dust Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am an American living in Japan. Heading back to the states in April of next year. As a sociologist and noticer at heart, I like to see how different people do the same thing. I know that there isn't much in Japan, but I found ausvarmint after a talkcast last year, and found out about this from I think crowbusters. Just wanted to say hi, and see if I can be somewhat beneficial as a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dust Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) welcome to the forum! do you mean there isnt much shooting? Mental exam, yearly unannounced inspection, wildlife test, including animal names and mating. Only citizens, and you can't have a rifle until you have spent 10 years with a shotgun. It is probably viewed similar to the way others view whale "research" here. Sorry Woodcock, the Great White hunter is a phrase I have always heard, and being white would mean not Japanese, and not Japanese means no hunting. I have hunted pigeons in TX(home state) before, and see the varmint animals as something easier to hunt in the future than big game.

NickP Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'll ask my sister in law what her mother does for pest control on the mountain she owns Japan, but I guess with the samurai outfit in hallway at her home it will be a slice and dice with a sword :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dust Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I was just on youtube, and noticed that there were quite a few people from the UK popping pigeons and others with rimfires and airguns, so I thought should post a list of my bird guns. RWS 850 with LDC LIke the pic except without the HPA tank yet Savage MKII FV in 17HM2 with a BV stock waiting Savage MKII heavy barrel in benchrest style stock with 8-32 BSA. It's got a DIP 25 MOA base and a Millett LRS-1 scope waiting for it. I have to decide if I want to chop it down to 16.5" and thread it and get the NFA trust paperwork and a suppressor, or just leave it alone, and last, the big boomer Belgium Browning A5 in 12ga. Haven't even seen it yet. My grandfather found one on the highway in a gun case during hunting season long before I existed, and I loved it to death. When he died the guns were split up and my aunt who doesn't hunt got it. So my father bought me another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
