Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – June 25, 2019 <br /> <br />IC: ....the only way if there was like a big boost in the population of goats or sheep <br />there to do more control – or more hunting would be a special hunt. That’s the <br />venue. <br /> <br />TN: Thank you, Ian. Every time you speak – because this is being written by the <br />secretary – you’ve got to say your name. <br /> <br />SM: The rules and regs are done at the Legislature, right? They make the – you <br />gotta go to them for bag limits, hunting seasons and all that, right? <br /> <br />IC: I apologize Stanley – I’m not too – I’m a little bit new at this... <br /> <br />SM: Rule change... <br /> <br />IC: ....forty-two steps was what I was told last time and I don’t know if it’s actually <br />to the ledge – we draft rules changes and it has to go through a bunch of steps <br />and the final steps to be approved by the Board. <br /> <br /> But it has to go through like the Board of Tourism and back... <br /> <br />IC: There are a bunch of steps and I actually have that written somewhere I can <br />forward that to you guys. <br /> <br />SM: So basically, one hands on biologist cannot just go and change the bag limit – <br />you gotta get ‘em – until that rules change – until we can change that to make <br />it so that the Department can do it on their own – we gotta live with, yeah, we <br />gotta live with that... <br /> <br />IC: That’s correct – that – what said. But we’re working on some stuff like to try to <br />put verbiage in there where we could work that out – right now we use special <br />hunts like if there’s too many or if it’s perceived as too many goats in <br />Puuanahulu or whatever – we just hold more special hunts. That’s the way we <br />do it now. I hate to be on the record – but it’s kind of a loophole – it’s not the <br />direct way to do it – but the direct way if people know is seven years for the <br />last rules change was long process. The only other way is to change the way <br />we change our rules – the statute that lets us change our rules so that we <br />could quicken the process. <br /> <br />TN: I’m confused. There’s eradication. <br /> <br />IC: Did I say eradication. Yeah, I mean, how does rules for hunter differ from <br />DLNR or doing eradication? Do they... <br /> <br />SM: Court order mandate they gotta... <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br /> <br />
