In Dortmund, Germany, hunters gathered for the National Deer Calling Championship, proving they can bleat better than the rest! This centuries-old tradition mimics a stag’s call during mating season and was originally used to lure deer out for the hunt.

Held at the Jagd & Hund (Hunting & Dog) trade fair, the event featured competitors in classic green hats, channelling their inner deer using ox horns, snail shells, glass tubes—and even giant hogweed stems. The Championship was held in three categories: the call of the old, searching stag, of the dominant male in a doe-pack, and call during the head-to-head stag duel during the rutting season.
For the best deer vibes, judges listened with their eyes closed! The five-time champ, Fabian Wenzel, described it as “playing with the stags”. His next stop is at the European Stag Calling Championships to be held in Lithuania in October 2025. Way to go, deer!
