I was listening to Remi Warren’s podcast, and he said that Hawaii was his favorite out of season hunt. That got me thinking; guides are really expensive, but I have never needed a guide before. I’m a pretty savvy hunter in Wa, really never struggled filling tags for me and my sons. Anyone here done any hunting in Hawaii?
Especially interested if you have done self guided.

As said above, access to good country is key. We (my wife and I) covered a fair amount of public ground and saw no hog or Axis deer. The guide had access to ranches and we saw plenty of hogs, deer, and sheep there. Another note is the rabid anti-hunting mentality of many on the island and bringing in a firearm I have been told is difficult.
Good luck, I would be interested to hear how it goes.

You scored a free trip to the best island! Before kids, Hawaii was our go to vacation spot and Maui is by far our favorite island. I still have family and coworkers that have places on Maui. I usually go to unwind, so can’t help with hunting side. I can definitely give you the run down on other activities/things to do if you’re interested.
I’m headed to Maui next month & would be interested in a run down of activities/things to do. Thanks

I did a solo self-guided hunt on Maui last Feb (2019) and had a blast, other than the fact that it actually SNOWED on me. It was apparently like the only recorded time that it snowed at the particular elevation and location I was at. Got into several groups of feral goats. I had my longbow at the time and visibility with fog and sleet was difficult, but still doable. Missed a shot at about 18 yrds on a goat, but rushed my shot. If I had my compound I would have had more opportunities.
From what I've learned, the best opportunity for self-guided archery on Maui is for goats and pigs. Seems that a lot of the axis deer are found on private areas, which equals $$. Not to say you can't find any on public, self-guided. Lanai is where most people hunt for axis deer and the mouflon sheep (and turkey), and much of that is guided.
Going back to Maui next month for my second self-guided archery hunt with my cousin. This time with my compound.
PM me for details. Maybe we can connect for a hunt!

I've been to Maui a couple times, haven't tried hunting there. I had a blast snorkeling. I rented an underwater camera from a snorkel shop for $50 for a week. Well worth it in my opinion as I still enjoy looking back over all the underwater photos and videos i took.
No fishing license is required for fishing in the salt water. Last time i was there I spent a lot of time fishing. You can target small reef fish, or big predator fish depending where you try.

Warren and Annabelle's does a dinner show with magic acts.
It was AMAZING.
I know you dont go there for dinner shows, but it was unreal. We'd go again in a heartbeat if we were there.
Family friendly. We dont tend to bring kids, but it's a really nice show. ,

Also ridiculously good bone fishing and I know the best spear fisherman on Molokai.
Note: "this is the least friendly island to Haoles" but I didn't experience that when ever I went there.
Note II: Hawaii has some strict gun laws, do some research before you go. Less troublesome as a tourist but they have them.
