Hawai‘i game bird hunting season begins a week from today, state Department of Land and Natural Resources officials announced this week.
“Department biologists are predicting an average to good season of bird hunting as spring rainfall was high to extremely high this year, but with dry conditions now widespread,” DLNR chair Peter Young said in a press release.
The fall game bird hunting season ends on Jan. 21.
A game bird stamp is required in addition to a hunting license for all game bird hunting on public and private lands. Spring turkey hunting seasons will be announced in mid-February or portions of the Big Island.
On Kaua‘i, the Waimea Heights special game bird hunting area will again be open, but this year on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and all state holidays, not just Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Hunting on private lands is the same: Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and state holidays at the landowner’s discretion.
