Hey gang, just got back from a hunt on Niihau. Its a private island owned by the Robinson family. Myself and two buddies were on a pig eradication hunt. We all know how those pigs are. It was one full day and two half days of hunting those pesty critters. Sorry no pictures of the piggys as it was hunt water holes. Drive up, shoot as many as you could, leave for the next water hole and do the same again and again and again. Then at night go back to the close water holes and shoot the pigs that came to eat the ones that were shot prior. No meat was taken as you get to the island by helicoptor and space is really an issue. We had to leave some food and water back because we were overloaded.
The people there are the nicest people you will ever meet. They also have sheep, aodad and eland there for pay hunts. The herd of eland is about 6000 strong. It was a great hunt for us, not so good for the pigs. My two buddies are good shots and the pigs suffered for that.
There is also some history with December 7th, 1941 and a downed Japanese "zero" that landed there. The chief/pastor of the island is the son of the man and woman who eventually killed the Japanese pilot, even after he was shot three times by the pilot.
