Can I hunt boar on the BI?

Frau Chunkster and I have actually observed turkeys along the old Saddle Road section that is now bypassed by the new version, but still useable.  I'm told they are more clever than the pheasants and not as easy to bag.  We've also seen goats along the newer sections of the road, but have only seen sheep when hiking well off the highway.

Many years ago Pam and I were driving back from the Kona side when some really weird large birds ran across the Saddle road quite a distance in front of us. IIRC this was between PTA and the turn-off for Mauna Kea. My first thought was that we just saw some ostriches, I'd never seen anything quite like it before. They were large and incredibly fast, but too far away to get a good view. Now, I had seen ostriches before, but in Africa, not on the BI, so all the way back to Hilo I was wondering what we saw. This is when I found out that wild turkeys lived on the island. This would have been the early 2000s.
