Of hunters and the hunted - fireside chats in the hunting lodge
“Of hunters and the hunted - fireside chats in the hunting lodge” takes the reader on a journey through 70 years of hunting history. Gert G. v. Harling, an experienced hunting writer, and hunting guide Georg von Borstel conduct an in-depth analysis of the development of hunting in evening conversations in a hunting lodge. Together they explore the question of what is left of the true roots of hunting and what will remain in the future - despite modern technologies such as thermal imaging cameras and long-range rifles. The two men, who grew up in a time when hunting still made physical, mental and ethical demands on the hunter, reflect on the changes and the transformation of the hunting business. They ask themselves what has remained of the noble art of hunting and how hunting has developed over the decades. This book offers atmospheric stories on the subject of “Quo vadis hunting?” and sheds light on the views and experiences of two passionate hunters in a retrospective. In this work, Gert G. v. Harling, well-known as a specialist book author, hunting narrator and DJV Culture Prize winner, puts his profound thoughts and insights on paper regarding the development of hunting and its future.
