Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island

[rainyjim]

I think we need to navigate back to the topic of the threat these axis deer pose to us lawful Hawaiian residents. The pilot in question (just one guy) happens to be a friend of a friend. I don't know him personally. I don't own any guns or ever have. I fiercely hate helicopters and the fact that there are any in Hawaii. However, I do genuinely believe that the aforementioned helicopter pilot did believe he was performing a service to people in Hawaii by introducing deer. I do not question as you (pahoated specifically) mentioned early the threat ungulates can pose to a delicate ecosystem like Hawaii. I guess it just stirred me up to see people casting him in such a bad light! He's not a terrible person out to destroy ecosystems, just perhaps, a tad bit uninformed. I would like to say that despite our certain and specific disagreements I do really appreciate your passion you show for the land. So much Aloha to you.

Cheers
