I've been back at it..

is this from japan?? what the heck are you doing over their?

Took me a second to realize that was the same buck. Thought the bottom one was a spike at first.

What is the limit on them or is there one?

wow. great stag. what are those plants all around ya. Eric this is one of my longest post ever so you should be thankful that im writing something so long to you.lol

Oregon Eric, Nice job! :thumb How do they taste?

OEric,
We are all interested to hear how you are able to hunt them and shoot what sounds like a truckload of animals. What is the limit? How did you get a license? Is this public land or private? Are you in the military? What do you do with all the meat? I believe the typical Japanese person is not allowed to own any guns so you probably don't have much hunting competition.

Hey Cody, I always get a chuckle out of your posts. :)) You better be careful writing long ones like that, you'll end up with arthritis! hehe..

Yeah, I'm in Japan. I'm just trying to make a living like everyone else.

How do they taste?

I am very impressed with the venison here. I have ate a ton of it and love it. Meat is really expensive here, so it's a great way for me to pig out and not feel guilty about it. But honestly, I've done something that will even freak the hardcore guys on here out, I ate it raw. Not once, but twice! Yeah that's right, deer sashimi! A thin little slice of the backstrap, a little soy sauce and wasabi, and down the hatch. I had to do this to be 'one of the guys'. They love to pull that kind of crap on me. I had to have a couple drinks first, but I did it. It tasted alright, but honestly, I'm not too excited about doing it again as it gave me another hardcore case of the 'runs'. I'm afraid Brett's gonna banish me from the website now. He'll probably block my IP address.

I don't know of any way for non-residents to hunt here. It's really hard to get a license here. The number of hoops to jump through is ridiculous. There is a lot of public ground, but farmers are happy to get the pests shot off thier fields, so in most cases it's not even neccassary to ask for permission. I'm not in the military, just over here trying to bring some rice home. I eat a lot of the meat, but my hunting partner runs a reataurant and uses a lot of the meat there. We can bone out a deer in about 15 minutes. Typical Japanese are allowed to have guns, they just aren't stupid enough to hassle with all the BS involved in getting one. In some places there are a surprisingly high number of hunters, but most of those places are roads. The limits are crazy, a buck a day, limitless does, and a 2 1/2 month season.


Here's a pic from yesterday. I couldn't get a shot of, but no biggee, I got another 6 weeks. :)

I couldn't get a shot off

Huh? How about close your eyes and pull the trigger. :))

All kiddin aside, I've been believing your stories on how tough these buggers are. Now I see the real truth, drive up to an open field while they all stand there..."hey Wong, which one is the biggest?"

Okay thanks...plug your ears I'm going take him...and the one behind him to boot while I'm at it. :)) :))

Okay I couldn't resist!

And as for this...

Brett's gonna banish me from the website now. He'll probably block my IP address.

I'm glad you know what side of the line I'm on, were good. :) I only had to change one word.

lol ya Eric my wrist is starting to hurt.lol. eatin that meat raw. thats just nasty.lol

Just one word? That's pretty good for me! =D>I could have got a shot off, but I might have hit someone as this was an ambush and there were guys waiting in the woods who had came in from behind and were waiting for me to push them back in. These deer were pretty far off anyway, I zoomed the pic in a little.
But the best thing is that I can get into this type of stuff almost daily if I wanted to and if I had enough freezer space. It's fun to hunt these deer like I hunt them back home, not like they do here, which is a lot like hunting over east. But no matter what, I still miss hunting back home.

Oh yeah, there are no Wongs here in Japan, but there are lots of Tanakas and Yamamotos.

is there Dongs?lol

yes, but from what I can tell most of them are quite small. :))

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!

Wow that's great i didn't even think there was hunting in japan!
and with a liberal limit to boot!!!
that's a hunter's paradize!
what kind of deer is that? looks a bit like rusa!

i live next door to some tanakas!

so is it top secret you wont tell us what you're doin over there, besides looking at dongs....

hahaha!!!!!!! i got to stop reading these while im drinking hotchoclate.lol. ya its ok if ya like looking at dongs.lol.jkjkjkjk.haha

Hehe... You guys are quite a bunch of comedians. :)) But honestly, if I was a ''Dong'' enthusiast, I surely wouldn't be here! Although I have done no scouting, I would assume that trophy class quarry is far and few between. :thumb

I came over working as a seafood broker, but have mysteriously found myself teaching economics at a couple local universities. :-k
But when hunting season starts, it seems that I am not able to keep my head from wondering into the snowy jungle in search of these elusive sika deer. It seems where ever I travel, my innards seem not to notice. I guess hunting is in my blood and always will be.

hehe right on!
