Yes, there really is something for everyone on Kaua`i.

If you want to pay for your hunting expenience, you might want to consider going hunting on Ni`ihau through Ni`ihau Safaris, 808-335-3500, homepages.hawaiian.net/ niihauisland/safaris.html The price will set you back an easy $1650, not including licensing fees, and rifle rental. What is included is a round-trip helicopter flight to Ni`ihau, a hunting guide, and a bag limit of one sheep and one wild boar, which, if caught, are skinned, packed and readied for mounting. The game is plentiful, but the guides do know where to go for the game, which kind of takes the fun out of the whole process. You also won’t see or come into contact with the island’s residents.

Hunting licenses are mandatory in order to hunt on public, private or military land anywhere in Hawai`i. You can register for a license online at hunting.ehawaii.gov/hunting/ license.html. If you’re a Hawai`i resident, a license is $20 and that’s good for the fiscal year (July 1-June 30).

The main requirement for a hunting license in Hawai`i is a Hunter Education Card. If you’re a visitor and plan on hunting while you’re in Hawai`i, make sure that you have your hunter education card. Once you get that, you can fill out a letter of exemption, which you can get online at
www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dcre/know.htm. You mail that in, your form will be processed and you’ll be able to purchase a license.

There are hunting sites along Waimea Canyon. You can hunt deer, wild boar and sheep. To find out the hunting periods, restrictions, and areas, your best bet is to contact Division of Forestry and Wildlife Kaua`i District Office at 808- 274-3438.
