State officials have announced a special Lanai mouflon sheep control hunt that will take place on four weekends in April.
Hunting days are scheduled for April 2-3, 9-10, 16-17 and 23-24, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources announced Tuesday.
A limit of 50 non-Lanai residents will be allowed per weekend, with no participation limits or call-in requirements for Lanai residents. Non-Lanai residents will be required to call in and reserve one weekend only. Each group will be limited to eight individuals.
Call-ins will begin from 8 to 10 a.m. Monday and continue each Monday thereafter until all slots are filled. To reserve a weekend, call (808) 984-8113.
All non-Lanai resident hunters participating in the control hunt must sign in next to their names and sign Pulama Lanai waivers at the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife office in Lanai City. After the hunt is finished, hunters will be required to record their harvest. Lanai residents must sign in and out daily, including Pulama Lanai waivers, and indicate harvest.
For this special control hunt, Units 1 and 2 will be available for hunting on Saturdays and Sundays. Hunting will be limited to ewes, with no bag limit. Evidence of sex and species as well as application and tag fees are waived for the hunt.
Due to COVID-19, the hunt may be canceled at any point, DLNR said.
For more information, call (808) 984-8100 on Maui, (808) 553-1745 on Molokai and (808) 565-7916 on Lanai.
