Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 14, 2020 <br />DOFAW West Hawaii Wildlife Biologist, Kanalu Sproat, Game Bird Harvest <br /> <br />KS: So my presentation is the game bird surveys that we started as our Admin <br />kind of developed for us and we started last year – so it’s kind of the <br />preliminary results of our surveys starting in the fall of 2018. You didn’t get it <br />at all? <br /> <br />?: I didn’t get a phone call or... <br /> <br />KS: I emailed it to you like lunch time. I can try again right now if that works – if <br />not – I have some handouts... <br /> <br />?: I can try... <br /> <br />TN: Kanalu is there a PowerPoint presentation? <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, we’re working it out right now... <br /> <br />TN: Thanks. <br /> <br />NP: Apologies... <br /> <br />KS: So just watch – hopefully he’s able to upload that presentation. It’s a little bit <br />of background. Our administration – so Shaya was our Game Program <br />Coordinator at the time so she’s – she left back in the fall – but she had <br />developed a survey protocol for us to test using – comparing – so they were <br />comparing between doing game bird surveys or transects without dogs so just <br />walking and flushing birds as you walked and recording that information and <br />then also using hunting dogs – so volunteer hunters with their dogs walking a <br />transect and flushing birds and counting birds that way and so this preliminary <br />results of that program so we started – actually the first trials did in March <br />2018 in Kapapala it’s Ian guys and then we did kind of a full blown between <br />Kapapala and Mauna Kea in the fall of 2018 we did a follow-up in the spring <br />after the season was finished so in fall before the bird season and then spring <br />after bird season and then we did it again this last fall but this presentation <br />today is just the results of the first fall 2018 and spring 2019 surveys. It was a <br />comparison between doing surveys with the dog or without a dog. And so <br />hopefully she can get the presentation, if not I have a few handouts I can give <br />to you guys and we can just kinda talk story about the results a little bit. So <br />we’ll give it a minute. <br /> <br />TN: Kanalu, Teresa here in Kona. <br /> <br />KS: Hi... <br /> <br />TN: Where’s Kapapala? <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
