I really enjoy your videos, in terms of both quality and content. I am a former wildlife technician and biologist and appreciate your messaging. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Good to see you guys @ Puu WaaWaa...I used to go there for birds in the late 80's and early 90's, if you see any 12 ga. Fiocchi hulls laying around, they are probably mine. I never saw any sheep or goats in those days, we used to go in the back, behind the puu and where the mountain gets steep. Tough country, my dogs had plenty workout there. They used to rest up till about thursday after a Saturday hunt there. We used to drive over from Hilo. Mr. Branco was the state game guy in those days. Good company, good sportsmanship...aloha to you guys.

[@MrRickyrecon]

You got some great shots! Like a wildlife documentary!

[@koabaldonado5536]

Nice ram!! How big was um??

[@southboundeightyone4958]

Forgive my ignorance, but are these mouflon sheep? I know Hawaii has mouflon but is that the only type on the island or are there others, just curious?

I like the ewe with radio collar and ear tag.

Excellent video as always!! Great ethics of harvesting the 'right' animal (wounded and old)!

[@billferqueron2673]

Good afternoon from Oklahoma Ryan. As always, great video. Question from someone who has never been to Hawaii...do you guys ever run into any venomous snakes out there while running around?

[@ryankohatsu8836]

hawaii has no venomous snakes afield here.

Soo cool, mahaloz for sharing

[@Sherman.Richards]

Aye that’s the hunting class teacher ah lol

[@kennyk9427]

Too much Batu that sheep. Missing all the teeth

[@Pokelemon3434]

It’s because of their home bud? The sand and rock is ruff on their teeth and they don’t exactly bite their food off at the roots
