German deer calling champion Fabian Wenzel wins national title, heads to European championships.

German hunters recently competed in a national deer calling championship in Dortmund, a centuries-old tradition aimed at imitating the bellowing sounds of red deer during the rutting season. Contestants used tools like ox horns and giant hogweed stems to amplify their calls in three judged categories. The event was won by Fabian Wenzel from Bavaria, who will represent Germany in the European Stag Calling Championships in Lithuania in October.
