<br />KS: There is chucker hunting above the tree line. I think the idea behind the safety above tree line is that <br />there’s much more visibility and so people can be much more sure about their shots. <br /> <br />RD: OK. And then, um, PTA. You said there’s way too much mammals. Do we know what that means? <br /> <br />KS: Oh, like is there a population estimate? I have no idea but I don’t, I mean, as I drive by PTA and I look <br />PTA side of the road and DOFAW side of the road, the PTA side looks like a wasteland and you see <br />sheep all over the place and they themselves have approached us with some questions about how <br />we can help reduce the numbers over there but as far as like numbers, we don’t, I don’t know how <br />many there are. I have no idea. <br /> <br />RD: OK. And then how about the 4 pig limit. Are any hunters gonna get 4 pigs in day, I mean, is there that <br />many pigs or, if they get lucky and they run across 4 pigs that it’s gonna be OK or... <br /> <br />KS: I don’t think it’s… Oh, go ahead sorry? <br /> <br />RS: Is there that many pigs up there? <br /> <br />KS: Oh, there’s, I would say that if somebody runs across 4 pigs in a day while they’re hunting they’re <br />probably gonna be pretty lucky, especially 4 pigs that they’ll want to harvest. I think we were trying <br />to match – if I’m wrong on this – I’m sorry – I think we were trying to match what is proposed for the <br />changes at Unit I and Unit D. And so we’re just trying to match what they’re doing as well. <br /> <br />RD: OK. Thank you. <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, no problem. <br /> <br />AA: Abraham – District 5. Yeah, Robert, I think that’s pretty much what they’re trying to do is just match <br />it right across the board because we, because they raised the bag limits in that Unit I here – Unit I, <br />Unit D area in lower Puna then they’re trying to just do a straight patch across the board. <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, just trying to be consistent. <br /> <br />AA: Yeah. But as far as up in that area I not – like Kanalu said – the pigs that they might actually get is not <br />– a majority of them is not gonna be worth harvesting – like they might shoot whatever running in <br />front of them but the amount to actually take home of that number going real low – lucky if they get <br />one – and extremely lucky if they get two. OK. Anybody else have any more questions or comments <br />for Kanalu? <br /> <br />BL: Brian Ley – District 4. <br /> <br />AA: Yeah. <br /> <br />BL: Just popped up, again, hey, I know we discussed this before – can we re-look the idea of transferring <br />these animals from one game unit to another. I know they just \[unclear\] with PTA is the, ah, you <br />know, they’re doing a lot of training so we’re not able to get in there and hunt very often. Is there <br />some way we can do like they did with the goats on the state land – we grab a whole bunch of these <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
