Upper Austria's hunting champion Herbert Sieghartsleitner wants to draw consequences for hunting from the case of the Mühlviertel hunter Roland Drexler. At present, however, the state hunting association still seems to have its hands tied all too often in problematic cases in order to completely exclude such hunters.

The double murder in Mühlviertel, including the subsequent cat-and-mouse game played by the perpetrator in the hunting community, shines a spotlight on the approximately 18,500 hunters in Upper Austria. State master hunter Herbert Sieghartsleitner does not want to return to "everyday life".
