Why does hunting come to a halt on All Saints’ Day? For many European hunters, November 1 is a time for silence, remembrance, and reflection. Although there is no blanket legal ban on hunting, rifles remain in their safes out of respect for a centuries-old tradition. Discover the meaning behind this hunting custom and why knowing when not to pull the trigger is an essential part of ethical hunting.

The chamois rut begins in November, pushing mature bucks to their physical limits. Scientific studies reveal why older bucks play an important role in reproduction, how much energy the breeding season demands, and how climate change is affecting Alpine chamois populations. What do these findings mean for chamois hunting, harvest planning, and sustainable wildlife management in the European Alps?

Wolves, golden jackals, wildlife monitoring, and the protection of alpine grazing lands: the challenges facing Carinthia’s hunters are becoming increasingly complex.

One message became clear: hunting is more important today than ever before.
