Archery hunting will open at the Puu Anahulu Game Management Area March 3, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Hunting season will continue on weekends and state holidays through June 30. Annual closure of the archery season will be from July through February.
The daily bag limit will be one pig of either sex, one male goat (billy), and one male sheep (ram) per hunter per day.
Hunters will need to obtain 2012 billy and ram tags to legally hunt in this area. Tags may be obtained from any Hawaii Island Division of Forestry and Wildlife office and a number of commercial vendors. They are free this year.
Hunters must be in possession of an unused 2012 ram or billy tag to continue hunting in the area. The harvest tags will not be transferable and must be placed through the hind leg of the animal immediately after each kill.
