Shotguns are incredibly effective for hunting deer, as long as you respect the range limitations. A scoped shotgun with modern slugs will ethically kill deer inside 200 yards. Buckshot is good out to 40 or 50.

I have only one problem with this...politics...possibly smuggling since gun smuggling in japan is huge in the Criminal underworld so

A used rifle in the US can go anywhere from $50 bucks to $10k. $500 for a used rifle is not that expensive.

In Sweden, we also have to take a written exam plus three separate practical shooting exams depending on what game you are going to hunt and what type of gun you're going to use. The exams can be done as soon as you're big enough to hold a gun (no age restriction) but you need to be 18 to apply for a firearm license with the police who background check you (but not your family) which can take anything from 3-12 months. Your gun and ammo needs to be in a safe that you can buy yourself. I think hunting laws is pretty much like this everywhere in Europe and the rest of the developed world so Japans laws isn't that strange if you aren't an american.

And then to show the younger generation you won’t be loosing a third or more of your net return to something that they wouldn’t have to deal with if they just stayed in the major cities and worked in retail or some other trade.

They are getting quite old however and that doesn't help the younger folks any. Bigger issue is that the local culture honestly has gotten so urban enough that the younger folks don't really want to have much to do with the countryside, even agriculture. Look at the average age of a farmer. It might not be helping, but the hunting issue is more a symptom than cause.

Excellent video, the unintended consequences aspect should be taught at every level of government all over the world.

I was first introduced to hunting culture in Japan through Yakuza 0, where you can send out arms agents to various locations and acquire weapons, schematics, and materials for said weapons, one location being a Japanese hunting village.

Maybe I am late, but I want to ask, how was the airgun culture in Japan? I know that they love to do airsoft skirmishes/survival games, but how about the air rifle ones? The one that can be used for target shooting/plinking and small game hunting.

I've actually been wondering about this very subject as of late, but I actually found myself wondering something else.

An actual historical yumi was tested a while back and 196lbs of draw weight with a 1 meter draw is going to put out a whole lot of ooomph. gunbai-militaryhistory.blogspot.com/2017/07/yumi-japanese-bow.html I can't imagine the amount of training you'd need to use the thing though. Also note the crazy arrow weights they had, article mentions 100g arrows but there are historical examples that hit 150g. That article says that war arrows were reaching out 100-200 meters and mentions a recorded 385.5 meter shot which seems pretty ridiculous, but even 60 yards on a deer sized target gets done by thousands of regular folk at the Oh-mato Taikai every year so it can't be terribly difficult to land hits at solid distances with one. Traditional bows have taken plenty of game throughout history and their yumi is probably one of the more suited for it since it's primarily designed for direct fire rather than for arc or volley fire.

Chad... You opened up the video holding a nice compound bow, but you didn't cover that as an option; is it either nets, traps, shotguns, or rifles? I would think bow hunting would be popular in Japan for 3 reasons: 1. Their ancient tradition of archery 2. Their propensity for taking on difficult things 3. The compact-ness of the country and bows only shooting 60-80 meters, vs. a rifle which is much further; and bonus: you don't even need to deal with the red-tape of owning a firearm ... which leads me to ather question: what if I'm in the "I'm only allowed to own a shotgun, not a rifle" category; what about shotgun slugs? I'm not gonna start hunting tomorrow or anything, but if I did, it would be with a bow, or a shotgun slug for 2 reasons. 1. Shooting a deer with a rifle is very easy. A bow is more of a challenge and more natural; and the shotgun slug has a shorter range as well, so it's also more of a challenge. With the shorter range of shotgun slugs and arrows, it would be more of a challenge, more rewarding; but also...it's safer for the surrounding community in case of a miss... bow-hunting seems like it would be a great fit for Japan...

Compound bows are not a valid method of take in Japan, sadly. I only hunt with a bow so I'd have to switch to something else if I wanted to harvest my own meat there. I imagine slug ammo is available, but again you're talking a shorter effective range of 50 meters or so. And shooting a deer with a rifle is easy COMPARED to the other methods, but just a reminder than it's not shooting fish in a barrel :P Takes a lot of time and experience even with a rifle to harvest consistently. I live in Colorado currently, and according to the DPW only 20% of rifle deer tags get punched each season. Meaning 80% don't get anything.

One shot to the vitals with a broadhead or clovis point and the same deer would be down in 15~20m.

Honesty, shotguns are very ethical to take deer with. As the other comments stated, slugs are what you would want to use. Which is a single bullet. Also, depending on the "shot gun" you use for slugs, you can shoot out to 100 yds easily. Now, granted these guns have rifling, so I don't know what the law on that would be. However, buck shot is still pretty effective if you can't use slugs.

What I think you’re having a difficult time grasping is that countries like the US and Canada that have large rural populations where hunting is popular are the anomaly and not the other way around. The overwhelming majority of Japanese people live in cities. They don’t own property in the country and don’t live anywhere near a large forest of any kind. Many of them don’t even own a car much less a truck. And because of the Japanese work culture they don’t have much time off work. So because of all of that there is very little interest in hunting in Japan. Therefore the amount hunting related videos being put out is more than enough for the very small portion of Japanese society that is actually interested. Calling a couple of plastic plumbing tubes taped to the handle of a toy gun is playing fast and loose with the term “gun”. If anything it was closer to being a mortar than a gun. But just to humor you let’s say that it is one. That’s still one gun related death for the entire year in a country of 126 million versus over 20,000 in the US during that same span of time (and that was actually a decline). Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of gun related assaults crimes that didn’t result in death that occur in America every year versus less than ten per annum in Japan.

It was a homemade firearm. No one questions that. Also you and most people fail to realize that one of the major issues with gun crimes in America is the cultures we have in America. Cultures that promote gangs, violence,drugs....etc. In my opinion Japan could have the gun laws we have in America, and have just as many firearms as us, and they wouldn't have any where near the amount of gun deaths/injuries/crimes. Their culture doesn't promote these bad values. In America several cultures do, which those cultures are the ones with the most amount of gun violence/deaths. You're like arguing with a brick wall, no one's saying Japan has alot of gun crimes. They clearly don't and it's because of their laws and their CULTURE. But to say there's no gun violence there is wrong, there is but yes it is very rare. I'm not saying Japan should change what they're currently doing, but if they don't it's going to have a major negative effects on their environment and their citizens.

If Japan does not allow lead bullets for fear of eagle poisoning, I highly doubt they would allow poisoning. But some laws make no sense sometimes.

Chad Zimmerman So I just read some law and found this "In Article 2, paragraph 8 of the Wildlife Protection and Management Act, hunting is defined as "to capture or hunt birds and animals by the statutory hunting law" (google translate) And in statutory hunting law there's a paragraph about prohibited hunting methods, but there's not a single word about hunting with a slingshot or a blowpipe (bows are certainly prohibited though), so it might not even qualify as hunting. But in the worst case scenario I think you should just have a hunting license if nothing else. Because it doesn't qualify as hunting, but might qualify as poaching and you should know what animals and where you're allowed to hunt, even with just a slingshot.

Do deer eat rice?

Interesting video. Thanks for looking into this. I knew it was onerous, but I'd wondered how onerous it really was. I knew a lot of this, but I had no idea that one had to own a shotgun for 10 years to qualify for a rifle. This is insane. Also, having lived here in Japan, I do have to say that they get a lot of things that the US (where I'm from) gets horribly wrong. But although the US really needs to have better, saner gun control, "No guns for anyone" is never a rational position to take. One thing that is really missing from your video, though, is that a lot of fancy restaurants here serve wild game, which was shot by some 60-year-old and sold. I'm a huge fan of inoshishi (wild boar) and venison from Hokkaido, and order it any chance I get. Perhaps a way forward would be to increase the market for those products and demonstrate that it's not just a hobby or protection of land, but an economic activity that especially older Japanese folks can engage in. Probably not, because the gun fear runs so deep here. But I, for one, would like to eat many more wild boars.

I actually have several hunting buds in Itoshima around where I am, and they also harvest boar for restaurants in Fukuoka! But they don't use guns at all, they actually trap and then use spears which I find way less fair chase than just using a shotgun or rifle. When I asked my friend who does this how most of the meat made it to market in Fukuoka he said it's almost all from trap and spear. So I think it would be a slightly uphill battle to convince a very gun shy ground that it's more ethical and warrants it's use over what they've been doing anyways, but It's a good idea to consider!

Are slugs and buck shot not legal if they are then hunting with that isn't perfect but some people only hunt via shotgun

Japans problems could be solved by cutting taxes to people who have more then 4 kids, relaxing gun control measures and making farmers pay less taxes compared to the urban population this would avoid the exodus to the cities and it would also increase population numbers

In South Carolina, they pay 75 bucks per coyote. I killed 4 this year already, they’ve killed tons of my chickens and have gotten into my parents goats and hang out around the house. They pay for water deer in Korea!

You can use a shotgun for hunting deer using slug but its a waste of meat and if there no predators as southern maine

What about a shotgun slug that kind of makes it a rifle

Welp no broomstick, then me use staby stick.

This makes me love America more.

Shotguns are great for deer hunting. I would always choose the 12g shot gun for up close in a stand. Your puting a large cutting area In the animal and killing it faster. A rifle is good but people in my area really just use them for bigger game like moose and bear but the shotgun can still take them down.

12 gauge shotguns are probably the best gun for every animal out there, they come I'm different shot sizes, everything from small game and birds to even the largest Grizzlies in the brush. A good old 12 gauge will get the job done and keep your freezer full for winter time

And you can’t hunt with traps and katanas?

Shotguns take slugs and it’s all you can legally use in certain counties in NY state not all but some you can only hunt with a shotgun, bow, or muzzle loader.

A 12 gauge slug although damaging more meat will easily drop a dear as quickly as a rifle depending on caliber. If your main concern is population control then meat conservation isn't a problem

You can kill a deer with a slug load Winchester makes deer slugs .. small hole meat on the table .

Great video but are slug guns not a thing over there it’s a shotgun that works like a rifle and is ethical out to 150-200 yards

The point that shocked me most is the ten years to wait to get a rifle after you got ten years a shotgun. To be honest 10 years of using a inadequate gun to hunt deer of boar Is way to long two or three years should be all right. You have to have hunters especially when you got a bear problem in Akita for example. I will actually look to eat for wild meat next time I am in Japan, just to support the hunters. I do have a problem with trophy hunters but I also have seen the problem with deers in some areas especially Nara is stupid ok it is cute but the situation is just out of control.

Couple things..... A 12 gauge shotgun is a very very capable deer hunting tool... More deer have probably been killed with an 870 than any rifle in the market....... And a shotgun will kill further and more consistently than a bow..... A double 00 12 gauge doesn't "blow a shallow hole and the deer runs away"?

Your statement on the effectiveness of shotguns on deer is incorrect. Shotgun slugs will frequently blow a hole through a deer if shot through the lungs. They are very effective on deer. What you are describing is the use of birdshot on deer, which is not only illegal, but unethical.

thats crazy shotguns work great on deer

You can take down deer with a shotgun, you just gotta use slugs instead of shot.

what about muzzle loading rifles and big bore air guns ? There is more than one way to skin a deer.

Bro shotguns take different ammo ! Dif spread for dif small game or slugs for deer and large game . Wtf japan

Well shit.... Japan needs to ease up a bit.

Wait why would the shotgun not work for deer? Shotguns are the most powerful guns you can buy lol

The hoops... they're everywhere... we some black college kids, with basketballs!

12 gauge shotguns with slugs can penetrate almost level 4 body armor. Even 20 gauge slugs will put any deer down fast and efficiently and a properly placed .410 slug will kill almost as well. The shotgun has killed more deer than any other caliber over history. I do not know how someone who says they hunt would ever say something as nuts as a shotgun cannot humanely kill deer. A 12 gauge slug will put a hole in a deer the size of a fist and pass straight through the deer everytime. You limit your range to around 100 yards but not lethality. a fully rifled barrel shotgun with sabots can extend that range quite a bit. If you are passing up hunting because you are only allowed a shotgun you are choosing not to hunt for a very stupid reason. A 12 gauge is 1000X more effective than a compound bow at killing deer. Bows work great but they do not hold a candle to a slug out of a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun. GET YOUR ASS IN THE WOODS!

I think nowadays slugs have an effective range up to 200 yards, I remember since I once got in an argument about owning and using 50 Beowulf when 12 gauge slugs are roughly the same. Bows are really up to the hunter themselves, people are crazy enough to hunt bear with bows.

Not sure if this is still going on but old video from 10 years ago japanese adults were hunting illigaly with bow&arrows made by old people who been tought to make then since samurai were around and sold then gave them awal to tight nit closed communitys where ppl could keep a secret but these days guy probably dead and fear of getting caught snitched on is high that japanese expression the nail that sticks out gets the hammer. I think pppl too afraid to even try because yeas its easier to go to 24/7 store or order food online play fortnight dont get hammered cause Japan is fucked up my opinion it's a tourist dream nothing to be an Otaku nerr out spend money hsve fun then go home.

I've seen and read about the topic and have to agree that trapping, compared to firearm hunting, is cruel and unethical. We've had this debate in UK and even with our rather convoluted and old certificate system and major anti-gun public, still came to the conclusion that it's better to use firearms for hunting and crop protection. If someone disagrees, I would genuinely ask them to watch Japanese hunters using sticks and literally stab and beat a trapped deer multiple times, simply because there was no firearm and argue it's still ethical and respectful to game to do that. Judging by the number of dislikes on the video, there still seems to illogical people out there out of touch with reality, still thinking they're eating some sort of Simpsons factory meat product.

While I get what your saying, guns are the best option for hunting there is no arguement about it. Theres a reason why humanity switched to using guns as its main hunting tool but trapping is really going to always be there, the trapping trade is as old as humanity itself and there are different types of traps designed for better and more effective results. Not every hunter sees them as cruel, lots of people particularly in the bush use traps for their next meal. I'm ok with traps so long as you know what your getting yourself into and understand that you are going to have to kill the animals as quick as possible if you are using a non lethal trap like a pit fall so you better find the best method. Be respectful to the animal that much.

​@@riclate2013 I would have to respect this. Trappers are not cruel, it can also be that certain game is more suited to trapping. But this video showcases the result of an absolutely terrible certificate system of Japan not understanding or coming to reality that people will hunt regardless and a 5000 dollars, a test and making hunters feel like criminals never works.

Would a Japanese hunter really need to purchase a gun? Because I remember an episode with Bear Grylls in the polar regions. He trapped the reindeer with rope next to a tree and struck a main blood vessel under the ear with his knife. I don't mean to be graphic, but it swiftly killed the reindeer, and without the use of a gun. I'm aware a polar reindeer and a Japanese deer are different species, but wouldn't it work around the costly hassle of getting a gun, ammunition, etc. Of course, another issue is the age of the farming population, and the potential dangers of disposing the incapacitated deer with a knife. Just throwing my few cents into the ring.

Depending what kind of poisons you use can be ok, like a natural made poison from plants would be relatively, ok ancient humans have been known to use tipped poison/tranquilizer weapons for thousands of years in hunting. Highly double if they would allow people making poison or even using poisons in general though. Traps are still there, and would be the most effective way without firearms however they are not a guarantee and some traps require you to finish the animal off.
