That is a very nice ram.  Hoping to be in Oahu around June of next year to visit my son. Hope to get in some hunting while I'm there. Thanks for the encouragement.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Extremely nice goat...good show!

I just returned from a trip to Molokai, where I killed a nice billy last year. Love those goats in the rocks/cliffs and higher elevations. This year we ignored the goats and hunted axis deer. No deer taken, but love hunting in aloha land. All the best...mahalo.

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I missed one just like that once (no missed him twice!    :thumbsup:

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Thanks gang!  It is really is nice and I hope a milestone for myself since switching to shooting left-handed last August.  Accuracy has never been better since the switch and now slowly building confidence with hunts like these.  He is a big billy, but nevermind that, I'm still stoked I didn't miss!!

Kevin Dill : I love Molokai too!  Got my first axis there and my grandmother grew up there.  I think lots of folks might have the idea axis are high fenced exotics ... but the wild ones here are nothing like that.  Hunter success rates are in the single digits of a percent!  Hope you get one on the next trip!!

KSdan : Oh we've probably all missed those that we can't get out of our heads!  

Todd Alexander : Thanks man! Never learned more about anything than with a stickbow in my hands.  Wish I got into it earlier ... but I guess it is a progression and we all have to "pay our dues."

Great pic and great thread. Cngrats.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

Nice work. I lived out there for a while and still have family out there (central Oahu) that I visit, but I've never bowhunted Hawaii . . . may have to change that.

Ryan,
 Great goat! In the years I lived and hunted Hawai'i, I never killed a goat - pigs, sheep, Mouflon, Axis, etc. - but they always eluded me. Congrats and Aloha

Thanks Gang!  We recently wrapped up an 8 day hunt on the island of Lanai for the State Mouflon Sheep Hunt.  It was a pretty tough one but we did manage to fill a few tags.  Been trying to work on a small teaser vid of what we did out there.

  Ranger75 : Certainly give it a go!  Hard to beat an all year hunting season.  Not the greatest management out here, but there's still great opportunities to be had.

  Birdbow : Thanks on the DVD!  Considered making another.  Just super time consuming and I'm more of a public land guy which can get touchy filming hunts on public land.  I'd have to film more on private land, but that's harder to come by and even harder to get myself excited for.  Maybe I'll use YouTube more for our public land pursuits.
