June 18, 2024 - GMAC Minutes <br />some kind of game management, discussion on limiting the amount of hens that can be shot in <br />the fall and essentially to allow them to go to the spring season and then breed forward. The <br />other thing that he brought forward which was very interesting is that more out-of-state <br />hunters hunt turkey in the spring than state hunters do. And so these hunters are traveling a <br />long way to come and get a turkey, which, on the mainland can be a, which is a major deal and <br />so there’s no real, they’re spending money to get here – there’s no real outreach to them – <br />there’s no real like, hey, how do you get your gun here, hey, you’re here, where do you go, hey, <br />how about – so I think that’s really an opportunity for DOFAW to… <br /> <br />LT: Guide package or something… <br /> <br />RD: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So that was his main thing. The other thing too is he’s gonna be 90 years <br />old and he’s the only guy who’s been doing game management – pulling together stats – which <br />he finds just a little bit discouraging that DOFAW’s not picking that up, but that’s it. <br /> <br />LT: Do you have any recommendations? Should we write a letter of support… <br /> <br />SW: Well, you don’t even know what regulation is. <br /> <br />RD: Maybe have DOFAW come in and do like an overview and just talk about their procedure of <br />like, hey, what’s going down, yeah. <br /> <br />LT: OK. Thanks for that update on the turkey hunting. Yeah, I agree. I think if people fly in from out- <br />of-state to go hunt turkeys, we gotta tell them where the turkeys are and get them out of the <br />areas that we don’t want them in. <br /> <br />SW: Chair. I’m just gonna let you know that we do have we do have Joshua Pang-Ching on the Zoom <br />who I believe works with that agency. <br /> <br />LT: Yeah, uh-huh. <br /> <br />SW: Said he could speak to address that topic at a different time – a different meeting. <br /> <br />LT: OK. Yes, sir, can we have you back next month? Mahalo. Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />7. COMMITTEE REPORT: <br /> <br />a. Investigative Committee: Regulations Affecting Keauhou Bay and <br />Logistical Issues, and Potential Solutions, Committee Chair Natalie <br />Reynolds. <br /> <br />LT: Moving on. Ah, passing number 7, community report regulations affecting Keauhou Bay, Miss <br />Natalie Reynolds is excused this meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />
