game bird hunting, was going to continue because we wanted to make sure that, because Kapapala Ranch, the people who are ranching now might not always be there, right? Like this. This is like planning, like the guy is going to replace me, you know, when I'm retired to make sure that hunting was there and even past that. So, we made sure that hunting thing. We made sure that written things would basically stay the same, as well as making sure that it’s still on the table for potentially things like making sure that the language was still in there for hunting in general (unclear). LT: Yeah, Leomana, District 3, last month, we went to Oahu, and then we met the chair of, well, the department. Imagine the chair, and we're talking about hunting on the Department of Ag properties. And there's absolutely zero hunting on Department of Ag properties, unless you are a lineal descendant of the Ahupuaa of that area. So, unless you are covered by Article 12, section seven, you cannot hunt period, you cannot hunt at all, hunting on the Department of Ag land, right? And so, all of those properties are being transferred to Department of Ag. And so I don't know, I just heard you say that they put it in writing that we still can hunt in the Department of Ag property, but the meeting, when we met the chair last month on Oahu, she said, No hunting period, no weapons, and it's just strict eradication. So, I guess it's kind of like… I forget her name… That was it for my question I just want to thank you very much. Thank you very much for spending an hour just kind of going through this with us (unclear) mahalo very much. You guys are good up there?
