The Army is offering an opportunity for young hunters to hone their skills at the Pohakuloa Training Area this weekend.
Youths ages 10-15 are invited to participate in bow hunting of pigs, goats and sheep from 6 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Hunting will be open in the Humu‘ula Unit (training areas 1-4) and Menehune Unit (areas 5-6).
Adults can participate in a mentor capacity only and are not permitted to harvest any animals during this hunt. All youth hunters must have a valid state of Hawaii hunting license and be accompanied by an adult with a valid state hunting license.
Reservations will be taken by text message only from noon today through noon Friday. Text the youth hunter’s name, hunting license number and preferred day (Saturday or Sunday) to 315-1545.
One reservation per youth hunter will be permitted. A maximum of 20 youth hunters will be allowed each day. Call the PTA game warden at 798-6944 to check on additional availability after 2 p.m. Friday.
Hunters who are registered with the PTA iSportsman service can check in and out, and report their harvest online at https://pta.isportsman.net. Those not registered in iSportsman must check in and out at the Army’s check-in station at Old Saddle Road Gate, across from the Mauna Kea State Park entrance.
