Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 25, 2019 MC: Up Pohakuloa... AA: \[Unclear\] work with like the bird hunters and kind of establish more bird hunting areas? It’s with Pohakuloa Training Area. MC: Yes, Pohakuloa Training Area AA: It’s still with the military? MC: I would actually love to do more projects with them. Right now we’re actually down at the airport – Hilo Airport? We’d love to do more projects with the military – like that... AA: Basically because you already got your foot in the door on one side – so you guys already kinda get talks to go to the next step or you guys just still down there yet? MC: Still down there yet. Trust me I’ve been trying to knock on every door possible – trying to let everybody know to utilize these animals and I gotta say it hasn’t really caught on yet – even though they utilize it a lot on the mainland – it hasn’t caught on in the state yet and I’m hoping that I can bring this to more people \[mic off\]. MC: And have us use \[mic not on\] like I’ll actually put my goats and sheep right in the middle of this highways in the medians. TN: I guess what he’s asking is have you done a proposal for your project to be up at Pohakuloa and have you approached them? It’s a yes or no. MC: We had a project they called us upon to look at and that project fell through and so far there’s no other projects that popped up with them. TN: Thank you. SM: I like what you doing and stuff like that but as far as Pohakuloa, Mauna Kea hunting areas – I want them to bring back the animals for us – for hunting. You know what I mean – one outside entity come in to eat the grass cause kinda defeat the purpose – they killing all the goats and sheep there and then they going hire, you know, one private company to come in and take care of this kind of no make sense. 14
