This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent).DLNR's annual game-bird season announcements (2025-26 vintage; 2026-27 not yet located) consistently list only introduced upland species -- pheasant, quail, francolin, dove, wild turkey, chukar, and peafowl (Oahu) -- with no snipe category anywhere. This is an absence-of-mention inference across secondary aggregations, not a first-party DLNR quote saying so explicitly (WebFetch to dlnr.hawaii.gov was blocked this session), so confidence is lower than a direct agency statement -- flagged as such. Consistent with Hawaii having no regular snipe population/season historically.
