He tries setting up a box trap, and sets it up in just under a minute! Takahashi also invited Wada Manju to join the Ehime Prefecture Hunting Association. Wada responded with a wry smile, “It’s hard to judge based on this alone… but I’d be interested.” It’s worth keeping an eye on Wada Manju, who continues to keep a sense of humor while deepening his understanding of hunting. ◼️Comment from an Ehime Prefectural Government Nature Conservation Division Staff Member Even if you’re familiar with the term, what exactly does hunting refer to, what do you need to get started? We asked Wada to teach us some basic hunting knowledge. Hunting can seem complicated, requiring a license exam and obeying certain laws. However, this video clearly explains the process through the dialogue between Wada and instructor Takahashi. While the damage caused by wild birds and animals to ecosystems and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries is becoming more serious, there are concerns about a declining and aging hunting population, making securing new hunters a challenge. We hope this video will inspire younger generations to take an interest in the significance of hunting and wildlife issues. More than anything, it’s heartwarming to see Wada, embarrassed when instructor Takahashi discovers his hunting talent. ◼️Upcoming video release schedule (4 videos in total) Part 1 Learn “seriously”!
