The city of Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, has set up a "business school for hunting" that provides courses introducing people to the pursuit of game and encouraging them to consider it as a livelihood.
The city has been battling destruction of its agricultural crops by wild animals such as boar and deer. As more hunters age, it also is looking to attract newcomers.
According to the city, it is rare for a local government to offer courses specializing in hunting as a business opportunity, where professionals teach hunting and cooking game.
