Lanai axis deer lottery

Did anyone put in for the Lanai Axis der hunt in Hawaii?

No but it is on my bucket list.

No but it is on my bucket list.

It is a awesome hunt. Lots of opportunity and potential chance at a trophy axis. I usually do the archery hunt but this year I applied for the rifle season. Archery season they are still soft velvet by the time rifle season comes around they will be hard horned.

Thats fun. Do you draw every year

I was 100% draw but it’s getting more and more popular so we will see this year I’m pretty sure the odds are really high

Aloha Bud-

Love Hawaii and love me some Axis!

h Finding a place during the archery and rifle season is near impossible for a haole like myself. I contemplated putting in for the rifle hunt and praying I could find a place and vehicle, but then found mokulele stopped allowing antlers on board (checked as well) then with the tragic events in Lahaina, and Maui in general, I didn't want to fly into Lanai then take the boat out - so, I didn't put in this year. I have been itching to try the state side - just got to work out the logistics ahead of time.

I have hunted Lanai on the private side (archery and rifle). Axis meat is the best!

yes, its 100% draw. I got the 8th week of rifle so we will see how it goes. I usually do archery this is my first year going for rifle.
