Hi Skeet...
The animals in Hawaii are all introduced and the environmentalists here want to return the islands to a Pre-contact (meaning western contact in some cases, polynesian contact in others.)
You have members of the USFWS also parroting this garbage as well. I say garbage, because they think that evolution has stopped with them.
Canada Geese have come to Hawaii and some have nested. Good deal right? Nope, they will destroy the eggs or babies so that they don't breed with the Nene. Now, I ask you, is this right? They say that what is endemic or indigenous, got here without the aid of man. Well hello... how did the goose get here.... wasn't on a 757 for sure.
We had a sealion arrive here... on its own.. but would they leave it alone? Nope... drug its tail back to Kalifornia...
This is a much longer topic than can be had in this little thread..
There is some private hunting in Hawaii at pretty reasonable prices on Molokai, Lanai, and Big Island for goats, sheep, and deer.
Aloha...
