Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – October 29, 2019 <br />verbatim communication I get sometimes from the leadership of the <br />Department is Ryan, how about we just open up all the areas for your guys, <br />you guys go kill what you want – whatever, every day, you know, guns <br />blazing, and you guys would be happier if we do that – literally – like I’m not <br />kidding you guys – it’s literal from the DOFAW administrators so, um, <br />obviously, maybe he’s doing it on purpose – right? He’s not a dumb guy - <br />maybe he’s saying it on purpose just that he knows there’s a few people that <br />would bite on that – but, um, all I’m saying is that’s how it’s viewed on Oahu <br />and having the Big Island interests or that’s showing, that, eh? It’s very <br />different over here or something like that – can’t hurt, you know, \[unclear\] hurt <br />right now but... <br /> <br />NP: If they really think that the hunters on the Big Island think like that then they <br />haven’t read any of our emails... they haven’t read any of our letters... they <br />haven’t paid attention to anything we’ve ever said for years and years. <br /> <br />RK: Right, even for the folks in the public, you know, in the process of some of <br />these things that we’ve been doing – I noticed that the Oahu leadership – <br />they’ll gravitate toward folks that share the same idea, so, you know, if there’s <br />one guy on Big Island that wants to go be an eradicator – want to go kill <br />whatever they want on the public hunting areas and stuff – just know that that <br />person is gonna – they’re gonna give him a voice and they’re gonna try to <br />push that agenda so,you know...you guys got friends or whatever – let them <br />know that it’s not helping. <br /> <br />NP: We’re gonna talk more about that. Would you say your name? <br /> <br />GM: My name is Jerrik Medeiros Gracio – I reside in Pepeekeo. Question. When is <br />the GMAC hearing for the State for our Island? Do you guys hold a meeting <br />like this? <br /> <br />NP: Only on Oahu. <br /> <br />RK: It’s all on Oahu. We did one on Big Island though – I don‘t know when that <br />was. <br /> <br />GM: With our GMAC county members here will they be able to help us get back to <br />home rule – to eliminate central Oahu from making our decisions on our <br />hunting and fishing grounds. <br /> <br />NP: Home Rule would be good. <br /> <br />GM: Would be awesome. You’d probably in charge of it, you know.... <br /> <br />RK: DLNR land... <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
