Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – June 25, 2019 <br /> <br />IC: It’s not – each island is so much different. <br /> <br />NP: Yes. <br /> <br />IC: I mean Oahu cannot treat their game the same way we treat our game so this <br />is gonna be our county GMP. <br /> <br />JO: Big Island Game Management Plan... <br /> <br />IC: And so after we have a chance to just – I want to see what they wrote, you <br />know, and everything else and then we can add in stuff that we’re trying to <br />fight for or jostle for and just tweak it and then it’ll be like OK so we got this so <br />now let’s try keep it – wheels turning. <br /> <br />BKK: Mark – did you have question? <br /> <br />MC: Yes. Sorry for just coming and jumping in here. Quick question I had. With <br />this game management you guys been working on – what type of things are <br />you looking at on making these decisions on game management – like what <br />is the criterias you guys been looking at. <br /> <br />IC: Well, and this is where it gets confusing with the whole land designation. <br />Some land designations have set criteria for how they’re supposed to be <br />managed. So it’s – that’s where, I think, for us it’s tricky – it’s like when we <br />talk about populating areas with game and stuff and trying to manage game <br />populations – the only place that we have the freedom to totally do that right <br />now is in GMAs and you guys know there’s two cooperatives and one GMA in <br />Puuanahulu. But that’s part of it and part of that conversation for me and I’ve <br />said this to people above me is I think we need to start off with a set of rules <br />for GMAs cause right now we get a lot of push back for not being able to do <br />things we want in GMAs which are in our minds is designed to manage game, <br />right, in – hence in the name. So that’s where we’d want to, you know, do <br />exactly – it’s kinda much like where you’re saying in finding a carrying <br />capacity in these GMAs for a suitable amount of animals that are not gonna <br />be detrimental to the environment but yet provide for a hunting experience. <br /> <br />TN: Mark, we’re gonna do a game management plan and then your questions if <br />you could hold up for this because we want your mana’o on our game <br />management plan and that’s why I asked Bronsten to go up there so can you <br />save your question for us because we’re gonna do home rule. <br /> <br />MC: Thank you. <br /> <br />BKK: Is there any other questions from the commissioners for Ian? <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br /> <br />
