Hawaiʻi hunting licenses, stamps begin to be issued June 15 for 2023-24 season

The Hawaiʻi State Department of Land and Natural Resources will begin issuing hunting licenses and stamps on June 15 for the new hunting season that runs July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

Community members can purchase their licenses and stamps online by visiting the state Division of Forestry and Wildlife hunting homepage or any branch office. Hunters also can purchase them at any authorized hunting license vendor.

A valid State of Hawaiʻi hunting license is required for hunting on public and private lands. Rule chapters and other hunting information can be found on the hunting homepage.

Hunters are encouraged to use the OuterSpatial mobile application for electronic hunter check-in and check-out and to purchase special tags and permits online. The application should be fully downloaded to your mobile device before entering the field to eliminate slow download speeds or “no service” areas.
