My love for the outdoors was inherited from my father who took me everywhere to fish and hunt since I was 7 years old. He took me to places on Oa’hu, Lana’i, Moloka’i, Kaua’i, Island of Hawai’I, Mexico and the Philippines. My father was patient, fearless, a competitive marksman and was very resourceful. He taught anyone who wanted to learn how to fish or hunt, and took them along in the field to experience firsthand what hunting and fishing was about. Pops showed them every step of the way, never judged anyone for their skill levels.
In 2004, my father passed away and left me with his most priceless collection of knowledge and love for the outdoors.
Growing up in Hawaii fishing and hunting was a lifestyle for our family. We never took more than we needed, and we took care of our a’ina (land) from mauka (mountain) to makai (ocean).
Hook You Up Outfitters is service oriented from meeting and greeting you at the airport, in the field or on the ocean, and insures your comfort and safety.
We want you to experience the best Hawaiian eco-adventure with indelible memories.

Axis deer or Chital deer is one of the most popular game mammals to hunt in Hawaii. If you want an extreme challenge, Axis deer hunting is the way to go. They can see, hear and sense you from a distance, and will run circles around you.
In the 1860s, Axis deer were introduced to the island of Molokai, Hawaii as a gift from Hong Kong to King Kamehameha V. The deer were introduced to Lanai, another of the Hawaiian Islands, soon afterward and are now plentiful on both islands. These animals are very clean and do not have fleas or ticks. Studies have shown that they have never been found with diseases that threatened their species. They have also been found to heal themselves from bullet wounds and injuries. The Axis deer known for their beautiful white spotted cape and dark colored horns make the deer popular game to hunt in Hawaii. In the culinary world, Axis deer is popular for its high quality meat, and raised in Florida and Texas.
HOW GOOD IS THE AXIS DEER HUNTING?: We measure our success based on the opportunity we provide our hunters at game that is in range and a reasonable shot for them to take. You can figure that the average hunter will encounter around 8 shooter Axis bucks during a one day hunt. This does not mean that you will see 8 shooters on your hunt and we do not guarantee the amount of game that you will see. It simply means this is the average per hunter. Some hunters will see 12 shooter bucks or more, some 4, and on a rare occasion 1 or none. However the average during the season is around 8 shooter bucks per hunt. Hunters may see 30-50 Axis deer during their 1 day hunt. HOWEVER SOME OF OUR HUNTERS MAY ENCOUNTER 400 or more axis deer during their hunt! Hunters physical condition and ability can also factor in the amount of deer they will see and what they harvest. Make no mistake you have an excellent chance at harvesting a great Axis deer. You are allows to harvest 1 buck and 1 doe. Antler size (length of the longest main beam) range from 20" to 36" or more!
Hunting Method: We hunt Axis deer from a treestand, ground blind, or spot stalk method--whichever you prefer or based on your capability.
98% Track Record! Save time and money on a 1 day hunt! No hunter we have booked in the history of Hook You Up Outfitters has EVER went home without an opportunity in bow or rifle range on their Axis deer hunt. You can book a 2 day hunt if you like, but every hunter so far has harvested what they are looking for on the first day.

Molokai’s rugged terrain is home for a few different species of goats which originated from Southeast Asia and Europe. In the early 1700’s, goats were transported off the Spaniards shipwrecked boats off the coast of Hawaii and other species brought in by Westerners. Like the pigs, these Spanish goats were all domesticated at one time. Through the years, they have adapted to different environments around Hawaii. There are over 300 species of goats in world today, and they continue to evolve depending on their environment. On Molokai, these wild goats have genetically blended into a few different shapes of trophies. Some of these goats throw horns better known as ibex goats, and others carry more of the wide twisted turns. The black Hawaiian goat also makes a great hunting adventure and a beautiful addition to your trophy list. There are NO trophy fees for this hunt.

The Hawaiian Islands are known for their beautiful lush forest with an abundance of Hawaiian exotic plants and animals. The forest has also been a home for a few different species of wild boar. History has been told that the pua’a or pig was brought to Hawaii by Captain Cook, as a walking food substance for their journey in the late 1700’s. Through the years, these pigs have been genetically altered by breeding with other species that were introduced to the islands. In the past, the pigs caught show some of these different genetic traits. Wild pigs cause extreme damage to Hawaii’s rainforest eco-system. Hunters help keep the wild pig population under control by eradication. We offer some of the best hog hunting in the Hawaiian Islands. All of these hunts take place on private land (cattle ranches). We hunt hogs from a treestand, ground blind, or spot stalk method--whichever you prefer or based on your capability.

This does not mean that you will see 6 hogs on your hunt and we do not guarantee the amount of game that you will see. It simply means this is the average per hunter. Some hunters will see 12 or more, some 8, some 4, and on a rare occasion 1 or none. However the average during the season is around 6 hogs per hunt.
