Trip to the Big Island

Thought I would share some photos form the family trip to Kona.
With my daughter heading off to college next year and my boy all but married off Julie and I decided we should head to Hawaii for a little family time
The one thing I liked about Hawaii is the option to take a day here and there to go hunting or fishing or both.

I hunted with Nahele Outfitters. This is the second time I have hunted with them. Very good guides each time.
We hunted hogs with dogs catching three but letting them go as we never got on to a good one.
My son Colton took a nice black sheep


These sheep are more of a challenge then I thought they would be. We put on ten lies the first day and a couple more the second day before Colton closed the deal on a good ram.

We had booked a couple days of fishing on the High Noon boat. This is the second time I have fished with Capt Jah, he really makes sure everyone is included. Definitely the best bang for you buck on the island.
Fist day we caught a few short billed spearfish the second day we targeted blue marlin but came home empty.
A great day none the less.








We did a family day trip on the Body Glove boat, well worth it. A little snorkelling an diving, great food and cocktails, with a really friendly crew.






Fun times for sure. If you are planning a trip to the Big Island I would highly recommend Nahele Outfitters and High Noon Sportfishing

Looks like you had a grand time.

I understand one of the islands has been stocked with eland for the locals to use as a meat source.

I wonder if they would let an outsider hunt them for $$$?

Doug,
You know how to do the "family vacation" thing in style!

I think you are thinking of Niihau. They do offer hunts, or so I am told.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

If you knew the family you would know we don't sit around on the beach very well. Through in horse riding and ziplines and that wraps up our vacation.
