I saw your post about that in one of the Hawaii hunting threads, I remember you said it was behind a convent. I’ll have a couple years there to figure things out, but your info is useful — now I can look for convents and where they are nearby to any public hunting lands!
Seems like that spot was on the SW side of the island.
Have a Coast Guard buddy in Maui. Had a lot of success pig hunting with archery around the islands. Good luck!
Hey man, thanks for reaching out. We get there in July. I’ll shoot you a message.
Scott, I'm on a similar path - not sure how to send a PM but hit me up if you can!
I'm heading down in February 2024, wife's brother lives in Honolulu and I've been scoping out the waianae kai reserve in the northwest part of the island. I already submitted my hunter safety exemption for my home state and so now all that's left is tags and licenses which I'll get once we land. I've been doing alot of reading and watching diy YouTube videos of guys that have done this on Oahu. From the sounds of it other islands are way better but GMU C is where Im headed in February with my bow.
Have you had any luck hunting since then? I'm coming down in February 2024.
I haven't been up to that unit yet, but I mean to at some point. I think you'll have fun, just make sure you're hitting the stairclimber or getting out in the mountains before then. It's easy to underestimate the terrain here, probably because it's generally not very high elevation. But a thousand foot climb in the first half mile from your truck is no joke. Goats aren't too hard to find here, you just have to be willing to hike up into the goat country. Pigs are tough for anyone not running dogs.
