SW: Because they’re the ones that have to deal with – if there’s any hunting grounds within the <br />County – it would be through Parks. I’m just saying if you – GMAC is a county entity and if we’re <br />looking at setting up a County, um, you’re talking about like a certification program – Parks & <br />Rec is the one that deals with like our local, ah, activities out in the wild. So, they deal with <br />archery, they deal with, um… <br /> <br />AK: On County… <br /> <br />SW: Yes, on County property. So that’s the reason why I would say you might want to loop them in <br />as well, anyway, these are just ideas, I’m not trying to – how do I say this – I don’t think this <br />would be answered today. <br /> <br />AK: Yeah. <br /> <br />SW: I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying it’s more than oh, just go here. And I do agree like <br />talking to Kauai would probably be a good idea, just to see how they did it. Our structure might <br />be different than their structure but that doesn’t mean that they’re \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />AK: Yeah, and, and the Kauai folks – it’s just a private entity. It’s not anything related to the <br />government. <br /> <br />SW: Well, that’s a whole different ball of wax. <br /> <br />AK: Um-hum. But, again, this – what we’re looking to do here would be contracted out to someone <br />in the community. So, there are similarities for Kauai and whoever is awarded those contracts. <br />But I’d like to think beyond this contract and how we might kind of cement successful activities <br />within County infrastructure. So, who knows – a position just related to game management. It’s <br />something we might want to pursue next budget cycle after this report is done. Maybe even a <br />division within \[unclear\] or R & D. But I think we need to get through some plan like this to <br />showcase, hey, there is a plan or having someone on staff to oversee these kind of activities. <br /> <br />RD: Duerr, District – 1, essentially the state recognized with the largest wild pig population is Texas <br />and they have active management and an active control systems. There’s also the National Wild <br />Pig Task Force. So, they would be good coming from Hawaii, you know, point of view and then <br />getting input from people who deal with the national level and then from the Texas level. <br />Florida also has a active game management. So, a couple of – so putting together a specification, <br />going to a scope and a sequence of events and then not jumping the cart before the horse on <br />this. I think you’re going and I think you’re going in the right direction. <br /> <br />AK: Abraham, did you have any other mana’o, I’m sorry... Maybe just some comments… <br /> <br />AA: Yes. <br /> <br />AK: Would you be interested in helping us to kind of determine, you know, just baseline criteria <br />skills that a hunter should have in order to participate in our trapping and harvesting program? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, just reach out to me. <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
