<br />Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – November 25, 2013 <br />completing the Hunter Education Course as required by 183D-28. Anyone under <br />the age of 10 can participate under this program by renewing the Hawaii Hunting <br />Participant Permit till age 10 or through the second consecutive fiscal license <br />year if older than age 10. Any Hawaii Hunting Participant Permit tee shall at all <br />times, while engaged in any hunting activity, have this Permit on their person and <br />shall at all times be accompanied by a legally licensed Hawaii hunter aged 18 or <br />older. <br /> <br />Under 183D-28 Hunter education program – Number 4 – Obtains a Hunting <br />Participant Permit issued to prospective hunters required to be in the presence of <br />and under the guidance of a duly licensed Hawaii State Licensed Hunter while in <br />the field for the purposes of hunting. <br /> <br />T. Lodge indicated that the Hunter Ed program supports this. They will talk to the <br />feds and see if there is any funding available. <br /> <br />PowerPoint of this program available on disk and may be easily emailed. Board <br />encouraged to share with legislators and others to support this program. <br /> <br />Testimony will be the biggest challenge. We need to be proactive in getting as <br />many people to sign on to doing this as we can. This is a neutral program – there <br />shouldn’t be anybody against this. Not as in the Hunter Ed program. <br /> <br />\[Discussion\] <br /> <br />B. Command: Establish a program or is it funding, as well? <br /> <br />T. Lodge: I don’t know whether it’s funding that’s needed for this other than the <br />license. \[Inaudible\] <br /> <br />B. Command: The Mayor has said, he would welcome anything that we can get <br />to the legislature - he will – in fact he is expecting something from this group to <br />take to the legislature and lobby for. <br /> <br /> \[Discussion\] <br /> <br />It was suggested that Tom (Lodge) attend the legislature’s opening day or day(s) <br />prior to introduce (lobby) the Families Afields Program. And also present <br />mayor’s letter of support along with a copy of the PowerPoint presentation. <br /> <br />\[Discussion\] <br /> <br />Action: T. Lodge moved that GMAC support the Families Afields Program; <br />seconded by D. Yoshida, and carried unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br /> <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
