The German word for hunter is jنger. While in Bavaria I encountered der Jنgermeister, which English sources tells me means "hunting expert". Der Jنgermeister I met seemed more like a park ranger. At the radio site I worked, we had a dog named Barney, who got out of the gate occasionally. Apparently the dog would chase the deer into a territorial fence used to keep the deer in a defined area. The last time der Jنgermeister threw Barney over the fence back onto the radio site, he promised to shoot him if he ever found him again.
Can our German reading friends tell me more about der Jنgermeister, his role traditionally and his modern role? I'd be grateful for any source material.
