Jack,

I  think you can hunt pigs year round, but don't think that is on Oahu.  I would see Pearl Harbor and Punchbowl if I was going.

Steve O, Thanks for the info.  Pigs are really what i was thinking.  Just wondering if anybody knows of a place i can go.

If you don't have a Hawaii Letter of Exception for the hunters ed requirement, you can't buy a license. You have to have a Hawaii card or send them proof of your states hunters ed with a copy of ID. They send back the Letter of Excp. Took 2 weeks to get ours this Feb. Call the Forestry & Wildlife Div on Oahu to see if you can get it while your there.

Jack,

I have no idea about regulations, license process, or public hunting area limitations - but - I can tell you where we saw pigs when we visited last year.  My wife and I took a short 1/2 day hike along the Hau'ula Loop Trail on the windward side (maybe 40 miles from Honolulu) and saw 5 pigs.  We never left the trail but all of the pigs were seen across a valley or down through the brush.  There were signs indicating that this forest reserve was a public hunting area so this location may be a possibility?  We also saw pigs right on a trail in the Waimea Valley Audobon Center, but getting permission there might me a challenge.

Jack, Give Jerry (Islandlongbow) a shout....he's a regular pig killa' on Oahu and he'll even sing some Jimmy Buffet for you if you want...He may be able to give you some info on hunting while there. He's one of the best and his wife is the coolest chickie on the island      

BTW, (I still have not forgottten...please email me).
