Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – August 25, 2014 a few places that are designated for game reduction – mammal, game reduction on this island, and everybody else \[unclear\] and everywhere else is slated for \[unclear\] so we have these two places that are for game reduction – we can do some kind of management there – I was hoping that there would be some kind of emphasis on watching these areas as far enforcement \[unclear\] we all know that people cross over from the \[unclear\] gulch.
