Hawaii hunting???

[Birdbow]

When I lived on Oahu, I killed my first 2 boar hogs hunting the area along the Pali Highway which is bowhunting only. If you're able to hunt  there, it's an option. No help for me when I started there so I walked up several ridges and found some great wallows and rubs - that's where I had some success. Good luck and enjoy the islands!

Alright, you all have started me thinking.  My wife is wanting to go to "The Mouse" in August, but I want to go back to Hawaii.  I'm working my boys (6 and 8)  right now as to what they really want and without coaxing, they both want Hawaii again.  They both remember 1 1/2 years ago and really loved it.  Is there anything open at all in the month of August to hunt?  If so I honestly believe she could be swayed easily.

Steve H,
Hunted a bit with Rick and his dad, Clyde, and son, Ricky Boy. Very fond of the family. Please pass along Aloha when you next see them. Also, Rick has stepped up to a recurve!? Best regards, Todd

MV:  Yes and PM sent.

Todd:  It has been several years since I hunted the the B-dets.  Rick apparently goes both ways, lol.  he and his girlfriend Cathy got married about 2 years ago.  Do you know their "Howley" buddy Bigfoot Bob?

Steve,
  Sure do. Bob had an affinity for the old 190 gr. Ribteks which he would keep sharpening till they were about 150 grs.!!! Small world, the Beaudet's lineage goes back to ... New Hampshire. Didn't know about Rick's nuptials but I know he has at least 2 grands by now. Have fun in HI and I'm a little green with envy which will be alot green by late winter! Best, Todd

Very good info by Steve H. I've hunted with some of the same guys and hunted Kauai on that Kalalau valley trail.
I could maybe add a couple things;

 You are supposed to get a permit to hike that Kalalau trail though many don't. #1 rule, no shooting at those low flying choppers- there are many. And being on that trail during spring break will get you wishing you were in your twenties. A guy doesn't really need much warm gear back there most times of the year- heck, there were groups of college coeds back there with a small daypack. The mtn above is one of the rainiest places on earth [480" if I recall] so raingear is good.

 It doesn't get near that much rain down lower- probably only 280"...grin, Count on the trail being muddy. My buddy- conveniently?-  slipped hyper-extending his knee on a trip we did and I had to carry his and my loaded pack 7/8 of the way out- no treat.

[Steve H.]

been:  You just need a permit to camp on the trail, not to hike....unless it changed.

Just back from my first trip to Lanai and second trip to Maui.  The Axis were too slick but a pig paid the price!
