Welcome aboard @Bowbenderjp

Can you enlighten us on the hunting opportunities in Japan? I’ve heard that there are hunts for Sika deer and Wild Boar.

John,
Thank you for the reply. This is from a few years ago. This article gives an insight into how things are here. Basically the country is not gun or hunter friendly, definitely no bow hunting. No outfitters or renting a firearm even if you have a friend here who has a gun license. There are a few clubs, but not being a native speaker makes things difficult. Simply finding a spot to fling some arrows (western style archery) has been extremely difficult, as archery is viewed as a school club sport for young people utilizing Olympic style equipment. At least in the Kyushu area. My hunting time in the future will be back to the states for a few weeks or a trip somewhere I can afford to go to. Unfortunately the dreams cost more than the available! If the draconian laws and mindset here would change Japan would be a great spot…literally hogs everywhere and the deer numbers up north are so overpopulated…and bear…always reported in the news about the animal problems.

Respectfully,
Bowbenderjp

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
