A Japanese surgeon I follow on youtube is a deer hunter on Hokkaido. He is pretty close to getting his rifled firearm license, it takes 10 years of smoothbore hunting to earn one.
There is a season, but there is essentially no limit so he and the other hunters often take only the choice cuts, which offends a lot of folks from the US and Europe who don’t grasp that at this population density deer and “dangerous varmint” are synonymous.
There are so few hunters they couldn’t kill enough to manage the population even if they had no rules at all but the government doesn’t seem to be taking steps to make the process easier. Ideology over pragmatism.

Isn’t this similar to something we did in 1944?
Is there not a single bowhunter in Japan??

I love that in one Providence, in which 80% of all wolves attacks happened, they had 150 hunters go out and not a single one even saw a wolf let alone successfully hunted one. That nationwide during the entire season only one wolves had been killed, and another wounded.
I’m absolutely shocked that a culture that has condemned firearm ownership and hunters for more than two generation is incapable of producing competent hunters! 🙂
I’m also shocked that once again their solution is to bring in the Americans (from both United States and Canada) to save their behinds! 🙂

Last time I was in Japan on business I bought my wife a lovely deerskin clasp wallet for about $100 in one of the many, many shops in Nara, where deer are revered for their part in becoming traditional craft products as well as their tourism draw. A whole purse was several hundred, and I didn’t think my company expense account would swallow that.
