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 believe you have to take your firearm to a police station in the town you’re staying in and register it with them when you arrive. 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.

This is true - although, I believe there's an exception to that rule if you are staying less than 3 days. 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.

The private land stuff is always open to rifle though isn't it?

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

Yes - 'company land' is land managed by the company, Pulama Lanai. They have designated parcels for archery, shotgun, rifle, and guided hunts - and I know archery is every day, I think rifle is but not sure. BUT the permit to hunt company land with a rifle is $400/day, which is why I haven't looked into it further.

That is correct - all the land that anyone hunts on Lanai is private. Essentially, for hunting purposes, the private land is divvied up into two types - state land (managed by the state, with state-issued tags and seasons) and company land (managed by the company, Pulama Lanai).
So even though I was on a 'state land' hunt, I was still technically hunting private land - just a section of private land that the state is allowed to manage hunts on and that anyone can access.
