The Ranch is managed for trophy Axis Deer hunting. Most of our clients are experienced bow hunters, but even inexperienced hunters have had successful hunts. Our deer range on the highest quality forage in the Hawaiian islands and this is reflected in both size and antler growth. The terrain is challenging with kiawe (mesquite) forest and giant panini cactus cover. Deer are plentiful and the herd is selectively hunted to provide a high buck to doe ratio. The hunting area of the Ranch consists of approximately 1000 acres.

  
Arrow One Ranch is operated by Jeff Grundhauser and David Kahoe, avid bow hunters and experienced hunting guides registered with the State of Hawaii. We hunt from blinds, stands and spot and stalk depending on conditions and hunter ability. Axis deer breed year round, so there are always bucks in hard antler. Most of the deer grow antler from December through April. Bucks generally rut from May to August. Axis deer are similar to elk as they scream or call when rutting.

"Jeff Grundhauser and David Kahoe have created a paradise within a paradise with their hunting operation at Arrow One Ranch on Maui. The abundant axis deer and mouflan-cross sheep offer plenty of bowhunting thrills in an environment that challenges the best still hunting and stalking skills. The sheep I took on a windy morning with Jeff hangs on the wall of my office as a constant reminder of a great Aloha state hunt. Jeff and David are not only good bowhunters themselves, but great guys who are a pleasure to be around. I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to get back to the slopes near Kula."
