Hawaiian Longbeards
« on: April 06, 2021, 03:16:27 PM »
I've been wanting to hunt turkeys in Hawaii since about 2012. Over the last decade I have been trying to make the trip over to hunt them, but have always had something come up to prevent the trip from happening. I finally made it over there this year. All the Covid protocols made for a extreme challenge just to get there. I found the turkey hunting to be much more challenging than I anticipated. There are a lot of birds on the Island, but didn't seem to be many on public land. It took me 6 full days of hunting before I finally located a flock of birds on public land and was able to knock down a double that morning. Spent the last few days of the trip enjoying warm water beaches and endless ahi tuna meals.  :tup:

Was there ever any doubt? I'm not surprised you made it happen. Working towards a US slam?
