Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – May 14, 2019 <br /> <br /> And like Kanalu explained, I mean, you’re gonna be a part of the process – <br />it’s just that they’re cleaning up a few things in the plan and then they’re <br />gonna ask for your comments and I would suggest that once it’s shared with <br />the County GMAC then you guys share that with your constituents in each of <br />your districts for their comments. <br /> <br />NP: I would like to make a request when you guys are sitting down working on this <br />that as Palikapu mentioned and it’s been mentioned so many times before is <br />– would it include that there would be a count of the game animal in – say any <br />given area – a count that will be protected – that will... <br /> <br />SB: I think they have the game check-in stations that hunters supposed to be <br />checking in – is a voluntary process so the hunters need to go in it – sign in – <br />it’s for that reason. <br /> <br />NP: The count of the game animals... <br /> <br />SB: Yeah, it’s for that reason. <br /> <br />KS: That was one of the objectives that Mr. Hoeflinger had in that drafted game <br />management plan and, I mean, I wouldn’t remove that so – and we do it on <br />some levels for some species already – so, yes... <br /> <br />NP: And then maybe, um, habitat improvement could possibly be worked through <br />– change their rules and regulations somehow... <br /> <br />KS: Modifying habitat for game is something that would definitely require statutory <br />changes. <br /> <br />NP: Right, exactly. But it’s possible, right? <br /> <br />SM: Kanalu, Stanley... We need to provide, though, for these animals. These <br />animals especially in Puuanahulu/Puuwaawaa they getting sick – they no <br />more water. I haven’t seen the damage that, you know, when you guys come <br />and say, oh, they eating up the native plants – but I haven’t seen the damage <br />that you guys claim, I mean, the lama trees that growing there – the ohia – I <br />no see ‘em being, you know, de-barked or – they browse on ‘em but, you <br />know, I no see any damage as far as they – they mostly whacking the small <br />young grasses coming up but they need water cause they sick. Something <br />got to be done now to – it’s just like cruelty to animals what is happening. <br /> <br />GD: Who has the final approval for the game management plan that you’re gonna <br />put forth – is that DLNR itself, is it some other body – how does it get <br />approved? <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
