Axis Deer Hunting – Island of Lanai, Hawaii

I wanted to put this paragraph from Darrel Colburn SFC MIL USA OSD one of our Active Duty Soldiers. Even the Army will gave a day or two off to enjoy the family.

Mighty Bwana,
I just returned from my hunt of a lifetime on Lanai and am in the U.S. Army at 19yrs. I was truly humbled by the terrain and even more by the beauty, splendor, Island hospitality and friends that will give me memories that I will never forget. We were a party of 4 and opted for the Paid Lanai land hunt the day prior to the public drawn tag hunt on Saturday 5 April 09. We did really well and walked away with 6 animals total. I struck out on the paid hunt on the 4th, but was patient and on the 5th I made the kill that I will never forget. The rack was not big and was still in velvet, but the body was huge, we figure about 190 to 200 lbs. He took me and my buddy about 2.5hrs to carry out of baby death valley. I thank the locals on Lanai for maintaining their island and their heritage. I hope to make it back next year with my son. Big Mahalo to Mary for housing us and Kimou for the 4X4 truck.

Great story of a great hunt… Darrel brought back memories of my days on the island of Lanai…

Without a doubt the most popular out of all the deer hunting categories, white tail deer hunting is one of North America’s favorite pastime, enjoying high popularity among the young and the elderly. With well over thirty-six million whitetails and more than twelve million hunters, whitetail deer hunting is flourishing with each year that passes. This has led to numerous emerging locations where to hunt, and even to tries of populating different new areas with whitetails.

Hunters,

The deer season has now officially closed in many states but deer hunters can still enjoy many related activities that will improve their skills for next season. The number of activities that can be done during the off season is only limited to your imagination. The following activities are just some of the things we do here in the Midwest during the winter months after the deer season has ended. The main goal is to always have fun and to learn at the same time.

Hello, I understand that axis bucks bugle. Does any one know when the rut is in Hawaii and is the bugle like that of an elk in rut in Colorado? Do does also squeal like elk cows? Thanks for any response, Jim L.
