I would not exactly characterize that as "Hunting".

Good god! Talk about bringing your "possee" along!

True, I should've said "out shooting driven game".

I guess they didn't want the Kaiser to look bad as a hunter!

He actually was a pretty decent hunter, despite of a left arm that was disfigured and mostly without function due to childhood polio disease. This is why he favoured short carbines.

Paul Mauser made a number of custom hunting rifles for him.

Sort of puts to rest the retailers' myth that the Luger Carbine was the Kaiser's preferred hunting weapon.

This is a 1910 version of early video games, where stuff runs across your field of vision left-to-right and you shoot at them from a fixed position!

When he went fishing he shot fish in a barrel
