Hunting in Hawaii is pretty diverse, with year round seasons for some animals, regulated seasons for others in specific areas/islands.
The most popular hunting is for pigs, usually with dogs or traps or snares in urban areas where they have now started to infiltrate. Goats are another year round, in many areas, animal that can be hunted, as are sheep.
Axis deer on Molokai and Maui are hunted relentlessly. On Lanai they are hunted by lottery, 1 day hunt per year, one animal usually either sex, and some wonder why we seem unimpressed with much of the arguments here about shortened seasons, this and that, we get one day and still love the hunt. Kauai has the most liberal deer hunting for blacktail deer in the islands. You can actually have several cracks at deer on Kauai during the year, but its not a gallery shoot by any means.
We have two types of sheep in Hawaii, feral wooley sheep and the mouflon. The feral have horns that can get quite impressive and extend outwards in corkscrew fashion, and the mouflon develops large horns as well in Big Horn Fasion (same genus). Compared to your mainland Big Horn sheep of ANY variety, the Mouflon is quite a bit smaller, but still very nice rack.
Most all of my hunting is for sheep or pigs in open areas at home, and deer and goats away from home. I do a lot of archery hunting at home, and muzzleloader away from home mostly.
Turkeys are popular for a few during the spring where they have 45 days straight with up to three tags from March 1 to April 14th.
