birds there was and I think they tested for 10 other pathogens and <br />sicknesses as well and they didn’t find anything. Could be, I mean, I’m open <br />to the idea of trying to maybe do a little more detail on that for game birds… <br /> <br />BL: Yeah, just cause like with all the other new pathogens that show up if you’re <br />not testing for it how do you know it’s there if nobody’s testing or looking. <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, that’s a good point. <br /> <br />BL: I mean, it might be able to explain the palila dropping too drastically in the <br />last year or two…I mean something’s obviously going on up there. <br /> <br />KS: If you could send me, I don’t know, articles or anything, information you <br />have about that I’d be interested in digging into it a little bit. <br /> <br />BL: OK. I’ll do some research – I know, I think it was last year on some of the <br />pages – the mainland bird hunters were talking about a new pathogen <br />hitting the grouse and dropping their populations. I’ll see if I can find it and <br />send it to you. <br /> <br />KS: OK. What’s keeping us from having any idea on it is we don’t have the <br />resources to do anything like that – like I said – it’s me and one other guy <br />and I would love to go out and find out why this and why that about all of <br />our game stuff, but we just trying to keep the roads clear and make sure you <br />guys can still go hunting for – at the very least. <br /> <br />BL: Brian – District 4, again. Hey any thought about getting ahold of some of the <br />people at the university and running by some of your ideas what you’d like <br />to see and see if any of the students would jump up on the idea and work in <br />concert with them during bird season either for blood test liver samples or <br />(unclear) things. <br /> <br />KS: That’s something to keep an eye out on, I do have two professors from BYU <br />are coming over. They get here Thursday and they’re the ones that are <br />helping me do the population counts at Puuwaawaa and Puuanahulu for <br />sheep and goats – we put out cameras and do camera traps but one of him <br />he did his Ph.D. on chukar research - so I’ve been kicking around some ideas <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
