Winter hunting in Hawaii
« on: January 23, 2009, 12:46:00 AM »
Talked to my buddy Scott Nicholson via email the other day said it was something like -45 degrees  :scared:   so I thought I'd post this picture of him hunting with me in Hawaii last year...
 

Ready to come visit yet Scott?

I'm going to Hawaii in July. Is there any hunting that time of year?  Will be on Kawi and Oahu.

I remember that thread. We're having a heat wave today, going to hit 33. Back to a high of 10 for the next 4 days though.

I miss the islands SO MUCH  :(  

I'll have to get out there for a hunt some day. I'm really interested in chasing down wild cows in Maui...

Going to be 77 today where I am, but then a nasty cold front is going to come in and Saturday's high will only be 58.   :(   I dislike Winter.    ;)  

My wife got back from her vacation in Hawaii this past Monday and she said it was about 84 there.

Howzit All,

I'm not sure but it looks like Scott is hunting on a macadamia nut farm. Dem piggies love mac nuts! Eat um like candy.  Dem nuts are pretty hard to crack open even with a hammer but the piggies have no problem cracking them open. They can do serious damage to a farmers bottom line over the course of the mac nut harvest season.

 A favorite way to hunt them is to sit in a field and listen for that distinctive crack.

Aloha,

       Mark
