Hunting in Hawaii

[Ruger99]

Hey guys and gals I'm headed to Hawaii this feb for a little vacation with the family and inwas thinking while I'm there I should try and bow hunt a goat maybe black sheep or boar. has anyone hunted there ? Is there anyone that does affordable day rates? If I just bring my bow and buy a license can a local person take me out ? Or is hiring a guide the only way ? If so any suggestions ? I will be in Maui

Man, go for an Axis deer, everything I hear they are the best eating ever. Lots of info on meat eater podcast about a Hawaiian hunt

How do the final costs of this actually stack up? Like bringing the head/meat home etc. The hunts themselves look pretty affordable.

A lot revolves around specific logistics i.e. if you are getting it mounted there, euro vs shoulder, how many lbs of meat you're bringing back, coolers/totes, freezing/freezer space rental, airline fees for the oversized baggage etc.

If a guy had access to a house with a freezer, you could shoot it in the first couple days, euro the head, cut up and freeze/eat the meat for a week, and then bring what you want home. But a condo or apt, you get to pay someone for that.
