I was shocked, and then realized I must have just assumed it like everyone else did.<br /><br />Interesting sign!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-88215835871927581042014-01-05T00:42:01.059+09:002014-01-05T00:42:01.059+09:00Thanks for that link Anonymous @ 10:48 PM.
That w...Thanks for that link Anonymous @ 10:48 PM.<br /><br />That was an eye opener for sure. Interesting and some spectacular photos.<br /><br />For some reason it seems almost bizarre to me that Japan has an over population of deer along with wild hog problems. It was bit like reading about Texas, or southern Iowa, or something.<br /><br /><br />Even more surprising (or unexpected?) to me was that women were getting more into hunting.<br /><br />Too bad it's all still regulated as all get out.<br /><br />- RothbardianamericanHelotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-88215615320836617492014-01-03T22:48:45.423+09:002014-01-03T22:48:45.423+09:00An interesting article written by an Brit expat wh...An interesting article written by an Brit expat who hunts in Kyushu; http://fukuoka-now.com/2013/12/fukuoka-gun-hunting-guide/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-79150007094116762212014-01-03T06:46:46.822+09:002014-01-03T06:46:46.822+09:00I had no idea people hunted in Japan. Or that gun ...I had no idea people hunted in Japan. Or that gun ownership was permitted.<br /><br />That fact slightly alters my perception of Japan in a positive way.<br /><br />I wonder what they hunt for? I have a hard time picturing a Japanese deer or elk, or for that matter, do you even have rabbits over there? Probably so. Rabbits are likely a worldwide menace to gardens everywhere.<br /><br />Seeing as how pheasants come from China I can sort of picture pheasants in Japan, I just can't picture a field big enough to hunt them in.<br /><br />Also, your link was a very interesting viewpoint.<br /><br />I kind of felt a bit sad for liberty when I read about The Great Sword Hunt.<br />Some people imagine a 'Great Gun Hunt' happening in the unitedstate sometime in the future. I can't imagine that happening. If it did occur, I think the result would be utter chaos. ...Maybe that is what is happening now, only it's being done incrementally with the result being small spots of chaos? Or something like that.<br /><br />- RothbardianamericanHelotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
