The Department of Land and Natural Resources has announced the opening of black-tailed deer hunting season on Kauai.
Due to the Appellate Court ruling, each hunter will be permitted to take only one antlered buck deer (3-inch antler minimum) during the 2014 season, either during the archery, muzzleloader rifle or regular rifle seasons. Both application and tag fees for the 2014 Kauai black-tailed deer season will be waived.
The deer archery season will be in Hunting Units F, J and K from Sept. 13 through Oct. 26, on Saturday and Sundays only.
Archery permits are now available in the Lihue DOFAW office at 3060 Eiwa St., Room 306. Hunters must present their 2014-15 Hawaii Hunting License in order to obtain a deer archery permit.
Hunters may either check-in at the Waimea Heights or Kokee Hunter Check Station. A successful bow hunter who has bagged a deer will have filled their deer season bag limit. However, archers may continue to take pig and goat through the duration of the deer archery only season. The bag limit will be one pig and one goat per archer per hunting day. The deer muzzleloader tag season will be in Hunting Units A and H on Sept. 13-14.
The regular rifle tag season for deer will be in Hunting Units A and H for six consecutive weekends beginning on Sept. 20 and ending Oct. 26. The application deadline for the regular deer rifle tag season is 3:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14.
