bow hunting

howzit jus was wondering if anybody would be interested in taking me on a bow hunt,i used to hunt with dogs before,but i havent gone in awhile so figure i post this and see if anybody would be interested in taking me.i never did shoot a bow in my life but was thinking about buying a crossbow cuz it looks easier.ok thanks

Howzit Wessider! First of all which island are you from?? I am not positive but I am pretty sure it is illegal to hunt with a crossbow unless you are handicapped at which point you would qualify for a special permit to use a crossbow to hunt. I have been into archery since I was in elementary and had a Bear bow and wooden arrows that I used to "hunt" butterflies in the pili grass behind my house! ! It is extremely an adrenaline rush to be able to stalk up on an animal and place that perfect shot. Welcome to bowhunting and good luck!!

from oahu.i never went bow hunting,so i dont understand dat much

It is my understanding that you have to be disabled to legally hunt with a crossbow on public land. The rules may be different if you are on private land. When I was hunting Lanai this last spring, Gary from the Lanai Company Game Management was telling me that they do allow crossbow hunting when you buy the private land archery tag and hunt those four parcels of land. So something to think about there........

Is that the 50 dollar deal? You still have to have a hunting license though don't you?

not to be mean,but would any of you guys be willing on taking me on a bow hunt?or even invite me on your next dog n knife.thanks

Yes UpFront, that was the $50 deal, and you do need to have a hunting license first. IMHO, it is a great deal for an archery hunt on private land. And now that I know they allow crossbows, I've started drooling everytime I see crossbow in the stores. Went to Oahu last weekdend w/ my Beloved and we saw the Barnett they have in Sports Authority. I kept trying to talk her into getting it, since it was my birthday, but she wasn't going for it. But one day...............

Wessider, when you get out to Maui, let me know and I'll take you on a hunt. First thing is do the hunter safety education course, and get your license if you haven't done so already.........You'll learn plenty good stuff in dat course.......

haha good try though on the Barnett Maui.

no probs das wen i get out to maui.got my lic. by the way thanks fo da invite

Yah guys. If I'm not mistaken, crossbows are only allowed on private land, and you still need a hunting license to hunt on private land. Check on the DLNR website for info
