Hawaii · Deer · 2026

This is every Hawaii deer season and the day it opens, the whole state at once. A pin turns it into a day-by-day calendar for one hunting unit, with your own tags marked against it.

Hawaii deer seasons, 2026

Hawaii’s 2026 deer seasons run January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the hunting unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the hunting unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.

Every screen for Hawaii

  • Today in Hawaii — Whether the season is open at your pin this morning, what you may take, and the legal light either end of the day.

  • Calendar in Hawaii — Every day your tags are good for in your unit, from opening day to the end of the season.
  • Rut in Hawaii — When the rut runs where you hunt, and which week is worth taking off.
