The State’s 2022-2023 Game Bird Hunting Season opens on Saturday, November 5, 2022 and runs through Sunday, January 29, 2023.  Recreational hunting offers opportunities to engage with nature and practice responsible, sustainable, and safe use of our public and private lands and resources.

• A valid hunting license and a game bird stamp are required for all game bird hunting on public and private lands
• Landowner permission is required when seeking to hunt on private land
• Hunters should be familiar with Title 13, Chapter 122, Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules
• To comply with state and federal regulations, the last day for hunting mourning dove will be January 15, 2023
