Kauai, Hawaii...BOOKED

[Steve H.]

Tajue17?  WT-heck?  What were you before, "Oldschool"?  This is REALLY wired but I was just wondering just YESTERDAY what happened to you!  BTW, you only PROMISED to send me a CD, just like archery gotta follow-thru!  Good to see you are still around.

BTW, MV, Kauai?  Why would you wanna go THERE?! ; ^ )

The one picture of you overlooking the scenery on the PBS site was the final straw Steve.  I can remember some awesome sites over there, but only from a distance.  It never crossed my mind to hunt there, only fish.  Seeing that picture told me  I too can do that, so I told my wife it would be foolish to spend a bunch more money for me to island hop from Maui and rent a car.  So we decided to spend the whole trip on Kauai.  She really didn't care, it was more me convincing myself it was the best thing to do, so to that I can say thank you for the motivational threads you have posted.

Mike,

  Ascent pants will be perfect for Hawaii, but wouldn't you be more comfortable in your loin cloth and a pair of these?

   

[Mike Vines]

Loin cloth??? I was planning on going  "Natural".  Those things would kill my feet.  My physical therapist wore those, and all I could do was think how funny he looked wearing them.

Mike make sure you have proof of completing a Hunter Safety Course. Without it you will not get a License. I took the course back in the 60's and no longer have proof.  All the states here grandfather license purchase since I have an active license. Good Luck

It's a little place in South East Michigan that is still producing a fine product...Douglas Fir wood arrows.  For a display of the finest ones to come out the door, you will need to head to the PBS banquet in March 2012.  I promise you that there will be something you never imagined possible/feasible in an arrow build, plus another set with what I consider the best looking arrows I have ever produced.  Those will be my donation to the 3 arrow contest.

There have only been 2 guys besides myself who have seen them, and as of this morning, they are all boxed up an placed in the vault awaiting the drop off with the post office.  I know, huge mistake leaving them to the care of the US Post office, but it would be tough to drive them out there and get back in a weekend.

"For a display of the finest ones to come out the door, you will need to head to the PBS banquet in March 2012."

I'll be there!

[Mike Vines]

Well, your gonna have to wait till then, and no drilling Steve O.  I had security hold onto his camera until he left the property and at his age, the memory isn't all there, so I feel safe knowing it is a good guarded secret.

Mike:
You sure married well...I have been to the Islands a few times but never granted even a day to hunt while there. I have hiked the Denali Coast and seen the goats…it is one beautiful place to be and can only imagine hunt too.  Given the loooooong flight, two weeks or more is the way to go.  I am sure you’ll have fun and score!

You got it DHR...I've been enjoying the occasional article from you in TBM. Nicely written, well thought and nice photos too. Keep up the good work.

I spent a lotta time on Kauai surfing a break we called pops.
Never dawn'd on me at the time there were critters up high to hunt. Was stationed in Owahu in the Coast Guard. 69-71. Spent a lot of time on the north shore,prolly second best waves in the world,almost drowned twice but hey I was 19yrs old and having the time of my life,so I thought. Have fun and good huntin!    
Heres a sad thought,I turned down duty on an ice breaker in Alaska,What was I thinkin! More about bikinis than bow huntin thats forsure! sure!

Ha Ha, you know what you have a good memory I was supposed to send you one,,, thats right I was oldtyme, everytime I move I have to come up with new handle.. toured a bunch of states then the band broke up.. BUT got a call from my old drummer from the dropkick murhpys and we are putting it back together next week, or we'll try and at 41yrs old not sure if I'm ready for that stage again.. I'll be sure to send you a CD this time I promise PM me your address ,,, really tried to hunt in Hawaii but had to settle for Bonefish with a flyrod which was just as fun,, I wasn't coming here much and never knew you had good info for Hawaii.

Here's a pretty extensive write up on hunting the Hawaiian Islands for "howleys".

Ted, you still have extra copies of the OLD cd?
