Common Pheasant
Common Pheasant

(Phasianus colchicus)

The pheasant belongs to the gallinaceous birds (game birds). The cocks (roosters) carry a brilliantly colorful plumage and very long tail feathers (Stoßfedern), whereas the hens have a brownish, inconspicuous coloration. Its natural range spans the countries between the Black Sea, the arid regions of Central Asia, all the way to East Asia.

The pheasant has been introduced for hunting purposes across many countries in Europe, the United States, and numerous other parts of the world. Its natural habitat consists of open forests with undergrowth, semi-open landscapes, or wetlands that provide ample cover. A dynamic alternation between heavy cover and open areas used for foraging is vital for maintaining a stable population. Their primary diet consists of seeds and berries, but also insects and other small invertebrates.

The cock has a body length of 70–90 cm, with roughly half of that consisting of its long tail. Hens are about 10–30 cm smaller and reach a body weight of up to 1.4 kg, while cocks can weigh up to 1.5 kg.

Only the cock carries long spurs on its legs, the length of which can be used to determine its age. Among game pheasants, two primary types can be distinguished: the Bohemian copper pheasant and the Chinese ring-necked pheasant, which differ slightly in the coloration of their plumage.

Wild Boar
Wild Boar

(Sus scrofa)

The wild boar belongs to the family of Old World or true pigs. Due to its exceptionally high adaptability, it is found continuously from Europe to Southeast Asia. Furthermore, there are also substantial populations in North Africa, making the wild boar one of the most widely distributed game species in the world. The intensification of agriculture in particular has contributed to the widespread distribution and population growth of the wild boar. Depending on the habitat, they can reach live weights of up to 350 kg and shoulder heights of up to 120 cm.

Wild boars possess a highly developed social structure and live in small to large sounders. These groups usually consist of several sows, yearlings, and piglets, and are led by an experienced matriarch (Leitbache). Older boars (Keiler) are generally solitary and only seek out the proximity of the sounders during the breeding season (Rauschzeit).

High intelligence, along with an excellent sense of smell and hearing, makes hunting wild boar a constant challenge. This is precisely what constitutes its unique appeal.

Mallard
Mallard

(Anas platyrhynchos)

The mallard is a very widespread dabbling duck in Eurasia and the ancestral form of the domestic duck. It can reach wingspans of up to 95 cm and a body length of up to 58 cm. Except for about two months (July/August), the drakes wear their striking breeding plumage. The metallic-green head with the white neck ring and yellow bill makes them unmistakable. During the molt, the drake wears its brown-gray speckled eclipse plumage with a blue wing speculum, looking very similar to the female duck. At this stage, only the dark bill of the females and the yellow bill of the drakes help to distinguish them.

Mallards are extremely adaptable and occur almost anywhere there is water. They can even be found in densely populated cities. Their migratory behavior varies greatly by region. While ducks in northern areas migrate to warmer regions in winter, ducks in southern areas are sedentary residents. The distances of these migrations can vary significantly. Mallards fly fast and straight, and they are capable of taking off almost vertically.
