The boars are probably descendants of the pigs brought by Polynesian settlers, while the deer were introduced from Oregon in 1961 by the Hawaii Fish and Game division. That makes sense, right? There aren't enough animals to hunt on this island paradise--let's bring some from elsewhere! I'm not against hunting or fishing, but the idea of stocking the wilderness with animals to kill seems patently absurd to me.
