Hunt Hawaii
Turkey hunting in Hawaii? Who knew? Outdoor Life's Andrew McKean--and his band of feral clowns--chase gobblers in paradise.
 This brace of gobblers came on a string to my high-pitched slate. Unfortunately, they were on the other side of the road from our hunting area, so I could only watch them strutting and gobbling in the yellow-flowered fireweed. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENT |

Mckean, I was really hoping for a few more pics of the beach. I was told there was a lot of turkeys migrating around there.
Is that Ray Eye in the red and white clown mask? I saw an article on him in another mag and he had one just like it. Beautiful scenery in this segment, and the landscape is pretty good too.
I was expecting more hunting pics not some random pics of chicas on the beach! :) hopefully you knew them and were not being a pervert! ha ha just kidding
As to the identity of the feral clown, it's the best kept secret in the spring woods - almost as well kept as that of the original Quaker Boy. As for Ray Eye, he's the guy you want in any hunting camp. Funny, energetic and the best camp cook in America. He can also squeeze some sweet music from a box call. As for Nater7's comment: I felt exactly like some sort of beach pervert collecting those photos. But I'm just feeding the machine. After all, if you'll look at the bikini icefishing team, you'll look at tight buns on a tropical beach. Got snowed on during Montana's turkey opener last weekend. Makes Hawaii gobblers even more appealing!

I had the great pleasure of hunting with Jon Sabati on the Kealia Ranch while in the islands 4 years ago. Jon is the head of the NWTF chapter on Big Island, an all-around great guy and knows the ground he guides. He knows that those who come so far to hunt want a quality experience and is careful about pressuring birds. I hunted the last weekend of the season but we set up at first light in an area where he had not yet hunted birds on the roost. We had a tom in full strut on a dead koa limb 80 yards in front of us that put on a show! He flew down and went away with his hen, but 2 more longbeards charged in shortly afterward and I tagged my first Rio on the slopes of Mauna Loa! Jon got it all on film for his cable outdoors show in the island and I have a DVD to relive that hunt for a long time!
Grilled turkey marinated in fresh Hawaiian pineapple with mango and papaya, and fresh ahi sashimi--that was a MEAL!
If you are going to Hawaii in March--call Jon and get your Aloha State gobbler!
