Is there a rifle season there? How tough is it to bring a rifle to HI? I'm assuming no worse than shipping your bow?

I looked into it a while back and found that it’s a little more difficult to bring guns to Hawaii. Can’t remember 100% all the details.

And since all the state land rifle seasons are one weekend only, if you flew in Friday and flew out Sunday evening, you wouldn't need to do all the registration stuff. Would definitely double check on that - I haven't brought one to the islands. State land rifle hunts are a lottery system, they have a few 'seasons' - each season is a weekend. You get drawn at random - so you apply in october, and then in february or so they post results and you find out which weekend you're going, or if you're on standby. So rifle is harder to plan a trip around in the longer-term, as you won't know anything before february other than you might be hunting one weekend between march and may.

Lanai is 98% private with some state agreements I think, be careful out there
