The state proposes to allow licensed hunters to legally kill the deer without any bag or season limits. It's something that's in place on Maui and Molokai.

If the land board gives the nod on Friday, it will amount to a blanket permit to hunt deer on the Big Island.

"You have to have a license, and hunt in the day time. This doesn’t give you authority to hunt at night or without a license," said Conry.

And Conry says if you are going to hunt on private land, you still need to be licensed and need to have landowner's permission.

Conry expects some opposition from hunters who do not want to see axis deer eradicated.
