Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 17, 2017 WC: Because I had went back and I told these kids, hey, look, it’s here online – you guys can get it started because any more – these kids have basketball, football, soccer, Boy Scouts, 4-H – they’re – when I was growing up my life was not structured - I didn’t have a schedule like these kids have nowadays. My son is already grown up and, and gone but – anyone with more than one child – I don’t know how they do it – because it’s crazy. This kid went out – he did the whole deal. got it passed – only to be disappointed because now he can – there’s no course offered here. Needless to say - his mom was not real happy either, so anyway, that’s my question – hopefully, we can get that addressed sooner than later... JC: Yeah, OK... I will bring that to Andrew and see what the deal is there... DY: I just wanted to add that I asked for a hard copy of that, you know, the training manual. I was surprise- I got it. You can thank whoever is responsible for that for the quick turnaround. JC: That’s right, yeah, the Hunter-Ed class training is actually managed through the DOCARE office – not the DOFAW, but we work closely with them so I can definitely talk with Andrew and figure out – ask him that question about live training here, yeah... WC: OK. Thank you. JC: No problem. TL: OK. I do appreciate and on the gun range issue – so that – you folks are the ones that are generally running that side of it, right? JC: In the past – actually no – it’s been through the Hunter’s Education. Yeah, we’re in the mix but we’re still collaborating with Hunter-Ed too because they’re ultimately responsible for the training that would go on there... th TL: OK. I do appreciate. Our next meeting is gonna be on the 13 of February... KD: You know, I get one question for these guy. What would it take for these guys to collaborate with you on the hunter’s education program? Meaning, I see a lot of experts here – a lot of instructors here – what if like say me and my boys and I get my grandson like join their club and go with the military and go up their range and stuff and get training by these people – could that be recognized as, as hunter’s education program because what I see with these guys is – hunter’s education going be more for birds and 37
