Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 17, 2017 think it’s a win-win – I think it’s a big win for Pohakuloa in getting community support. STC: It is. I mean, right now – I’ll be honest with you, Mr. Chairman, our number one community relations right now is hunting and, and I’ve sold this from the very beginning – if we were able to open up shooting that would become our number one community relations - opportunity. TL: Absolutely, everybody in this room agrees with you on that. Excellent, and I do appreciate you taking the time to – I hope you join us more frequently. PTA has been a big part of our community activities here for as long as I’ve been in – related to hunting and for years and years, they’ve had a wonderful opportunity to share with the people in the community here and you have a lot of aloha from the people in this room and elsewhere. STC: Yes, sir... TL: And, I’m encouraged. STC: Both me and the current commander up there got scared last year and thought we was gonna lose it – if we get the wheels in place, it doesn’t matter who the commander or major is up there. It will live on and that’s what we want to do before our ten years are up. TL: Wow. A person made a comment but did not provide name, I’d just like to thank you for that, um, again and also, um, personally the I-Sportsman for me – I don’t for everybody but it’s, it’s, I like it – it’s working good for me, um, you know, there’s always a learning curve...” STC: Right, right... A.person made a comment and did not state their name... “John and, and Brian have been doing a good job, I think, up there and, you know, thank you for your efforts to keep the hunting going.” STC: It’s our pleasure... c.
