Thanks guys!

Gatekeeper,  Muflon season is open to everyone on Lanai.  You have to apply for tags.  The tags are usually available in April.  All bowhunters get to hunt for one week in July. The only fee is the Hawaii hunting liscense.  
We also have feral, hybrid and muflon sheep on Big Island.  There is public and private hunting there too!

Kelly,
Sorry I forget which wood combo that was.  I don't think it was cocobolo though. Might be purple heart, but I'm not sure? I don't have that bow anymore.  I started shooting a Stalker Recurve.

Congrats on the awesome hunt and thanks for sharing the story. That is quite an accomplishment!

Ryan, do you have any more pics that you could share? I'd love to see more pics of the countryside and wildlife.

Are they rutting like crazy right now? Were all the males in hard horn or were you seeing some in velvet too?  

I was hunting in the tx Hill country this past weekend (there are some good numbers of free ranging axis there - mostly escapees that have gotten loose from high fence places during floods, etc).  Usually they rut this time of year and they were bellowing like crazy.  I think a lot of people do not realize how loud and how huge they can get, to me they seem more like an elk than a deer.  Congrats again on the hunt, that is a fine animal. IMO its the best tasting venison out there.

Nice job Ryan! One more reason to live in paradise.  Next time I head over to the islands, I'm bringing my bow.

Fishnhunt,
I started a new Hawaii picture thread for you.  I love when those axis scream!!!!!!  Sure gets the blood pump'n!

South!
I'll be waiting!!!!!!
 

Sweet Ryan, some beautiful animals looks like you got that down pat and continued success to you.  Guess those Muzzy's are working just fine!

Thanks Mark!
Yup, Those four blade Muzzys are wicked!    


Aloha!
Ryan

Great job Ryan. Love the picture. Looks like your strings are gaining in popularity. Keep up the good work.
