|
|
It's my BF's bday next week and he loves hunting and fishing. I bought him an X Force hunting bow for his bday and would like to know if there are any places in Korea where he could try out his hunting bow! Also, any ideas of where I could take him on a deep sea fishing trip? I am in Seoul and he is in Daegu. Any constructive info is much appreciated! |

I don't have an answer to your question but I do have a question for you.
Where'd you get the hunting bow and how much did it cost?
Thanks. |

I just got back from a short holiday in Taean (sp?) where they were offering a full day of deep sea fishing for 70,000 won a person. I don't know how far out they consider "deep sea" here, but that's what the sign said. Hope that helps. |

In Busan I charted a small boat for 200,000. We went about a km out and hit various locations along the way. It lasted about four hours. Caught a lot of small fish. Not exactly big game but it was fun. Got a lot of casts and a little action. Go to any fishing shop around the fishing port (where the crab hawkers are) and ask. You will rent your poles, buy your bait and day license there. Don't forget ice, beverages, snacks and a cooler. After you finish, a couple hours at the sauna will get you clean. Usually within walking distance. You can also get your fish cleaned for a few buck. Buy a cheap grill and head for a sunset dinner on the beach. This can be done on the spur of the moment. Start before 10AM. Of course bring sunscreen. |

"Hunting"???
Sorry Miss- the tiny remnant of persecuted wildlife in this hyperdeveloped country is not for hunting. There are laws against it here. If you get seen out with either a gun or a deadly crossbow, you will get picked up by the police quicksmart. At very least, pasers by will take note of your vehicle number and call the police. I've nothing against hunting per se, but do it in a country that has properly managed its wildlife stocks to allow for it.
Plenty of fishing opportunities in korea though. In fact everywhere you go in whats left of the Korean countryside, you'll be crowded out by fishermen.Sometimes a 100 huddled around a single puddle.
Best bet if you want some solitude is to hire a fishing boat to go out for a day from one of the small villages along the East coast. (which I have done). Not cheap, mind. maybe 200.000 for 3 hours. |

Actually, there is legal hunting in Korea, but it is not widespread. The irony is, in Korea guns are highly restricted, but bows (except crossbows) are not; yet, there is really only gun hunting. The region where hunting is allowed changes each year.
Here is a website (in Korean) regarding hunting in Korea: http://www.hunting.or.kr/ |

great. So take advantage of a loophole in the law to go out and kill stuff, for your quick selfish thrill.
As if animals or birds in this country were not persecuted enough!
Unless you know exactly what it is you're hunting, its status and how to identify it, please- just use trees or something as a target. If the natural heritage here was being properly protected and managed (as in the US), then I'd have no problem. But it isn't. |

Wild pigs are actually becoming quite a problem in places. A couple of years ago a pig got into a bar full of people (sounds like a bad joke).
Being allowed to hunt in certain areas at certain times is not a loop hole, that is hunting management.
As a side note I would not hold the US up as an example of protecting the environment. Sure they are better than korea, but they have a long way to go before you can say that it is properly managed. |

People are becoming quite a problem in places. Notably to the natural environment. The problem is that human/ urban settlement has spread everywhere, including into areas that have been the domain of wild animals since the dawn of time. There are no bears, wolves, tigers, leopards, dugongs, or much of anything left in this country. Who's the problem exactly?

I've met some of the Koreans involved. They basically want to hunt everywhere- even though this country still has not a single protected wildlife reserve and something like 80-90% of Koreas flora and fauna has been concreted over or otherwise destroyed in the past 60 years.
Sure, shoot a couple of pheasants or magpies on your local mountain if you must. They are abundant.

I said the loophole was that their are no laws against crossbows while there are for guns.
Some idiot toting a brand new crossbow , walking into a wetland and disturbing large flocks of migratory birds that have just flown thousands of miles and are globally endangered clearly deserves jail time. Many species desert the site after such persecution and oftentimes there is nowhere else for them to go: most wild habitats here have already been claimed for development. Like many things, Korea does not have basic laws to protect their natural heritage like most countries do. |

You should talk a walk, or a crawl as it were, through the DMZ. The difference in biodiversity in and out of there is amazing. THe northeast part of the country is also much richer in wold creatures than the rest of the country. |
