Planning a hunt in Hawaii
Begin with the island you intend to visit, then use Hawaii DLNR’s game management area information to find the relevant hunting area. Avoid carrying assumptions from one island or unit to another; terrain, access and area administration need to be checked for the specific destination.
Keep the official unit map and current hunt information with your trip plan. Confirm the entrance, land-manager contact and any applicable access arrangements before travel. A ridge or track visible in imagery does not show whether the approach crosses private land or is practical on foot.
Check the property and the route
Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.
Use with Free Hunting Map
Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.
View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
