My current problem

[@TheChadWork2001]

I do not know why, but you are very easy to listen to. I'm from Ohio where Busse Combat Knives are made. I like your slow, distinct, thoughtful method of speaking English. Very easy to pay attention to. I like learning about your lifestyle there. Thank you for sharing.

[@snaponjohn100]

I sure would like to have that problem. I love your videos, Wacko my friend. Be blessed. John

[@shockwavecity]

I really like those refrigerated drawers you have, never seen something like that in a house!

[@snaponjohn100]

Nice problem to have, Wako my friend. I agree that you need a big chest freezer that you can put in your garage. God bless you and your wonderful family. John

[@DarkGallahad]

Wako some relatives of mine where I am from Michigan where your BarkRiver knives come from had this same dilemma. The easiest way to combat it is to get a relatively inexpensive large standing square freezer and put it in your garage. It can hold as much as 6-8 of those small drawer freezers you have.

[@virtuovice]

I just ordered a large chest freezer from Electrolux to my garage. It is expected to reach here within a week when I come back from the next hunt. It seems like accomodating 30 deer and will solve my current problem the most easily. Thanks.

virtuovice the company headquarter is located near my house ****

[@patrickj.mclaughlin291]

"AAAARGH"!!!! You must get another stag and test out your reprofiled gunny. The one where you had to take the shoulder off to make shallower angle. I am very interested in this experiment. I am considering doing it to my gunny also. Anyways, I agree with other comments. I am sure there are many hungry people out there that would greatly appreciate some food for themselves and for their families. It would be a GREAT service!!!! Love your videos!!!

[@virtuovice]

All of my DLT Two Sided Paddle Strop have rough side leather on the both sides. I don't like smooth side leather since it makes slippery and no efficient surface soon. It is nice for light touchup though. For agressive stropping like micro roll restoration, rough side leather is seriously needed. Thanks.

[@virtuovice]

I am thining of it. My fridge capacity is too small to supply us venison whole the year. So I will need it. Thanks.

[@allieharbert810]

You need to can some of your meat it will keep on the shelf for a long time. It is very good to keep some this way.Love all of your videos.I enjoyed your friends collection very nice.

[@BushidoDevilDog]

Thanks for the clarification..! You are correct...most Japanese haven't had venison, but if someone is motivated enough to search for it, they can find some restaurants that specialize in such 'out of the ordinary' meats. If you can at all manage it, I highly recommend making the trip over, I'd be more than glad to recommend some places to visit..!

[@monicajones8450]

You crack me up. A lot of dudes here in America would love to have that problem. You can always share some with your friends. I am sure they would love the meat like you do. Happy Hunting.

[@rexscott8724]

All I can say Sir is that I love your channel, I have learned a great deal about sharpening and I am trying to emulate your art.

[@Surtac100]

I have learned so much from your videos thanks wako!

[@normrubio]

I have to agree, jerky is the way to go. You can do different flavors and take it with you on hunts as a snack. Very delicious.

[@nakedeagle3828]

I normally give all my venison away to the elderlies or low income households, most people have never tried venison.

[@btflday777]

Wako-san, I read lots of good suggestions in the comments below, so hope you'll keep on hunting deer and making awesome videos and testing many knives. Have you ever tried venison sausage? There are many recipes available, but I was thinking of smoked sausage variety, which is naturally preserved and doesn't require refrigeration. Good luck with your next hunt!

[@kan-zee]

Love when you speak your language with translations, for your nonspeaking japanese viewers. Interesting problem. Suggestions: Get a Dehydrator & Dehydrate Mtn Edible Plants, Smoke (Jerky) or Pressure Can your Meat (Mason Jars). Cheers ;-)) Another successful Vid.

[@eightgeorge]

If you have too much meat, you could try canning the meat by preserving it with a pressure cooker. That way you will not need a freezer and you can keep the meat on the shelve. Canning jars are pretty cheap and you can preserve vegetables as well. Looks to me you are becoming a prepper, if anything happens you will have a lot of food. The 3V looks better after you re profiled it, maybe bark river can learn from you. Cheers take care

[@andeanphoto]

Becoming a very successful hunter is a problem sometimes. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing, Domo arigato!

[@DavidLowry1]

It's wonderful to see that you eat so much of what you shoot! Great channel. You are very relaxing to watch.

[@paolowolverine]

Charity will be a great choice. Maybe send it to some area where people still suffer from the earthquake and tsunami.

[@virtuovice]

The government is extremelly warm to poor people. They eat much with the money we paid as taxes. So we don't have private homeless shelters here at all. Fortunately after watching this video one Japanese guy gave me a personal message that he needed my venison. This season I added 2 venison consumers because of KZbin. They help me a lot. Thank you!

[@TxC47]

the way i understand it are there too many deer in that part of japan. and not enough predators to regulate their numbers. what difference does it make if the meat from culling them is actually eaten by the hunter or left for other animals to feed off. nothing ever gets wasted in nature. eaten by man or animal makes no difference in the end. especially not to the dead deer.

[@haff202]

I would like to get a shotgun update on what you are using? Plus ammo? Also, what rifles have you been looking at? Your Tens years probation is coming up soon? You could maybe get a free rifle with a sponsor. Send out some emails to American rifle companys and chat with them.

[@Will-Xaru]

I hope you find a solution. I am a fan of your videos and for christmas I think I will buy one of the knives you use or one of the Japanese knives you showed in your previous video. You put a lot of thought into your choice of knife which is excellent. I wish you the best of luck, from London.

[@StaceySchroederCanada]

I say yes to the homeless idea for sure. Just keep what you will need. I bought a cow once and it took a year to come close but not even finish it all.

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Amen to making jerky. Buy a dehydrator which are affordable and energy efficient and dry your own meat relatively quickly. The meat will shrink many times smaller, and will keep a very long time without need for refrigeration especially if vacuum sealed in bags. They make great omiyage gifts for friends too.

[@virtuovice]

Thank you. Winter will come soon and then I will need to walk long on snow from my car. Then I will need to take the limited cuts, rib cages, back straps, inner thighs, and neck. Neck and rib cages are my newly known tasty portions. Those are heavy enough to carry back in my rucksack. The remains are for crows and foxes. It goes with the natural circulation as you say.

[@redteg1]

Do you prefer your stainless or non-stainless knives for hunting use?

[@OTBBushCraft]

DR. Wako do you buy your strops with both sides rough or do you get them with one side smooth and rough? The ones I get are smooth on one and rough on the other! Do you use the smooth side? Should I rough up the smooth side?

[@budaflash]

Hi have you considered purchasing the Bark Rivert Wilderness Explorer? Was wondering your thoughts on it and if you have had a chance to test Cru-Wear steel. Hope all is well.

[@EarlLedden]

And worse, I eat the older meat first, so I'm always at least year behind.

[@Eurotrash4367]

I wish I had this problem,

[@Meattrapper]

You should purchase a good dehydrator, such as an Excalibur dehydrator and start making venison jerky. By drying the meat, you can make it any flavor you like and you can store it at room temperature. It is very healthy and makes a great snack. You can also add it to soup or stew to rehydrate.

[@SugarcreekForge]

Hi Wako - I think it is time for you to have a big party. Invite a lot of people, and feed them some good venison! Your current problem is a good problem to have.

[@cre8tivesolutions]

Make jerky out of the next stag you get or use some of your current stock this will reduce your freezer supply allowing for more stag to be harvested, Problem solved! You will be able to enjoy some of the dehydrated stag on your hunt to keep your eye on the prize so to speak.

[@bearkify]

Yes sir, make jerky!

[@cruzchavez1974]

Wako sometimes here where i live hunters will donate some of the meat from deer of elk to a cruch whom use that meat to feed people that do not have the means to buy food . or a homeless shelter that will feed people that have no place to live or food to eat . I dont know how or if this problem is addressed in Japan maybe there the government takes care of those people but maybe this would be a option for you and all the meat you have .it will help you and help those that need something to eat

[@virtuovice]

Your understanding is very correct. We are basically fish eaters. So very few people accept my venison. We are restricted to sell the huted meat to restaurants or stores by the food sanitary law. However few hunters do it and make their living with it after getting a food sanitary license. They always need to shoot a small deer on its head and gut it and carry it to the city very soon. I have my own job for money and I don't need to do it. I like to shoot a big stag on its chest. Thanks.

[@honeybeesinjapan]

YES! Deer jerky.. Teriyaki deer jerky.. That's the answer!

[@KhawMengLee]

Heh, my buddy has the same problem with wild boar meat...they are a pest on the plantations here in Malaysia and my buddy actually pays a bounty for hunters to come and shoot them. He has a large standing freezer full of boar meat...its like magic, you take some meat out and when you come back its still full! LoL, I still have two boar legs in my freezer from him hahaha

[@PeterDuffy3101]

Smoke some of the meat and you can keep out of freezer, have a big party and share with friends and have a good time.

[@NZSikahunter]

Wako, considering that the Sika deer are a pest on your Island and that a balance needs to be restored between the deer population and the environment, I wouldn't be too concerned about leaving some of the meat behind. I would only take the most prime cuts off each animal. The meat that is left behind re-cycles as nature intends, and feeds the crows :) It is probably more important that the population is controlled than you taking all the meat.

[@frankeschholz499]

A good, skillful hunter can easily run into this problem. Since meat is not the one and only food someone should eat to stay healthy it can really happen to have more meat than necessary. Very informative videos on your channel. Thank you for sharing!

[@MakinHicks]

I run into this with fish and garden vegetables. Love the channel sir.

[@cigarcaptain]

Cool reefers, and your wife sure can cook!

[@randallkelley3599]

I am wondering, how many knives do you have? I collect Victorinox alox cadets/pioneers, but fixed blades I only have maybe 10 total. Every year I get two Glock field knives for free, and usually give them away to friends. Anyway, just wondering, maybe you could set them all out for us to see, one day....? Thx

[@GohanSama]

Try some restaurant. Ask them if they would be interested in buying off your excess venison.Ask your friends if they want venison. Or you can always try finding some service where you can donate food.

[@jjdubuyou1976]

Make venison jerky--healthy, delicious, and keeps for a long time!

[@blackieblack1847]

try version on hot plate with soya sauce. very nice. its a pity you live on other side of asia. would like to cook some for you.

[@MrBirdy001]

the problem is caused by falling in love with "micro" freezer designs ... you need a bigger storage solution for frozen food, and this means you need to "spend" money ! Perhaps you need a "walk in" freezer like they have in a butchers shop / restaurant in a Town / City ... or one from a lorry that delivers frozen food to shops. Do you have enough space at your home ?

[@thiagocorrealobo]

I love your chanel Mr. Virtuovice I love knives too, but a good knife like those ones is almost impossible to buy in my country, so, if you one day got a knife that you won't need anymore, I would be very thankful to recive it from you. keep up with the chanel!

[@Tremulousnut]

Most companies will ship overseas, you know right?

[@aHigherPower]

Where do you get your shirts from Mr. Virtuovice?

[@virtuovice]

+aHigher Power From some internet military surplus shops in Japan.

[@aHigherPower]

+virtuovice You better get to eating more deer Mr. Virtuvice. lol That is a problem I wish I had. :)

[@Tanrichguy]

I was wondering...Could you not donate the venison meat to a food-bank for those less fortunate? Do you have such places in Hokkaido? That way you could hunt and help people at the same time.

[@edxamador]

throw a bbq party and consume part of the meat then you make friends and free up some space in the fridge

[@Steph-ee9fk]

hello virtuovice i am a french hunter . i really like your videos. i would want the best knife for hunting. which model of bark river please?? fox river is very good for hunting??? which is your opinion ? which is the best steel for hunting cpm 3v or elmax ??? thank you for your answer.

[@virtuovice]

Hello, Fox River seems like the best hunting knife in the world. Elmax and 3V seem almost even for hunting. LT is easy to make the keenest edge on by water stone sharpening, but its handle comes thin in general. Thanks.

[@markmuhle7773]

Was wondering if you had any thoughts on S35VN from Bark River.

[@virtuovice]

It is less chippy than S30V. Bark River is shifting on stainless steels from S35VN to Elmax for edge holding and CPM-154 for toughness.

[@markmuhle7773]

Thank you very much. Do you have any exsperiance with Bark River cpm154 as far as edge holding for skinning. What the edge does with bone contact. I hear Bark Rivers heat treat on it is very good.

[@virtuovice]

Regular 154CM holds like A2 does. So CPM-154 should be harder and hold longer.

[@markmuhle7773]

Thanks once again for your info and being so comparative to other steels

[@giskiepictures]

If your problem is that you're a lucky man. Keep hunting. I've learned a lot from you. (Share your abundance.)

[@giskiepictures]

Huhu I believe that. I did not want to be rude at all. I'm sorry that this maybe seemed so. You have a nice channel :)

[@hedonit]

if I lived neat you, you would not have a problem it would be barbeque party season all year long lots of guests and drinks it is always bbq season for me but i have to buy the beef luckily my friends bring the beer when i host a bbq every few month good food, good drinks, good company, life as it should be cheers

[@quint150]

Your wife does a great job with the camera. you should take her on a hunt. And your daughter too. then film their reactions. Would make an interesting video. Just a thought.

[@kaizoebara]

As I understand it, venison isn't very popular in Japan, right? I don't know why, because in many parts of Japan there are too many deer and they're tasty.

[@BushidoDevilDog]

Methinks your image of modern Japan's eating habits are a bit out of date... Regular Japanese eat meat probably only slightly less often than a typical US/European diet. We have McDonald's and KFC all over the country here, and also have Wendy's, Burger King, Domino's, Pizza Hut, TGIFriday's, and Outback Steakhouse in selected locations, well as many places specializing in Kobe beef. As docomogaijin said, there are a surprising number of homeless here as well, I see them pretty much everyday.

[@cruzchavez1974]

NZSikahunter Wako used to do just that and take only the back straps and such but as always there are stupid people in the world that were given him a hard time about leaving meat behind there always has to be people that dont mind there own buisness, i wish people would just keep there stupid opion to them slef and I agree with you 100% he should go back to keeping only the prime cuts of meat there are to many deer there and not enough hunters this is why he has a 6 month season . thanks Cruz

[@mu99ins]

If there is an animal trainer, animal refuge or veterinarian in your town, they would be happy to receive meat. They have some hungry mouths to feed.

[@honeybeesinjapan]

Wako san I just went to America, North Georgia. This is my home town. My brother and I killed 3 white tail deer. I was so excited because I wanted to bring some deer jerky back to Japan for souvenirs but found out they would not let me bring meat products through customs. I was very sad. I will have to pretend to eat some venison with you in your video. Thanks for sharing this.

[@themoodybobby1]

That's a great problem to have

[@heettreet]

i have a gun club near me that does a wild game supper , they take donations from all hunters ,, you may have similar in japan

[@poliander]

Carpet on the wall? This man is a Slav !!! :)

[@TRADERnel]

get a bigger family...no problem...thanks

[@misterdeiviz]

Why not give the meat to the people who really need it, to a homeless asociation/centre etc...? Maybe you can sell it at a butcher store? I´m sure there are many people out there that would apreciate the meat very much, but can´t afford to pay it or don´t hunt, give the meat to them... If not, you could make jerky with it.....;)

[@edxamador]

ok take note of my address so you can send some venison and help you with your problem...LOL, cheers Wako that is your price, enjoy, really envy all that meat, yummm

[@thechildofthedamned]

considered shooting less deers?

[@virtuovice]

I've reached the conclusion as you suggest. Thanks.

[@Woozeesh]

[@virtuovice]

Woozeesh I have the largest freezer available for home use in Japan now. So now I have lots of stock venison to eat for a year around. Thanks.

[@wufwufwufwuf]

bloody hell am hungry

[@bashfulbrother]

In the future, cut off all of the fat on the animal. Most animals don't have an edible fat like the domesticated cow. You must cut up a deer in to very small pieces. I like steaks and chops. I take the meat trimmings into a butcher shop and have it turned into sausage sticks.

give the meat to your kids and grandkids. Have a BBQ with your friends and neighbors. Eat more you look too skinny. Just a few suggestions. I eat all my venison and birds, but give most of my wild hog meat away.

[@simezra]

you need to eat more that you have more room :)
