I saw Fred Eichler do it a while ago, it looked like a blast he took the hole family on that trip. Him and his wife scored on some nice goats, I would be willing to bet that you can find that video somewhere on the web to watch?

I believe you may also be able to stalk a wily jungle cock while you’re at it:o

Molokai is the island Fred was hunting. Walter Naki is a bowhunter, shoots a Black widow, and also guides on the island. You can contact Walter at 808-552-0084. Molokai is special, very laid back, no commercialization, just a great place to visit,hunt and fish. Walter will also take you out on his boat. The back side of the island sees very little hunting pressure!

I was stationed in HI for 3 years and I can tell you that the best place to go is the Big Island if you want to use a guide or Molokai if you want to do it yourself. My recommendation would be to use a guide. The Parker Ranch on the Big Island has about 70,000 acres and a guy by the name of Jack Ku is a fantastic guide. At Parker Ranch you can hunt Pig, Goat, Sheep, or spring turkey. My wife and I hunted turkey and had a great time. Both of us got one. Hope this helps.

My dad lives over on the island of Maui. I have yet to go visit him, but if I do ever make it over there, I intend to go hunting, myself. He’s a diver, but I’m not big on swimming where there are fish that might eat me. I like dry land better than the thought of being bested by a cutthroat trout’s over-sized, over-toothed cousin.

As the only haole( white guy) you’ll ever meet that picked pineapples on Lanai( a miserable job!) as I took a hike in the rugged interior one day, coming around a cliff, there stood a pronghorn antelope! Could have knocked me over with a feather.
If you get bored with bowhunting you can always get a guide with dogs and go pig hunting- with a large bowie knife! Hear it’s quite exhilarating- if you survive unscathed or “untusked” as it were. As the Bard states, they will ” unzip you from your gaggle to your zatch”.
Have fun and good hunting-Aloha, Bert
P.S. You might want to take gander at Kingwouldbe’s excellent pics of his porkers- a BOWIE KNIFE? Are you CRAZY?! or just suicidal!!!!

If you go to the Professional Bowhunter Society web site
probowsociety.com now there is a great thread by Steve Hoensee about hunting Hawaii. He has much experience and gives great advice on such things as licenses, animals times to go etc.

Sorry–I want to correct a couple of things. The web site is
http://www.probowsociety.org

The author is Steve Hohensee.

I am not sure if you have to join to see the cyber campfire but I think it is free. If not, join the organization–if is a great organization.

The next time my wife and I go over to the islands, Molokai is one of my islands of interest, and yes my bow is going with me.

Eventually, my wife and I will relocate to Hawaii, but will more than likely settle on the Big Island around Ocean View aka South Point.
