Hawaii?

[eVerbrowns]

Has anyone here ever hunted anything in Hawaii? Have a family vacation (Kauai) planned next summer and I'm trying to decide if it would be worth taking a bow or not. Looked at wild pig/goats and black tail deer. Sounds like you have to draw an Axis deer tag. Any info is appreciated

I made a "pig sticker" custom knife for a hunter in Hawaii that hunted feral pigs on the big island every year. He was a bow hunter and wanted a knife with a long enough blade to stick the pig into the vitals to finish the kill if it was necessary for a humane reason.

That is all the information I can offer you.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-19-19 AT 09:01PM (MST)[p]I'd try to go out big game fishing as well if you can. Lots of opportunity in Hawaii. I saw wild turkeys on Oahu, not sure if those are around on Kaui. More importantly, can you hunt the roosters?

Bring a bag of corn, a couple gallons of peanut oil, and some ground crackers. That island is overrun with wild chickens! ?

My Advice: Take a break from hunting and have a good vacation, spending time with your family. Spend money and time somewhere else for hunting.

I've hunted Lanai a couple times but never Kauai.

The helicopter tour of the island is an absolute must! It's one of the most diverse places you'll ever visit!

Kalalau trail is a must!

I've hunted Big island a bunch. Lots of public and year round. Heard good things about Kauai. Guides like everything else in the islands will be expensive. DIY works great on BI.Id get some regs, probably a few yrs old, call the office on the island, ask a few questions. Take your bow, rent a jeep, buy a 150$ license and get up early and hunt. Prob pigs and Billy goats. Sheep, deer prob on draw. Be back at the condo by noon for a drink and swim. Lots of game birds too in season.. ALOHA! Bh1

I lived there for a couple of years...Honolulu...bigger City but when you get out in the country the locals are super territorial and a Howlie (sp? white guy from mainland) won't be too welcome in my view stomping through "their" land The Aloha welcome is bull ##### except for the resorts and such my two cents

What he said x10....Especially on Kauai. Hawaiians aren't in love with mainlanders coming to their islands. They will spot you from a mile away. I lived there for 4 years, aloha is dead as far I'm concerned. If you're dead set on hunting the islands I'd hire a guide, do your homework and or make a Hawaiian connection to get you on some land that holds animals. The last thing you wanna do is find yourself lost on a piece of land and run into a few island boys. You'll learn the definition of "gettin cracks" real quick.

Better yet book the vacation with your family and spend it with them.
