Kauai is a special place for my wife and I, we got married there ten years ago this October. My lovely bride has expressed several times over the years that she would love to go back and renew our vows. We're finally in a position I can afford it so for her birthday this year she's getting tickets. Being savvy in the ways of negotiations, I'm going to tell her that I have a short hunt planned and I want her and the girls to come with me. She can't get mad at that right???
Searching through this forum and a few others looking for information on hunting the Kalalau Trail on Kauai, didn't reveal a whole lot. From what I've read, there is good/decent opportunity to hunt walk-in style for goats along the coast. It's archery only and doesn't seem to have a closed season. Sheep, Moose and fall Caribou will have just finished here in Alaska before heading down there so I'll be in decent shape and I can hold my own with a pack on. The heat may whoop me a little though.
I have a few specific questions if anyone has experience with the area:
Is there a guide that hunts the area? If so, what are their rates? I'm not opposed to paying, just didn't find anyone online.
Is goat meat edible in October, not sure when their rut is? If so, recipes please!
Is it feasible to be successful in a day or two? I'll be on the island for 7-8 days but I need to be a husband and Dad too.
Does anyone want to come??? I'd be happy for company, especially if you've got experience in the area. Meat would be split 50/50 if we didn't eat all of it while we're there.
