OFF AXIS | HUNDREDS OF INVASIVE GOATS | S1E03

[@gethushin]

Don’t you guys think this is some super cool country to hunt? It’s even better in person! Onto the width of the goat, he taped out at exactly 30” wide tip to tip. Someone already guessed it right on the dot, congratulations. If you guys enjoy this video make sure to subscribe and share it with a friend or family member. Catch you on the next episode.

I know nic he’s a super cool bradah🤙🏼 #MauiNoKaOi

[@jeremiahaustin5253]

Never had any desire to hunt Hawaii then I started watching this series . What a awesome place! Hats off to Nick! What a great guy for creating this opportunity!

[@tolt1776]

I think you should've shot the sow you big baby...only boars? Sows can have 20-60 babies a year...even 100!

[@ryckgarrett1214]

Did you consider mounting the goat? It would be a cool mix to all your elk, deer mounts?

[@thomasmersburgh723]

I'm not sure if you guys have any interest in eating them or if you already do. I have no intention to pick a fight about eating what you catch but I have discovered that goat sausage is a winner! Pulled some out of the smoker the other day and was not gamey at all. But anyway one less invasive in Hawaii nei is a positive! Sick video. 🤙

[@fredlusk1601]

I love this video. Not a couple guys sitting in a blind over bait. Actually out there in fair chase. This is true hunting. 😊

[@hayn1400]

Nice goat! Go for the Hawaiian grand slam. A good boar with some tusk, mouflon ram, feral ram and then a hybrid ram is what you’d need to make it. Love this Hawaii episodes bro… Aloha🤙🏽

[@gethushin]

Hey, now that sounds like a challenge. I like it

[@rarepower]

How do you find the public land for hunting on Hawaii usually?

[@kenamatice282]

Why not through in a blacktail deer from Kauai

[@ElevatedTines]

REALLY dig the scenic intro and the subtle tunes! Should do another this fall with all the colors! Only 3 minutes in but you know for a fact I'm already going to love it🤙 Keep inspiring and entertaining boys! You do more for alot of us than I'm sure you guys will ever know. Stay safe bros ❤

[@gethushin]

Thanks for the kind words Kyson 👊🏼 hope you enjoyed it!

Axis would be the hunt of choice! Nice shots all the way around!

[@gethushin]

Axis for the win!!

[@micahyoung9558]

Yep, I’d love to do it all! Amazing scenery and the hunting looks awesome.

[@joshward9646]

Awesome hunt I will be in Oahu starting on Sunday had no idea Maui had axis and all of these other animals to hunt! Next time I will definitely be looking into Maui and trying to book a hunt for axis.

[@gethushin]

It’s tough because it’s all tied up in private land but a few outfits offer hunts.

[@tyhottell]

Hunting is my excuse for adventure! I’d hunt any of the 3 as long as I got the adventure of the hunt. What a cool place! Axis deer tho would be cool!

[@ColbyOttoOutdoors]

Love the maui hunts! Great job!

[@gethushin]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@billstev100]

Excellent as always Eric!

[@gethushin]

Thanks you. Turns out he’s right at 30”

[@jadem4893]

Is that measurement taken from tip of horn to other tip?

[@beardedtraveleradam]

Nice Hunt and video!! When I moved to Hawaii I was so stoked its a hunters paradise!! Iv been trying hop over to maui for hunt but seems like mostly private land? Was that private or public land? My favorite hunt is axis still trying break 35" Hunt one day and troll for big ahi and Marlin!!!

Awesome video!

[@ronaldpetersen255]

32” spread on the Billie Goat…… I would love to do the trifecta Sika, Hogs and Goat!! I love both horn and antler. Being from Alaska and hunting for Dall Sheep, Mt. Goat and Muskox as well as the antlered critters, I have a love and appreciation for horned big game as well. Great series, looking forward to the next chapter-Ron

[@normandoughty8737]

Seen you were from Alaska, I was born here on a homestead in 1960. Sure wish my dad never left. You're fortunate to still hunt Dull sheep and Muskox. Imhave hunted Hawaii goats. Not much sport, and yes they are everywhere.

[@gethushin]

Mine either. I’d have steaks and fish fillets galore

[@grobinson]

@@gethushin For sure!! Thanks for the great content. As usual you guys are killing it. No pun intended.

[@KG-wn7fm]

Spanish goat definitely looks the coolest.

[@ericwiitala5407]

Those are pretty goats! I'd love the opportunity to hunt them. Can you hunt the cattle? I realize it's mostly private property, but I hope at some point the state can work out an incentive plan to allow hunters to hunt them. Personally, I could hunt any one of them, but those goats peak my interest.

[@cwilliams808]

I’m pretty sure ranches/ private property do some cattle extermination but they’re not recognized as legal game anywhere

[@coyotealejandro1976]

Just like to hunt for food 👍🏼👍🏼

[@devinleenhouts6562]

Yes to all.3 plus Vancouver bulls aka feral cattle

[@Eggomay420]

Hell yeah first a bear hunt now this real nice thanks hush

[@shedhunter11]

That looks so fun

[@erichalvorsen5997]

How do you hunt those? Do you need a tag? Same with the axis

[@FreeBirdOutdoors365]

Oh feral goat is a dream hunt of mine

[@makapa2u]

Notice the temperature differences how it’s 90s at the beach a 1/2 hour later up at the ranch it’s 65 degrees

[@themoatfamily6045]

Nice job! It would be fun to hunt in Hawaii someday. Those goats are really pretty.

[@jamiebryson3826]

Coolest video ever! Is this all private land? Is there any public hunting areas? Congrats on the goats 👍🐐🙌

[@Therezlife360]

Such a cool video and I'm definitely on the axis bandwagon!!

[@allenwilson9656]

Goat 🐐 would definitely be on my bucket list great job guys Edit: I'm gonna guess 33 3/4 " on the spread

[@deansnelling7543]

On Big island we just measure length of horn

[@sticksstrings9792]

That's a good billy for hawaii, what's the length of the horn(not width)? Like pigs the difference in the hair is because of domestic cross breeding. Goats and pigs as well as sheep were introduced a 100 years before axis. There are pure untouched goats from genetics that were from goats dropped off over two hundred years ago, sheep that crossed genetics of feral and mouflon making for trophy rams and pigs with tusk that curl over, axis are at the bottom for me but ill be curious to see what you end up thinking. Blessed opportunity here, good luck!

[@danmyers7924]

Beautiful place to hunt. Cool looking horns on that billy. Would look good on the wall.

[@gethushin]

I’m getting him euro mounted

[@joshpalmeira1951]

[@davecarr4070]

Totally cool!!!

[@wcwcgarner2717]

Nice hunt. Good shot with your bow. I would hunt axis with my bow.

[@gethushin]

Solid choice 👊🏼 and thank you!

[@jakeboss2653]

Those goats definitely have bigger beards than me, beard envy lol I've always dreamt of going to New Zealand and hunting feral goats, red stag an tahr, I didn't know there were feral goats in Hawaii, might be a little cheaper than traveling to New Zealand. I think i would prefer feral goat hunting in Hawaii than axis deer, since i could go to Texas and hunt axis deer, but then I don't know what the population of axis deer is like in Texas, if it's more difficult, maybe more things to consider, there seems to be more than enough in Hawaii

[@gethushin]

Lol, he’s got you beat! It sure is a fun hunt no matter what species you chose. But one thing with the goats is you will see and get more opportunities then axis. They are super fun to stalk with a bow 🏹

[@evilcanofdrpepper]

Wow, I never realized it before but hunting videos are kind of like ASMR for manly men with all that whispering and wind.

[@lancecantrell9847]

Would prefer axis deer but I take one of each. Throw in some wild beef too.

[@gethushin]

Right? Perfect answer

[@prestonantonio7373]

I would love to hunt a big billy like that🤙💯

[@elktough777]

Definitely axis but would definitely like to hunt all three. Can you hunt the wild cows too? Wild beef would be cool

[@terrybyrd4386]

Deer hunting and pheasants for me.

[@gethushin]

There is so many pheasants out there

[@nareshclark8916]

It seems like a bit of a shame that all the meat off them was wasted. We have them down here in NZ in huge numbers, and I usually take a couple larger ones every year for the freezer. They taste great, somewhere in-between lamb and venison, very lean ofc.

[@robydoan3961]

How did that goat eat Eric? I didn't see any meat on the packs.

[@stoob808]

If theyre that concerned with the goats tearing up their land, theres a lot of us local boys more than happy to come take care of them. We will take the meat too, not just the heads lol.

[@juliebaker6969]

I get THAT. When he asked what you'd rather shoot I said cows, more meat. In fact I was thinking that since there is no season or limit, someone with drive and determination could make a pretty good business out of selling mail order game meat. That stuff sells for BANK on the internet. Another thing someone could do is set up a business as a guide for trophy hunters. Any extra meat they don't want can be donated to food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and family and neighbors that need help. Wild game is a great organic source for pork beef, and goat meat in the area. Any business minded, or even charity minded, person could really make a dent in the feral game populations if they had a mind to, and help the island to boot. Unfortunately I'm too old and disabled (and far away) to do something like that myself, but it's a great idea and SOMEONE (many someones?) should take advantage of it.

[@stoob808]

@@juliebaker6969 People here just dont want to eat goats. Theyve had bad experiences eating them or just cant handle the taste. Honestly wouldnt be surprised if Nick told em keep the heads and toss the meat, cause thats what most do.

[@juliebaker6969]

@@stoob808 hasn't anyone there heard of gyros? That's goat, and absolutely fabulous. Maybe the problem is that they're seasoning the meat wrong. Goat goes great with Greek and middle eastern seasonings, their seasoning mixes were created for goat meat. And don't eat the bucks, they DO taste bad, testosterone taints the meat. Try eating the does and kids, that's the best meat. Besides, you could STILL sell goat meat (not the bucks of course) as game meat online. And the bucks make great dog food, so there's never any excuse to waste meat. If nothing else, sell or give the meat to the zoo to feed their carnivores. I'm sure they would LOVE a cheap source of organic carnivore food. You just gotta learn to think outside the box. Don't dwell on why it WON'T work, look for how it CAN work. Stop looking at the glass as half empty, and start seeing it as completely full, half water, half air.
