Hawaii Unit Finder
Answer six questions and get Hawaii public hunting units on every island ranked by habitat fit, 2026–27 seasons and public land for pigs, goats, mouflon and feral sheep, axis deer and black-tailed deer.
How the Hawaii finder works
DLNR's Division of Forestry and Wildlife manages 43 public hunting units on Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. DLNR does not publish harvest by unit, so this tool scores each unit on USGS land cover (NLCD 2001 Hawaii) and elevation, its share of public land and how well its seasons fit your dates and gear.
Season fit uses the HAR 13-123 game mammal rules for each island, with the Hawaiʻi Island adaptive management amendments effective May 18, 2026: legal gear, hunting periods and hunting days by unit. Turkey, pheasants, francolins, quail, chukar and doves follow the HAR 13-122 game bird rules (Nov. 7, 2026–Jan. 31, 2027 on weekends and holidays).

Hawaii hunting FAQ
Where can I hunt pigs year-round in Hawaii?
Many units are open year-round for feral pigs, including Mauna Kea (Unit A), the Hilo and Kohala watersheds (Unit D) and the natural area reserves (Unit K) on Hawaiʻi Island, Oʻahu Units C, D and E, Maui Units A, B, D and E and Molokaʻi Units A and B. Some are weekends and holidays only.
Where are mouflon hunted in Hawaii?
Mouflon and mouflon–feral sheep crosses are hunted on Mauna Kea (Units A, G and K), at Puʻu Anahulu and Puʻu Waʻawaʻa (Units E and F, by tag) and on Lānaʻi by lottery tag from late July to October.
Is there a duck season in Hawaii?
No. Hawaii has no waterfowl season. Doves, pheasants, francolins, quail and chukar are hunted in the game bird season from the first Saturday in November to the last Sunday in January.
