f lawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br /> Minutes—March 16,2015 <br /> If we're going to hunt 15 and 16, well we might want to open up the mauka <br /> so that we can get everyone spread out. Everyone has an opportunity and <br /> the animals just don't go from one Area to the other. <br /> Q: John, under the process it has "produce draft regulations within house." Is <br /> that going to be your own environmental department there or is that U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife will be involved in this? Have they signed off on this? <br /> A: No, Fish and Wildlife is not involved in the process. Yes, that refers to our <br /> environmental folks — it refers to the Command. We are looking at using <br /> MWR to help us facilitate the permit process and things like that so they'll <br /> need to weigh in on their end as well —the public affairs office—who, you <br /> know, we're utilizing to distribute information and things like that, so that's <br /> the in-house... <br /> Q: Will point of contacts be provided at that time and who are the players in <br /> this? <br /> A: Yes <br /> Q: Why not form the PTA hunting club first to see how much interest is out <br /> there? <br /> A: That's a great point. <br /> Q.: My name is Jason Imamura. A few years back PTA—the designation was <br /> PTA— Pohakuloa Training Area and game management. We heard a lot <br /> of talk about game management— can we do it? Cooperative game <br /> management—what is the designation right now for Pohakuloa Training <br /> Area. Is it Pohakuloa Training or is it Pohakuloa Training Area and game <br /> management? Cause that's how it was a few years ago. I know the Board <br /> —the DLNR wanted to change that designation — I don't know if that's <br /> been done — but if it hasn't—shouldn't be any problem with game <br /> management, watering units, and so forth. They were in place at one time. <br /> The state did maintain these watering units. All of a sudden it stopped. So <br /> what's the designation as of now? <br /> A: (BM): As far as what the state can bring to the table— I haven't been <br /> approached by them — right now James Weller has been the only one that <br /> has shown interest. Now we know that 1 thru 16 is state. What James is <br /> also talking about is coming on board in Keaaumoku and some of the <br /> other Army home properties, whether it's down in 20 or 22. Why DOFAW <br /> hasn't been out there on some of the older units I don't know— but I do <br /> know that they have been working on some of the newer turkey guzzlers <br /> and Steve Hurt and I —we've discussed this at length —we did an <br /> assessment. Steve knows more about that than 1, because I never started <br /> this game warden position actually until October of last year. So a lot of <br /> this may have to go back to the NRO office to find out where that broken <br /> link is at. So did I answer your question, sir? <br />
