Help in the hunting ground
Emergency preparation for hunting: help for injured people, veterinary contacts and emergency care for hunting dogs.
Give the exact location or coordinates, describe what happened, state the number of people injured and any visible injuries. Stay available in case you are contacted with questions, and follow the instructions of the emergency call centre.
An emergency call is no substitute for practical first-aid training. Ask recognised aid organisations about current courses.
What to do after a wildlife-related road accident →The SVLFG recommends checking network availability, telling another person your location and expected return time, and keeping first-aid supplies within reach. First-aid knowledge should be refreshed regularly.
For joint hunts, responsibilities, communication channels and a suitable access point for the rescue service should be agreed in advance. Use known rescue points where available, and agree with the hunt leader how helpers will be directed to the scene of the accident.

Before a hunt, save veterinary contacts, directions and a transport plan. If a dog is injured, stop its work, alert the hunt leader and arrange veterinary help. Give the location, symptoms, time and mechanism of injury; follow the veterinary team’s instructions.
The closest available service depends on your location and the time. Local practices are not automatically on duty around the clock. Check current availability before setting off. For immediately life-threatening emergencies, the Nürnberg Hafen clinic states that direct arrival is possible even without prior telephone contact.
