Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2013 ?: [Unclear] ?: Yeah! S. Araujo: They saying if the sheep is herded into an area where the helicopter cannot get ‘em, they not going to retrieve the meat. OK, so, I kind of stood the ground for the people and I told them, don’t hurt ‘em where you cannot get ‘em. OK? So in the beginning – and the idea of that thing was don’t waste the meat, OK? The sheep were to be brought out where anybody that wants it, even with a two-wheel drive vehicle has access to it. There wasn’t such thing as pull a card - fifteen guys can go. Chair Sylvester: Which is what they do now! [Unclear]… S. Araujo: Yeah. OK. Chair Sylvester: …..[unclear] encompass that changes with the Department of DLNR to update that – then we need people to show up! Cause at the last eradication, that was the problem. The last day, nobody pulled permits. And, if excuse my language, but they went ape shit and shot 500 animals that day. ?: Mm. S. Araujo: OK, but the point is – it’s supposed to be made public to any person that wants it. The pick-up stations, ah when I arranged it, was one was the Kilohana checking station… Chair Sylvester: Yeah… S. Araujo: OK. Mauna Kea – in the back of Mauna Kea State Park, they got the little compound? Chair Sylvester: Right, right. S. Araujo: OK. And the third one was by Hale Pohaku. They’re all 2- wheel drive accessible – somebody can go with a sedan. They can go pick up the meat. And it wasn’t, um, only for certain people, all the meat had to be distributed evenly. If there were four guys – one sheep – that sheep had to be quartered. Four guys, everybody get one quarter. That is the way it was originally set up. Chair Sylvester: OK. 36
