Hunting in Hawaii
Are you a hunter? Isn’t it awful waiting for the season to start? Whether you hunt elk in Pennsylvania, bear in Arkansas or buck in Washington, you’re counting the days until your season opens this fall.
Hey, here in Hawaii, we hunt year-round – and the game isn’t too shabby. We have axis and black-tailed deer, mouflin sheep, feral goats and wild pigs; pheasant, quail and wild turkey. The best thing is that you can hunt year-round in Hawaii. There are some restrictions in some areas for some species, but on every island there’s something to go after, whenever you come.
You do have to have a license, just as you do in your state. It’ll cost you $95, and you can do that when you get here. It’s quick if you have your hunter’s education card with you and a picture ID. The state of Hawaii will give you an exemption, and with that you can get your license right away. You also can get your exemption by mail and then your license on-line. Pick a Hawaii-Aloha agent from the home page (Hawaii-aloha.com), or call 1-800-843-8771. We’ll talk you through the process. Happy hunting!

They ain’t broke, but they’re being fixed. The federal government has invested almost two million dollars in Big Island airport maintenance and repairs. The Hilo and Kona airports – already at number-one and number-three in the national on-time rankings – will be kept up to standard with grants totaling one-point-nine million for additional airfield surface work.
