Good evening,

In the German hunting system, there are shooting preserves where licensed hunters can lease the hunting rights.

Not substantially better than your version but less wordy and more natural sounding to my ear.

Thank you very much, I think you´re right, this sounds more naturally.
I wanted to put out the difference to other hunting systems, this is why I expressed myself so complicated...but I guess it would be sound better when expressed a little shorter.
