technology that we’ve never come across, you know, it’s just like – what’ next – flush toilets. It’s just getting ridiculous. Driving in today, Mauna Kea is so brown – the fire hazard – and they’re doing another sheep eradication next month it’s just asinine in my opinion and we need to just bring the DLNR in, I mean, start making them follow the rules, you know, HPD 1872 and from 2022 that game animals are allowed good habitat which means the waterers are working, we’ve got food plots, we’re doing these things to control these animals and protect the environment which is protecting the environment is having a low fire load so, anyways, that’s enough of my rant again, so thank you. LT: Thank you very much and for our last update of the day from the opposite west side of the Island. JA: Justin Ackerman, District 9. Greetings from the west side. Big swells has shut down Puako Boat Ramp. Bob – thanks for that update. And for those interested in all those updates – make sure everyone signs up with DOBOR for the alerts on the boat ramps, that was shut down in late December and that probably won’t get fixed until all these big swells subside and they can get a crew out there to get it fixed. So don’t expect that to get back up and running for another few weeks at least. That’s all that’s going on here. I, too, was going to mention the eradication efforts on February 11 and 12 in Mauna Kea ‘cause it’s not posted on the website. Can’t expect DLNR to get it posted in too many places, especially in the announcements section – it was posted on social media – cause you know all hunters love social media - but, yeah, so, it’s coming and, we wouldn’t want them to eat all the grass, so, that’s it from the west side. LT: Thank you. I do have a question. Do you have any connections with your military background that can help us push forward shotgun permits – to try to get the Department of Ag to allow buckshot on top of the property to take out their pig problems but, we have such a hard time pushing gun rights or gun ownership or weapons or any type of hunting tools in Hawaii – do you have any connections that can kind of write to the government – maybe like a general or something? JA: That’s not gonna assist the state. LT: Thank you very much. Moving on… 5. OLD BUSINESS: a. Nomination for Chair and Vice Chair. Deferred to February 18, 2025 meeting. b.
