Hunting seasons in Burgenland
Burgenland: the open seasons for every game species, class by class, and where they differ from the dates that hold everywhere in Austria. The HunTracker app carries the same dates, opens on the country you are in and shows what is open today.
Burgenland's own seasons: the national dates with the area's main deviations. The area's regulation in force prevails.
