. It is usually other, so transparent reasons, namely those of a billi.- to Fleigchbeschufürig, which make these "Such hunters" neglect their tasks in critical enterprises and Ämtorn. It is appropriate to appeal to the Gewisson of each and every one of them whether he can still reconcile his hunting with his duties towards the front and home. The Horr Reichsjägermeister has already made a restriction on the admission to the examination for the acquisition of dos first annual hunting license in the Reich in the previous year, There are only those.Jäger or, hunting candidate for the examination, who have not yet exceeded the age of 25, are admitted there. If with my explicit approval so far in the protectorate gowisae, reliefs and exceptions are granted, this did not happen dosh lb, in order to allow here every German unconditionally the hunting, but for purely national political considerations, the so far valid exceptions, however, did not hold back these candidates to the hunting test, on the contrary, They were not only not understood, but also misused, instead of the previously intended restriction to really considerable individual cases, a demand for the hunting test becomes noticeable, I expect that in future the exercise of the hunting within those most necessary, the legitimate claims of the agriculture and forestry for the prevention of wild damage In addition to the fact that the shooting and the necessary hunting activities are not carried out by the frequency of St.M.g-113/43.
