I went to the Big Island of Hawaii and hunted black Hawaiian Ram – 02-02-2018

My trip was great! My guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife in it. He also picked me up from my hotel the morning of Feb. 2 and we proceeded up the mountain in search for a nice black Hawaiian Ram to take. During the hunt we encounter ed mouflon sheep, hogs, turkey and also some 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 bi pods 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!
