What Is Axis Deer Hunting on Molokai?
Axis deer hunting means pursuing a species of deer originally brought to Hawaii in the late 1800s. These deer have thrived here and are now common across Molokai’s kiawe forests, open pastures, and rocky hills.
They don’t have natural predators, because of this, hunting axis deer is not only an adventure for you and other hunters, it also helps keep the island healthy by addressing concerns of invasive species.
Why Hunt Axis Deer on Molokai?
Molokai has one of the largest axis deer populations in Hawaii, which makes for great hunting opportunities.
More than just a sport, hunting axis deer here is important for conservation. These deer, while beautiful, can threaten native plants and local agriculture when left unchecked. Responsible hunting is part of managing the island’s ecosystem.
When you hunt with us, you’re part of a larger effort to protect Molokai’s unique ʻāina (land).
