There are often really cheap plane tickets from west coast cities.  I often try and arrange a trip when I am passing thru Seattle for other reasons to lower costs.

Can really do these cheap if you don't just go stay in a hotel the whole time.  I probably get away with $600 plus airfare when I am splitting costs with another person.  I suspect Holchin could do it for half that ; ^ ).

Bringing a wife/girlfriend where they need a hotel the whole time will add a LOT to the total however.

Goat meat is unique compared to any other meat I have ever eaten.  I like it just fine but I could forsee some not liking it.  If you can find a way to get it froze (may be a challenge) it is easy to bring home in a cooler.  I have brought as much as 40# or more home from HI trips.  It is better with green papaya leaves added as they work as a natural tenderizer.

paleFace, that spot looks familar. My son last March.



Steve H. was a great help for info. Thanks again Steve

We just returned from Kauai last Sunday. Man I love that island. No hunting this trip, I'm still recovering from knee surgery, but a little shore fishing and some hiking at Koke'e was just the ticket.

TTT in case anyone else wants to see this and missed it.

BTW, Alaska Airline is having a sale so broke down and bought tickets for my wife and I to Maui from Anchorage for October.  Intend to get hopper flights and do a two island trip, just which two islands, hmmm?  Kauai is likely and Waimea Canyon should also be open at that time!

TTT as requested.

These photos bring back great memories...I hiked the Kalalau Trail about four years ago, saw a lot of goats, but was not hunting at the time.  Unreal landscape.  Thanks for posting!

Thank you Steve We are in the middle of harvest so I didn't have time to read this until this morning. Great stuff!
