LIHUE, KAUAI The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) announces the opening of a feral cattle control in the Puu Ka Pele Forest Reserve. As part of its core mission, the DOFAW is charged with protecting watershed areas from damage caused by feral cattle. To accomplish this, DOFAW requests the continued participation of the hunting community. The cattle control will begin on July 8 through August 28, 2014.
Permits will be limited and issued on a first-come, first-serve basis from the DOFAW Kauai Branch office at 3060 Eiwa Street Room 306, Lihue, HI 96766. Hunters must present their 2014-15 Hawaii Hunting license when acquiring their permit. You may pick up a permit for someone else; however you must present their valid hunting license at the same time.
Control dates (three day slots): July 15-17, 22-24, 29-31, August 5-7, 12-14, 19-21, and 26-28, 2014.
Fifty permits will be issued per three day slot. Bag limit will be two feral cattle per permit.
Cattle may be de-boned in the field, but participant must keep tail for identification.
Feral pig, feral goat, and black-tailed deer will be closed to hunting.
Hunters may sign up again after they have completed their hunt.
Hunters must sign-in and out at the Kokee Hunter Check station.
Many years ago there was an article on TBM about hunting feral cattle on one of the small islands in the Caribbean: either Dutch or French West Indies. That is a lot closer, but I have not heard about it again since that time, probably 20+ years ago.
paid vacation!
