Cattle were first brought to Hawaii by Captain George Vancouver in 1793. The breed is not known, but they were believed to be of Spanish descent and probably resembled the longhorn, although there is evidence that they were black in color. King Kamehameha put a kapu on the animals that lasted almost 30 years. When the kapu was removed, the interior plain and three mountains of Hawaii were full of animals. The estimated cattle population on Hawaii in 1851 was 8,000 tame, and 12,000 wild animals. By 1904, 10,000 wild cattle were present on Mauna Kea.
Parker Ranch wild cattle are descendants of the animals introduced by Vancouver and others, and inhabit the forested areas of the Ranch. Bulls weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Hunting pressure makes them “wilder and smarter”, presenting a real challenge to the Parker Ranch wild cattle hunter.

works every time out at my families place. If that fails get a 5 gal bucket, put a few handfuls of cubes in it and combine the previous audible sounds with shaking of the bucket. Should have them runnin all over ya in no time.
