Bump.....
Well we need a new plan, because the deer have moved up deep into the interior. After hiking Mauna Loa for weeks I feel it's not even remotely possible to eradicate. We need to look at other options. It's imperative that we act fast or we will be forced to deal with it! Exactly what brother Lokahi and all Maui residents are faced with.
This video is about a month old and was just posted to youtube. It is a must watch for anyone unsure about what we will be faced with in only a few short decades, probably less as I feel the deer numbers are very underestimated. Their trails above Pohala were heavily traveled and were not created by a few, more like a few hundred. I feel they are already established here.
From what I could tell, North Kohala is even worse. So I feel we surely have a large number of them on island. Running from up north all the way to the south. These animals are very illusive and the interior sections are thick and vast.
First 12 minutes are dedicated to other issues.
Please take the time to watch.

Mahalo for any useful discussion! It's time for us to come together and find a solution. It's now or never!
