+Mark Hamm Thanks man. Hey, I just took another friend of mine sheep hunting where I took you and managed another ram in the "eradicated" Mauna Kea. And a pretty good one at that.
Your point on learning how to get close, I think is a paramount lesson for all hunters to learn, but particularly those who wish to hunt with recurve or longbow... then how to shoot it from the entanglements of cover... :D
Absolutely. See review here : th-cam.com/video/JLN0JVitMqY/w-d-xo.html I like it for longer shots for deer or smaller sized game with my relatively shorter draw length.
I'm a Vias guy especially on deer. I do feel there is a bit of an advantage on high contrast open patterns like vias for deer. I've my own close experiences with both and comparing. Sheep? heck it seems like it doesn't matter what I use, they see it all equally easily haha! Mouflon have incredible eyesight.
@@ryankohatsu8836 thank you. I have all vias stuff. Can you recommend a good outfitter on the island? I’d rather do a rifle hunt myself, but i have no clue about what land can be accessed as a public land hunter.
@@mxracer317 by far the #1 comment question I get. If I were you, and DIY is important, I'd contact Pulama Lanai and get a hold of game management department. Find a number off google as I don't have one. Lanai has the only DIY type axis hunting. Maui and Molokai are mostly private land. Also note, Lanai also has high dollar exclusive areas (that it seems popular media always leaves out). Not sure why our hunting community really loves embellishing the DIY in popular media when the truth is most on the media aren't. I would think hunters would be the last community to bs folks hahaha! I had a podcast episode giving as much information as I could on axis here but I chose to just do youtube instead. I'll get to a 100% no bs candid "What you should know" type axis video sometime.
Watched this many times and see you have a Bob lee, I've been useing em for going on thirty years . The kuiu outfit you have on , it's warm there like here in texas, what shirt and pants are those?
another awsome video Ryan! I'm from Big island and always wanted to go to Lanai or Molokai. Do u guide people when you go? or ur all friends? where do start to get these opportunities?
Actually the State hunt prohibits guiding or any compensation of guiding throughout the State on State land. It's kind of a ridiculous law while I watch eco-tours with huge commercial setups get a pass. It's all friends of mine and I usually stay with friends out there. It is difficult to find logistics for stay and vehicle out there. However, there are local families that rent out homes and trucks on Lanai. It is a significant portion of local economy; just got to ask around.
+808meesterbojangles during archery, I've done unskinned quarters on the load shelf of the 3000 or 3200. I check that with DOFAW before I leave though (making sure quartering is ok). I have never gone during rifle season where I think they're a bit more stringent on the packing out part either whole or halved. Personally, I think it is dangerous to pack out whole or halved given the physical abilities of most folks. The pack for this hunt was the Ultra 3000. I do have a Icon 3200 that I like slightly better for Hawaii stuff vs. mainland.
+Ryan Kohatsu solid ya i just picked up a 3200 it looks like a good pack. usually hunt the ironwoods and just drag out the deer for state hunt but wanted to go deeper this year and need something with more load capability thats why i was wondering. looks like it should work. never understood the packing out the whole deer thing seems dangerous especially if solo think im going to just quarter if lucky and hopefully warden will understand. thx for the insight
+Ryan Kohatsu happy new year ryan...your classmate...kimo akaka...i support and share the same views and values as you! Mahalo for all your hana, your work

Really cool video Ryan. Thank you for sharing it.
Best 24 minutes I've seen in a while...
Great video Ryan. You are a great Hunter and ambassador for hunting. Congrats on the great hunt.
+Mark Hamm Thanks man. Hey, I just took another friend of mine sheep hunting where I took you and managed another ram in the "eradicated" Mauna Kea. And a pretty good one at that.
Awesome Video... Thank you for taking the time and providing an adventure for us to watch and unfold the essence of Traditional Bow Hunters!!

EPIIIIIIIC HUNT! I've been watching a lot of hunting videos lately and this one is at the very top...THE BEST!🤙🏽🤙🏽💪🏽💪🏽😊😊
Awesome vid Ryan! Down to the last minute, stoked you scored.
+David Norris thanks! Yeah ... I've become quite used to the last hour last minute type of deal. Seems to happen like that often.
great video guys! you worded "hunting" better than I have ever heard that term put into words.... very cool!
Another great video Ryan. Congratulations Grant and Ryan. That's some ono kau kau right there

Absolutely. See review here : th-cam.com/video/JLN0JVitMqY/w-d-xo.html

Great stick bow hunt Ryan, nice buck.
+KEITH KANUHA Thanks!
Respect to you my brahdda..
Hunters of Hawai'i could not have a better voice (96743, co 2000). You are the Cameron Haynes of Hawaii.
+divinryan thanks man. I don't know about my fitness level though. I suck at running and have hip/knee issues but gotta keep moving.
Nice! Vias or Verde 2.0 or do you think it doesn't matter? I have both and am going in August.

Thought you was gonna do a lilttle dance coming up those rock with that music. Lol
awesome hunt do you make a backpack out of the deer for pack out out or use the kuiu frame somehow? and is it a 3200
