On a recent trip to Hawaii, I hunted with Pat Fisher for Hawaiian Black Sheep, Spanish Goat, Hawaiian Ibex Goat, and Polynesian Boar. Pat is definitely one of the best guides that I have ever hunted with. He is very knowledgeable of the animals and their habitat and knows where to find them. If you are planning a hunt in Hawaii, go with Pat and you won't be disappointed. The next time I come to Hawaii, I'll definitely be hunting with Pat Fisher. Dale Shughart, Jersey Shore, PA.

I've hunted around the world and this was by far the most exciting hunt I have ever been on. My wife and I went to the Big Island for our 10 year wedding anniversary and I got approval from the boss for a one day hunt during our stay. I met up with Pat very early one morning and we hunted a ranch near Kona for Black Hawaiian Sheep. After a lot of walking, I finally got the nod from Pat and I connected on a nice ram. Soon we were off to the southern part of the island for a Hawaiian Ibex. Again, success! Pat is an extremely knowledgeable guide, as well as one of the most down to earth nice guys you will ever meet. And the scenery....spectacular! I can't wait to go back and hunt a big Spanish Goat. See you in 2013 Pat!

I have hunted many places in Hawaii, I have hunted goats, pigs, and axis deer, but the best and most enjoyed hunt I have ever been on was with Pat Fisher for trophy black hawaiian sheep. There was an abundance of game to view on our hunt and many interesting facts and stories told by Pat. I would recommend hunting with Pat to anyone, it doesn't matter if you're a novice or a professional, young or old, man or woman, you will have a great time having your Hawaiian hunting adventure guided by Pat Fisher.

Hunting in Hawaii with Pat is the hunting experience we dream about and wish we could experience with all outfitters. Pat is an excellent professional and a great guy. Pat knows the wildlife and their habitat. All our hunting is done in a 100% fair chase game-rich environment.
We went after Spanish goats on our first hunt. The morning hunt was one of those beautiful days that we will remember forever. The weather was perfect and we were high in the hills overlooking the ocean. Groups of goats could be seen grazing hilltops. We did two sneaks on a small group, trying to maintain cover. We finally got into a good shooting position at about 200 yards where I shot a trophy goat. On our way back to the truck, we jumped a nice Polynesian boar that Dave shot. We tracked the boar to the area where the truck was parked. The boar jumped out of the tall grass and attacked the truck. Dave put him down for good with a final shot. The weather turned very bad for the afternoon hunt. The weather can change fast in Hawaii, just like most places. The goats do not like rain, so they were scarce. We thought the hunting was over, but Pat knew where to go. The goats hold up in lava tubes during rain, so Pat took us to a big lava tube where the goats came boiling out. Dave shot a great trophy Billy. We were hooked on hunting in Hawaii with Pat.
On our next hunt we decided to hunt turkeys in the morning and Ibex in the afternoon. Pat set us up on a turkey stand before light. The birds were gobbling as the sun came up. Pat called in several Toms and Dave took one with a 10 inch beard. After a few minutes, Pat called in another Tom for me. We went after Ibex after a short break. As we worked our way down toward the ocean, we were spotting small groups of Ibex. A couple of nice Billy’s were spotted within about a hundred yards and Dave put down a good trophy with one shot. Another group was bedded and grazing in a tree thicket about half a mile below. We did a stalk and got into position on a huge Billy that was playing hard to get. Finally, I was able to get an excellent shot. Check out that trophy Ibex at the top of Pat’s web site.
We went after the Black Hawaiian sheep on our next hunt and did some turkey calling along the way. We were hunting high in the mountains southeast of Kona. Spotting a small group of sheep we did a stalk to within 50 yards of a nice ram. There is a lot of terrain and cover to use when doing a stalk. Fortunately, I put the ram down on the spot with one shot, or I would have taken a lot of heat. When looking for Dave’s sheep, we set up on some turkeys we heard gobbling. Pat called in a nice Tom to me from about 300 yards out. Later that afternoon, we spotted a group of sheep and did a stalk to within about a hundred yards. There was a huge ram in the group and Dave easily put him down. After processing, we were heading down for the day and decided to set up one more time for turkeys. Pat called in five Toms to Dave. That was an impressive sight and the end of a great day of hunting in paradise. We went looking for hogs on the next day. We went into the field before light and started seeing hogs just as we could barely see to shoot. Dave took aim at a nice hog in a group of two that were running at full speed. I know Dave is a great shot, but this shot really impressed me. The hog went down hard at about 150 yards with very little light. Not wanting to waste any time, we threw the hog in the truck and headed up the small dirt road higher into the mountains. All of a sudden a nice lone hog was spotted running at about 100 yards. I got into position for a shot, but couldn’t get on the pig. Finally, the hog got to the crest of a hill at about 200 yards and was silluetted on the horizon long enough for me to make a great one-shot kill. We all knew there was nothing beyond just in case I missed. We were down at the Hawaiian Style Café having breakfast by 9:30 AM.
We will be back with Pat. We still have more Hawaii hunting to do.

This was the second succesful Axis Deer hunt that I have had with Pat Fisher, and resulted in the harvesting of a 32" Axis Deer Buck shot at 293 yards. After approximately four hours of glassing and stalking, Pat spotted a large bedded down Axis buck over a ravine at 300 yards. He pointed out the location, but due to the numerous branches and heavy cover, I could not make out the location where the buck was bedded down.
I got into shooting position and still had difficulty finding the animal. He said he would call the Buck, and hopefully the deer would stand up. He called and the deer stood up and presented himself to a perfect broadside shot. The shot was made and we found the animal, approximately twenty yards from where he was hit.
All four hunters from our party bagged excellent trophies in two days, in a most enjoyable hunt.

It’s easy to get used to Hawaii. Ask any of the nearly 5 million tourists who visit the islands each year. Crashing waves, long waterfalls that run in ribbons into the sea, lava flows and bikinis, Kona coffee and mai-tais on the lanai. And folks wear board shorts and flip flops in the finest restaurants.
But there’s another side. A Hawaii that runs to camouflage, strategy and the challenge of taking a trophy from the brutal lava.
We crawled on our bellies to the top of the hill and parted the grass with our hands. We were close now, could smell them on the wind. There. A female goat fed out of the canyon below us, a tan-colored animal whose coat matched the color of the volcanic soil.
A long line of goats emerged from a fold in the hills 500 yards away. All rams, with either the flared horns of the typical Spanish goat or the swept back horns of the Hawaiian ibex.
When we caught up, they had bedded beneath kiawe trees in the midday heat. We could see the tops of their horns above the grass and a sentinel or two on the hilltops that stood to keep watch.
There were two rams we’d had our eyes on. One was a tan Hawaiian ibex with very long horns. The other was a black-coated goat with a freak horn damaged in some fall or fight.
And the goats began to move, a shifting mass of black and tan in the kiawe trees. Horns clanked together, goats ran into each other and rocks rolled under hooves. I lost track of the tan ibex. They were all tan and they were all moving, running now, full-tilt. Fisher whispered, “There’s the black crazy-horn.”
I had him in the scope, swung and put the crosshair on the tip of his shoulder. A split-second decision and three-pounds of pressure on the trigger.
That night there was the clink of ice cubes, a breeze that soughed in the palm trees and waves that crashed on the shoreline. Downstairs, on the verandah of the Outrigger Hotel, a three-piece band played while girls in grass skirts swayed to the sounds of Hawaii.
But there are other sounds: the bleat of wild goats, the squeal of the Polynesian boar, the bark of the axis deer and the gobble of the wild turkey. Sounds the tourist doesn’t hear, unless he trades board shorts for camo, flip-flops for Danners and a camera for a rifle.

I have hunted big game in many places with guides and outfitters. I recently had the pleasure of hunting with Pat Fisher of Hawaii Safaris on Kona, Hawaii. Of all my adventures, my hunt with Pat will always be remembered as one of the very best. My goal was to hunt a Vancouver Bull. Pat was successful in guiding me to the trophy bull of a lifetime. What a great hunt! Pat works very hard but most important, he is an experienced, serious hunter and a man I respect. I will be hunting with Pat again real soon.
