Maui Nui Venison
We are huge fans of Maui Nui Venison. You can support a small Maui business and help control our invasive population of axis deer while eating the healthiest red meat on the planet.
Maui Nui Venison believes that striving to be in balance with nature supports abundance for all. By actively managing Hawaiʻi’s Axis deer populations as a food resource, we hope to inspire more place-based solutions that focus on the health of our environment, and by extension, the health of the communities and systems that it sustains.
Axis deer were introduced in 1868 to the island of Molokaʻi by King Kamehameha V, this unique species of deer started out as a group of eight. Today, there are over 100,000. While it might seem like a thriving deer presence in Hawaiʻi could be a good thing, these population booms are occurring on islands with very finite resources.
We carry the super tasty venison sticks here on Whaler's Locker. However, you can get cuts of lean meat, curated boxes, bone broth, and much more on their site. Be sure to check it out and support them. Small businesses are the heart of Maui. Help support our family businesses and our ecological health.
