Pierrot Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Huntings is an activity very popular with people from all walks of life both in Europe and the USA but unfortunately not in Thailand. Why ? In an other thread, I asked about clay shooting but didn't get any answer. It's also a popular activity in Europe and the USA. Are firearms only associated with police and criminals here ?

Are you serious? Pretty hard to take up hunting as a past time when anything that moves is immediately killed and eaten by the peasants! Bring an Isaan girl to Canada and you know what the first thing she will say when walking around nature? "Why hasnt anyone killed and eaten all these furry animals?!!

There are shooting ranges in BKK and Patters. Most of them seem to be target shooting. Cambodia seems to be the place to go if you like firing war weapons at chickens and larger animals. Prefer targets myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mentioned bow hunting to a few people, but it seems all the delicious animals were eaten by the locals a long time ago,, you can always take a go at monkey hunting......

h90 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 hunting is one of the most unpopular activities in most countries in Europe, as many people there are above "killing for fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierrot Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 What people don't seem to understand is that organized hunting help preserve wild life. And also if you never had joined a hunting party, you won't realized that shooting is only a small part of the fun. A great day out with friends, long walks in the wild, great lunch, great fun, that's what hunting is really about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ?In an other thread, I asked about clay shooting but didn't get any answer. It's also a popular activity in Europe and the USA. Are firearms only associated with police and criminals here ? Hunting is actually a favorite pastime in rural areas; go out in the fields in Isaan and people walk around with hunting rifles on their back. What they come back with is normally squirrels and field rats, sometimes monkeys. But I have seen similar in the mountains just behind Patong on Phuket: people walking around with hunting rifles on their back. But they looked as if they actually worked on the land; the 'forest' seen from the beach is actually to a large part Durian and other fruit plantations. I am not sure what can be hunted up there, but there are lots of wild pig tracks in some places. I am assuming however you talk about hunting for foreigners; as you sure know it is close to impossible to get a firearm license without Permanent Residency. And those licenses are not for carrying your weapon around in the open, as you would with a rifle (lots of threads on here if you search). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai authorities and forestry department etc are constantly battling with illegal hunters and poachers especially in National Parks. Only the other day on TV there was a report about armour plated looking ant eaters (I don't know their name,sorry) fetching 500b a Kilo in the Kingdom and 10 000b a Kilo in restaurants in Japan. As JTS-Korat mentions they're out there all right. Regards Bojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 My wife remembers when her dad could hunt. It is sad that the huntable critters are all but gone. I used to love to hunt as well, but in Canada we didn't kill all the wildlife so we don't have to pretend we are above hunting like the Europeans do.
