Fishboy, Pig/boar hunting is very common, also goat, sheep (inc. mouflan), quail, turkey, pheasant, chukar, dove, francolin, african sandgrouse. There are axis deer on other islands for hunting, but the introduction of the deer was halted here because of the habitat destruction they have done on Maui.
Most pig hunting is done with hunt dogs.
Although hunting is fairly common, few hunters get the required hunting licenses, so the state only has around 10,000 licensed hunters (less than 1% of the state population, and this holds for most county data)
Most bird hunting is done upland, Mauna Kea, Pu'u Wa'awa'a Ranch & such, and many more bird hunters have tags.
