When dining and drinking in the company of J�gers, and someone toasts with "Waidmanns Heil", use your left hand. Use of the right hand may cost you a round of drinks for the table. Don't ask me how I know.
This is from the tradition of a knighted person. Once you were knighted you did most things with your left hand other than hold the reigns of your horse.
Many ceremonies upon the completion of the hunting class include a knighting ceremony. It was a very emotional experience.
Our Knighting ceremony was conducted In a castle in Kusel Germany. The owner of the property was a hunter and was very happy to accomodate us.
