Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island

[hereandthere]

There are hunting families here that would gladly kill dear for food and enough to feed their families year round and their relatives too. That will never happen though. The state will spend another $100,000.00 to a helicopter eradication team that will kill 3 in 6 months and say our tax dollars were well spent. There are areas where short range shotgun slug would not endanger people or livestock. But again that will never happen. The state will spend another couple hundred thousand on studies. And say it was money well spent. Public officials don't want weapons in Hawaii. Try get some here and you will know. The rules about carrying them, the specifics on where you can hunt, how you hunt, who you have to report to and on and on so that hunting here is a freaking drag. Get on utube and put in axis deer on big island the videos will astound you... Hawaii officials don't want to feed the people they want to bring more tourists and haoles here to make money to do more studies and pay more helicopters. Get it its a vicious cycle of procrastination that has no benefit to the people of Hawaii. Im tired.
