This number is Kauaʻi's and Lānaʻi's, and it does not hold on Maui or Molokaʻi, where there is no deer limit at all: "Any deer encountered while hunting on a public hunting area may be taken by the hunter regardless of number or sex of deer taken." On Kauaʻi it is one deer per permit-tag per licence year — one antlered buck of fork horn or better in unit A, one deer of either sex everywhere else — and a hunter may hold more than one tag across the archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunts. On Lānaʻi it is one axis deer per hunt drawn, and a youth may take one in the youth hunt and one in a general hunt. Exhibits 1, 5, 7 and 9 from Chapter 13-123, HAR.

You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Tags for a unit

Drop a pin first — these are sold per hunting unit, and the app will not guess which one you meant.

Prices are what the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife printed for 2026, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

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.
