The Hawai’i Department of Land and Natural Resources will start taking applications for the 2025 Lānaʻi mouflon sheep hunting season on March 31.

According to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, in line with previous years, Lānaʻi’s mouflon sheep season will consist of four hunts — an archery hunt, a youth hunt, a muzzleloader hunt and a general rifle hunt.

All four hunts may be subject to a lottery drawing. Depending on application levels, standby hunting opportunities may be offered for the general rifle season. Dates on the department’s website have the hunts taking place from July 16 to Oct. 12.

If application numbers are higher or lower than anticipated for the general rifle season, one or more weekends may be added or eliminated.
