Wild pig hunting is a way of life for many Hawaiians as well as a passed down tradition. For many of us, hunting is our Costco, we just have to catch our meat first. On these hunts we go to the most pristine areas of Maui that most people never get to experience. We do lots of walking through beautiful lush fern country rarely visited by even most locals. We track the pigs using our knowledge of the land and the dogs highly trained senses. It is a heart pounding, exhilarating rush when the dogs have cornered a big pig. In order to perpetuate our cultural tradition, we only use dog and knife or spear.
Wild pig hunt through pristine Maui Mountains. We use knives and dogs only, “Hawaiian Style.” These animals are not fenced, fed or watered and are 100% wild. We operate by a philosophy that pairs a cycle of cultivating and harvesting plants and animals, while conserving the same resources and living in balance with our environment.
We provide you with muck boots, blazing orange tee shirt and backpack containing your lunch, water, first aid kit, headlamp and rain gear!
