Thanks for your response. Much appreciated.
We'll both have tags. There won't be any legality questions even in theory. We'll share a rifle. The way I read the regs we can't be hunting at the same time. I really hope I'm wrong. It feels wrong.
Good to know the scouting can be done Mon-Tue...
A few questions regarding the rifle state hunt.
Per regulations, youth hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult (18 years of age or older) who also
possesses a valid 2021-22 or 2022-23 State of Hawaiʻi hunting license. Does it mean that if I take my son and I see a deer at a distance...
Can anyone recommend the pants for rifle or late season hunts? I really liked Kuiu Attack pants, but have sizing issues. I have found REI Activator pants: https://www.rei.com/product/177547/rei-co-op-activator-30-pants-mens-34-inseam?sku=1775470002
Anyone has any opinions on those?
I'm having issues with pant sizing in Kuiu and Firstlite. I was looking at SG de havilland pant. They have adjustable waist, so they may actually fit well. But the pricing is killing me. Without any discounts I am having a hard time justifying the purchase.
Have two pairs of old design and love them. Ordered the new ones and they are way different. Too thin and sizing is definitely different. Now they are slimmer fit. Returned.
That's good to know. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, you never have to scout. Go hunt right away.
I live in WA. Only black bear hunting is good for my skills level. For good deer or elk hunting I'd have to go out of state anyway. I'd rather be hunting every week and occasionally travel to mainland...
Amazing buck! Congrats!
Wow, even 200 yards may not be enough... Definitely wanted to be under that distance for my son.
I seriously envy that you live over there. Most likely you have animals to hunt year round. Now I never head to Hawaii for a vacation without my rifle. Hopefully some day I...
Thanks for your response! As far as I know Axis deer are notorious for jumping the string. I hope your trip was successful. I will be hunting with a rifle. From Youtube it seems that it is very doable to get to the deer for a 150-200 yards shot. Would you agree?
Did you see a lot of hunters or...
Now, to the hunting part. Having harvested Mouflon sheep before, I'm mostly focused on the Axis deer. As far as I know you can only find them on private on Maui and Big Island. Some day I will go to Molokai to hunt them on public land. Mouflon on Lanai are closer to the ocean while the deer are...
Hey everyone! This is an amazing thread and the reason for me to register on this website. This resource is great. Used it many times but never provided my input. I will trying to fix it from now on.
I am going to Lanai for State hunt in September. I confirm that logistics on the island is an...
