"With the beef industry jacking up prices and putting the squeeze on ranchers, everyone at The Shawn Ryan Show has been eating a lot more Maui Nui. We especially love the Jerky Sticks and Always Summer Sausage. Delicious, high in protein, and easy to eat every day.
I’ve been eating Maui Nui wild-harvested axis venison for months. It makes me feel great, and Jake and his team have a mission I believe in: humanely harvesting Axis deer to restore balance to Maui’s ecosystem."

USDA-Approved, Stress-Free Harvesting
Every Maui Nui harvest happens at night, when deer are calm and unaware of our presence. Using advanced FLIR technology, our team can locate, inspect, and harvest each animal quickly and humanely—without baiting, fencing, or confinement of any kind. Our method is USDA-approved and inspected in real time. A federal inspector is present for every harvest, ensuring each animal is safe for human consumption.
Since wild venison is classified as exotic meat, we voluntarily cover these inspection costs ourselves, something conventional producers don’t have to do. The result is a process that’s not only ethical and precise, but one that helps honor the animal and the environment.

Purposeful Technology
We use FLIR infrared technology to locate Axis deer at night, quietly and without disruption. This allows us to harvest with accuracy while the animals remain completely unaware of our presence. When animals experience stress before harvest, their bodies release lactic acid, which affects both flavor and food safety. By removing that stress entirely, we protect the integrity of the meat. Exceptional tenderness. Remarkable taste. Unparalleled nutritional quality.
Why Venison?
A superior source of protein
Categorically superior to beef across every meaningful metric—from protein efficiency and fat composition to vitamins and minerals—venison is naturally lean, high in bioavailable nutrients, and free of disease and stress caused by confinement.
Venison’s impressive B-vitamin profile outperforms beef by wide margins.
Helping improve mitochondrial function, metabolic health, cognition, and detoxification, B-vitamins are essential to longevity and performance, of which venison is an excellent natural source.


“A wild Axis deer has a choice to eat exactly what it wants, moving through some of the most fertile slopes on the planet.”

Wild-Harvested Axis Venison from Maui
Axis venison is even better
Axis deer graze open grasslands and browse native and naturalized shrubs across Maui. This diverse forage—fed by rich volcanic soils—yields meat that is dense in micronutrients.
Independent laboratory analysis confirms the remarkable link between geography and nutrition. With nearly 22 grams of protein per 100 calories and superior levels of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, Axis venison from Maui contains naturally occurring creatine and omega-3 fatty acids at levels that exceed premium grass-fed beef.
