On tonight's show we follow the amazing Miss Hunter Germany as she looks to take a running
wild boar in the forests of the Czech Rep. Keep watching to see how she does. Welcome
to Realtree Global Hunting. In tonight's episode we are in the Czech Rep with our good friends
at Cervus UK. Owen Beardsmore and Count Leonhard Colloredo-Mansfeld have invited their close
friends and associates on another driven hunt. The hunters gather deep in the beautiful Czech
forest and prepare for a cold day in their high seats. The temperature has dropped and
theres the threat of snow in the air. Although the usual suspects are all here we aren't
following the rabble today. Today we are following Miss Hunter Germany 2011 and 2012, Helga Wimmer.
As always Leonhard's Jagermeister Milan sounds the horn to start proceedings and every pays
respect to the game. As the hunter's head off Helga is in good spirits and looking forward
to the hunt. She's dropped at the edge of a thick forest and makes her way to the seat.
So, Hello, my name is Helga, I am from Austria, and I was Miss Hunter of Germany in 2011 and
2012. I have done hunting now, for 5 years, and right now we are in Prague, in Dobris.
We are going to do some shooting, for deers, wild boars and other animals, and yeah, we
shall see what happens, so it is going to be a good day. The drive starts off slow and
Helga waits patiently. Although the forest is dense, there tree trunks and bare and visibility
is good in most directions As always here in Dobris Milan and Leonhard have given the
hunters a list of animals that are fair game and others that aren't. Several times each
year hunters are invited into these forests to help control animal numbers. Only game
with high numbers are taken to ensure that they don't over populate the forest and put
a strain on the food supply. Too many animals in these woods over the harsh Czech winter
and an entire herd could become malnourished. Helga waits and before long there's a pair
of eyes looking her way. But, it doesn't stick around the white back side of a whitetail
deer can be seen darting through the trees. This is our seat here, and it is kind of interesting
and good. We can shoot, straight, or left, or right, and approximately 100 metres away,
but there are no other animals here. We have seen one white tail deer. We have another
half an hour, and hopefully I can shoot, try my best. After waiting for 2 hours the drive
comes to a close and Helga heads back to the road. Back at the tableau and there's plenty
of game been taken this morning, despite all being quiet in Helga's part of the woods.
Every one grabs a bite to eat and relives the mornings action. There's plenty of stories
to be told. As the hunters ready themselves for the afternoon drive the snow begins to
fall and the temperature plummets. Helga heads to her seat and gets set up for the afternoon.
I'm ready to rumble! She has a good view through the forest and a few small clearings of sight.
Within minutes of being in the seat there's a group of small boar running across a small
ride ahead of her. She fires twice, but isn't sure how she's done. They were so fast, I
just tried my best, and shoot twice, we will see. It is just a small road down there, so
I don't no. We will check. The beaters head across her path moving any game on, but...
nothings moving in this part of the woods. As the light begins to fade the temperature
drops even further and Helga's not enjoying it. The snow begins to fall again. It is so
cold! So so cold! But we have just an hour left, and I want to shoot! So, stay calm!
However, her patience pays off and minutes before the drive is due to finish a big boar
comes running out of the thick stuff and behind her seat. She fires once and hits the boar,
but hes still running. A second shot drops him and hes out for the count. A few final
kicks and he passes. Seconds later the drive finishes and Helga's quick to get down and
to tag her wild boar. Ok, this is my pig, it came in the last few minutes, yeah it was
a little bit crazy, but I tried my best to catch one. First shot is here, the second
shot, the other one is down there, because I didn't have any space, and yeah, it happened
so fast, but I am glad I have one now. I have my pig, and that is fine! Back at the tableau
there's plenty of game taken today and the beaters collect it all together ready for
the ceremony. Everyone gathers to show their respects to the fallen game as Leonhard and
Milan thank them for coming. Another amazing Czech driven hunt with the guys here and Cervus
UK. These beautiful forests always provide an amazing hunting experience and a warm welcome
for hunters from across Europe. As all the hunters head into the tableau to find their
quarry Helga finds her boar. After a few pictures those who have taken their first species all
subjected to the usual tradition of a whack on the backside. Helga's keen to help out!
Milan sounds the horn one last time and the game is respected by all. To find out more
