Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 14, 2020 ?: So you went college and all that... MRH: It’s intense study... ?: But what hunters that are hunters all their life and been on the land all their life they don’t know nothing... MRH: Sure they do. ?: No... MRH: Hunters are my friend, Bro – you don’t get it. ?: I not your Bro. MRH: I love hunters and I understand... ?: OK. Hold on. MRH: It is very important... NP: Yeah, Jaerick would like to... ?: Aloha everybody – thank you for... NP: Say your full name for the record. JMG: I know there’s solutions to everything, yeah, um, why not hold hunting tournaments and to try eliminate – if you saying it’s too much but to do a study for five years, um, it’s not that accurate the numbers. I think there is solutions instead of right away going to legislation. Try holding hunting tournaments to eliminate if there’s too much pigs. We also have pipi issues up there on the Mauna, you know, we also have DHHL not wanting people to hunt but they’re able to gather, you know. All these months couldn’t go up Mauna Kea – that might have been a problem. But that’s not our fault. It’s not the pigs’ fault. But there is solutions instead of just jumping putting language in legislation to just up and eliminate it that fast. Maybe some of the birds that is on the ground is not actually from here. Most birds that is from here usually up in the trees, so, you know, before, I see what you do, I see you up on the Mauna, I see you doing your planting and stuff like that but, yeah, yeah, there is solutions but this right here is where it starts – at the GMAC. Um, before, crazy and stuff like that, you know, firing back and forth. Now is the time, we have hunters here – we have everybody here – let’s just try and settle this that way, um, hunting tournaments to eliminate pigs, you know. 21
