Hawaii Exotic Hunt Report by Jeff Fredrickson
My trip to Hawaii was great! My guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife in it. He also picked me up from my hotel the first morning, and we proceeded up the mountain in search for a nice black Hawaiian ram to take. During the hunt we encountered mouflon sheep, Vancouver bulls! It was just before mid morning while scaling the lava rock, my guide motioned me to get down and stay low. As I looked through my binoculars there were about 6 to 8 sheep and a nice ram in the back moving across the lava rock. We were able to crawl up about 15 yards and set up on the bipods and take the shot! It was a successful shot at 130 yards and a follow up shot at 160 where the ram dropped.
My guide, Kalima was great helping me and taking care of the ram for me as well as caping him out for a shoulder mount. After the hunt we walked back to the truck and Kalima took the time to drive around and show me the awesome scenery! This was my first hunt in Hawaii and also for Black Hawaiian ram! Was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back!

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
