Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting
<br />Minutes – March 21, 2016
<br />
<br />?: Mm…
<br />
<br />TL: You know, I think that, that commission, you know, it needs to get
<br />implemented in the worst way, actually, for a lot of these questions that we
<br />have and that DLNR take that commission and treat them as a partner
<br />rather than just some entity that’s, you know, giving you advice or trying,
<br />you know, say what their concerns are. Um, I think some of myself –
<br />maybe I’m speaking just for myself – ah, what I’d actually like to see that
<br />process get started sooner, ah, cause that commission’s gonna take a
<br />year to get going and we’ve actually been waiting since 2007 for this
<br />revision. 2014, no, 2016 right now – that’s the – not nine years – we don’t
<br />want to go another, you know, nine years and there’s a lot of those rules
<br />that need to be changed and, um, so, I don’t know if anybody else has
<br />comment, ah, as to that or what – yes, sir?
<br />
<br />?: Just let me think, um, didn’t we just finish a game rule revision – like we
<br />went through it for years and we just got it done like in the last couple of
<br />years, so…
<br />
<br />?: \[Unclear\]
<br />
<br />?: ….last year. OK. So, OK, so it’s junk – so we re-do it, but, I mean, it’s not
<br />like we have no \[unclear\] we did do a lot of \[unclear\].
<br />
<br />TL: No, you did not, actually, and I don’t mean to argue with you about…
<br />
<br />?: No, we did, actually. We just did it.
<br />
<br />TL: The whole idea of that was to get the money. Get the tags, get the money,
<br />get the licensing back in together. That was critical for you. You needed
<br />that $200,000 or $300,000 that you were getting from licenses and so
<br />forth and \[unclear\] this is the only thing that we’re focusing on and it…
<br />
<br />?: That’s not what happened. It got bogged down in years of making all kinds
<br />of other changes.
<br />
<br />TL: Yeah, but \[unclear\].
<br />
<br />?: There was lots and lots of changes in those rules and you know what?
<br />We’ll be glad to re-do it and it can be a continuous process, we’d be glad
<br />to fire that back up again – don’t have a problem with it – so, can we get a
<br />process where we can talk to the hunters and find out exactly what it is, I
<br />mean, we could start an informal conversation without having to go
<br />through, you know, formal meetings and stuff, so, if the hunters could get
