It is a recognition that you have taken a hunter safety course, which takes time, and you don't want to be waiting weeks for approval, when you are limited on time there in Hawaii. The bow hunting only area in Maui is near the top of the volcano. Beautiful up there. If you google satellite images it seems that they have not included the numerous houses and neighborhoods that are up there. Cistern tanks are a very common sight, as are "no trespassing" signs. It gets very cold up there at night with temperatures down in the thirties I only had two weeks there with a wedding party obligations that ruled out a bow hunt. I did a four hour wild pig hunt with knife and dogs on my first morning. No pig, but a real adventurous time taking in the terrain and different flora. Youtube has videos you might want to check out.

Depending on the island, you can hunt pigs, feral goats, feral sheep, mouflon sheep, axis deer, even an outside chance of blacktail deer and blackbuck. Even bird hunting. Turkeys, pheasant, chukar, quail and partridge. Game birds pretty much have seasons and some islands have big game seasons in certain areas (public land, not private) but for the most part big game hunting is year round. And either sex, no bag limit. All islands don't have the same game or opportunities. So you should focus either on what island you (and yours) want to visit and pick your hunt from there. Or focus on what game you want to hunt and go to the island that that would have the best opportunity for that game.

Totally open for suggestions..
