STATE CANCELS LANA‘I AXIS DEER HUNT DUE TO COVID-19 RISKS

The 2020 deer rifle season within the Lana‘i Cooperative Game Management Area, is being cancelled due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19. The season was scheduled to run through May 17, 2020. The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) reports efforts are underway to notify hunters who are impacted by this cancellation. A new date for the hunt has not been set, but DOFAW noted that it will make every effort to provide an Axis deer hunting opportunity later this the year if the risk of spreading the coronavirus is no longer a threat.
As of right now, the above statement is all the information we have on the LANAI DEER AXIS HUNT. Once information is available, we will update you all. -Thank you
