For the first time this year, the legendary Salzburg Stag Calling Championships will take place without the extremely talented and consistently victorious Hochleitner family.
Before such a championship, I practice every other day for 20 minutes. In the living room when the family is not at home”, Christian Hochleitner, who has been a deer call master several times, once revealed his recipe for success to the “Krone”. With tools such as sea snails, plastic pipes or hollow ox horns, he mastered the imitation of animal love cries to perfection. But the legend will no longer take part in this year’s deer calling competition as part of the “Die Hohe Jagd & Fischer” trade fair. No one else from the Hochleitner family will be starting either In the past we have always heard the accusation that I or someone from our family always wins anyway. That’s why the youngsters should now go for it,” says Christian Hochleitner. Although the deer call legend was once again asked by the new organizer of the competition, the Salzburg Hunting Protection Association, whether he wanted to take part in the competition again, but he declined: “It was too short notice and would have been too much for me.” was able to demonstrate his skills in the past, but this year he definitely wants to win: “To be a good stag caller , you have to put yourself in the shoes of the deer,” he says about his strategy. Whether it is actually enough for him to win the championship will be seen on February 19th at 10 a.m. at the Salzburg Exhibition Centre.
