State of Hawaii, NIC Hawaii launch new online services for hunter education, communication

Beginning today, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Hunter Education program's online tool, Go Hunt Hawaii, will debut new features, including a service for hunters who have graduated a basic hunter education class to enroll in advanced hunting events. The Go Hunt Hawaii service, developed in partnership with NIC Hawaii, can be accessed at https://gohunthawaii.ehawaii.gov/ .

"We are excited to launch these new features on Go Hunt Hawaii," said Darren Ogura, Acting Manager for the Hawaii Hunter Education Program. "This will enable us to help expand hunting education in Hawaii and help us communicate better with our hunters."

Events provide opportunities for hunters to continue their hunter education at a more advanced level. The agency will also have the ability to create class announcements, event announcements and general hunting announcements which help the agency provide up-to-date information to hunters.

The DLNR Go Hunt Hawaii service was created in partnership with NIC Hawaii, a division of digital government solutions firm NIC Inc., and manager of eHawaii.gov.
