Hunting Perspectives: Japan

Rick Sacca is an American hunter living in Japan.  He has hunted in the US Northeast, the Carolinas, Hawaii, and worked in the hunting industry in the Bob Marshall Wilderness of NW Montana.  He has been fortunate enough to have earned hunting licenses and firearms permits as a foreign resident in Japan and had the opportunity to experience hunting Japan-Style.  Using his experience as a Montana hunter education instructor, and a Montana Master Hunter, he offers insight into the similarities and differences in hunting techniques, processes, and hunter ethics.
