The pure mouflon were indeed shot out by the govt on Hawaii island when the private land they inhabited was converted to the Volcanoes Nat Park.. they did not want non native species in the park. Pity toi because the rams killed on the Big Iskand were the purest strain of mouflon found. Beautiful sheep. Eugene Yap of South Point Safaris used to guide for them.
After the Big Island herds got shot, hunter's focus turned to Lanai island. There you can still hunt damn near pure mouflon..it is just not the same terrain as Hawaii Island. Lanai is MUCH easier terrain! A ton of axis deer are found there too as well as on Maui island.
Lots to still hunt on the Big Island (Hawaii).. goats, axis, pigs, turkeys, pheasant, francolin, quail, etc..
If you are deadset on a mouflon ram, look to Lanai.. get in touch with Lanai's game dept. They'll have a list of guys you can book a hunt with.. just a heads up, most of these hunts are 1 day and rarely ever exceed 2 days. Fun though! Good luck!
