I don't know how many Brits are reading the forum, but I don't want to annoy this group in any way. There is a certain caricature of the British hunter, just as there is a caricature of the French or German hunter. In practice, however, things often look completely different.

In the area of southwest Germany where I sometimes hunt, on driven hunts where many guests are invited, I have at times met British hunters as guests. In terms of their appearance, these hunters in no way corresponded to the cliché of the British hunter, but were hardly distinguishable from the local hunters. Their rifles was also comparable to ours, as does their concept of hunting.
