Hawaii is getting its own reality show and if you're used to Hollywood's mai tai sipping, lei-wearing version of the island paradise, you're in for a surprise.

The History Channel's newest show "American Jungle", follows the lives of eight hunting "clans" from Hawaii's Big Island who live completely off the land and off the grid. Turf wars ensue as each clan boasts its own special ties to the sacred hunting trails. Some clans date their bloodlines back to Hawaiian royalty while others engage in a more spiritual connection, like drinking the blood of their hunted kill.

The eight episode series takes place during the island's two-month hunting season. The island hunters pursue their prey with knives and spears, taking down feral bulls, wild boars and other island game.

The show's website promises a high strung drama set in thousands of acres of untamed tropical jungle, where "survival depends on allegiance to family, and power belongs to those who can control the most hunting trails."

During a time when hunting-based reality shows seem to be TV's current over-done obsession (think Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, American Hoggers, etc), what will set this show apart from the rest?

"The show captures hunting as it truly is," said T'Jaye Forsythe, the Hawaii-born hunter who first came up with the show concept. "It's about survival and territory wars and surviving off the land. This is the off-the-grid subculture of Hawaii's hunting lifestyle."

The concept for a Hawaii hunting show first began with the birth of Forsythe's website, RustyBoar.com. The site acts as an online network for Hawaii hunters to upload their hunting pictures, videos and stories. "There are so many unbelievably talented hunters here," Forsythe told the Hawaii Reporter, "I wanted the world to see this."

Forsythe also wants the show to represent Hawaii to the rest of the country. "It will enrich their understanding of the culture on this island," he told the Huffington Post. "This is what goes on beyond the beautiful oceans and sandy white beaches. [There are] real issues, like conservation and how the hunting territories are getting smaller."

The first episode of "American Jungle" premieres Nov. 10 on the History Channel.

Mahalo bradda Charlie for the info. Looking fwd to watching the show too bad its only 8 episodes.

Aloha

Aloha my braddahs i hope this link helped a little....should be some action!!

CLANS? MORE LIKE CLOWNS!!!!!!

Tell everybody on here I know some of these guys on this show n they are real hunters to the max . But that show is a major f*ck up to us hunters n people who know we losing our lands to greedy hungry money people n this show could have help Hawaii future but choose Hollywood n money over doing the right thing . TJ from RUSTYBOAR knows cuz I had taken him n history channel hunt n caught two sows hunting not staged . TJ knows what we needed on this show to help Hawaii future . Braddahs only can hope if they keep doing this show it will show Hawaii in true light to our subsistence living., doing what we know n passing down what was given to us for the future kids of Hawaii . Hawaii in bad shape we losing all our lands

SCRIPTED reality .

5 minutes into the show and my whole family was cracking up because of how stupid this show is. Hunting clans? Really? This show is so whack, this makes us look like an illiterate bunch of fools, so scripted and so false. Its more of a comedy than anything. EPIC FAIL!!!!!

U are 100% right n TJ knows how Hawaii needed to be portrayed not this Hollywood false teaching to show the world . Another thing it's called American Jungle (WHY) is it another way to say hey people of Hawaii remember we still own u . It should say American by force . N just maybe the story would be true

I was hoping for see more dogs but I then I realized they would have had to rent my dogs!

Nah seriously though! This was only the first episode, I hope by the 8th the show does some kind of good for hunting in Hawaii!

Hunter6262 & VBK- Illegally Occupied Jungle just doesn't sound right and we all know it really all belongs to Scotty anyway & Scotty is everywhere!

I enjoyed tonights show, Replays at 12am for any vampires that missed it!

My opinion on all dis is if we want our story told it needs to be a documentary not a REALITY show. Because im sure most everybody know dat a lot of it is anything but REAL!!!!!

Cave- I personally felt offended with the last program and probly wont watch anymore. Although im really looking fwd to watching da cowboy series and might watch that one.

Good Huntin All,

Bradda Muns

Well said Muns! I've gotten to know most of the hunters on the show and the ones I do know are hard core hunter's/gather's. All in all Muns I hope something good can come of it and it has open the doors for someone to come in an tell our stories and share with the WORLD on how we really live...

GIVE MY ALOHA TO YOUR FAMILY AND SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD..

Sheld'z & Bub'z

With the way i watch the two episodes it will never tell the truth and show Hawaii in true light .Cannot see any hunter in Hawaii today knowing we losing ALL hunting / gathering could ever say this is good . Couldn't have come at a worse time

Just gotta say, money ain't worth losing pride honor and respect us Hawaiians and local hunters have earned through years of struggle. A fucking slap to our face in my opinion. American jungle more like american
Hollywood sellout. This is our aina our culture on the line nothing to joke or make a comedy out
Of. I am disappointed and can't believe that this is what it came
To. Gangs on trails gotta be kidding me. Script written monkey following fools. Open you eyes to your heart Hawaiians and ask yourself is this a good representation of our land our culture and our people???? Malama aina Malama Pono and Malama our Keiki's to make
Things right

"This is our aina our culture on the line nothing to joke or make a comedy out Of."

This is what its ALL ABOUT my braddaz and thats why I feel how I feel.

Aloha,

Bradda Muns

Braddahs u got it 100 % right frick this bs for money .

When it's all said n done n all the land in Hawaii is fenced and eradicated then what ? Money no can help u now it's gone ! We getting closer n closer to losing everything because of greed . To me everybody who loves us n are way of life should cut fences . Just my opinion

 

I love our Aina our people and our culture. To be respected from what I was taught was being a leader of equality,truth,honor and being a positive fair example for others even in the face of adversity. How will we ever be taken seriously. Seriously listened to, seriously taken into consideration if television portrays us in this sort of manner. Hunting, being a lawai'ia a true gatherer was always about comradery, a brotherhood. Sharing the experience,the knowledge with our family and friends. We lost the respect somewhere down the line for each other and what we stand and live for. I for one am guilty of doing so on occasion as I let my emotions get the best. The everyday struggle has a grip on our souls but I will not let it for any reason allow me to sellout my way of life and my nation(kanaka mauoli) within a nation. What are we willing to give up next for money, fame and power. What else will they steal from us. They took our land (still taking more as we speak) they found ways to curve our culture. And the most fucked part is they're finding ways to tear us apart from each other. From Brudda to Brudda let's stand and say enough is enough already. I got
Mainland friends calling me asking if its really like that over there. Really??? WTF!! I'm disgusted. How easy it is to make ones culture and ways look primitive and savage. How much damage has it done??? Well see. We are a strong proud nation filled with knowledge and aloha. Lets show our spirit. Mahalo for hearing me out. Take care my bruddahs and sistahs.

Guys, watch out for the night marchers lmao! SO LAME! Wanna stop watching but this shit is too hilarious. American jungle? more like american circus. Second episode was another epic fail!!!
