Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes — February 13, 2017 <br />a hunting activity — because these people are shooting — they're not <br />hunting. It's unreasonable to hold them to the hunting rules when they're <br />just out target practicing. From an enforcement perspective — that's <br />kinda my biggest goal at the moment. <br />NP: Good. It would be great if we could all be on the same page about that. <br />TL: That actually is really good news. There's no legal place here as you know <br />so you find people shooting all over the place... <br />RF: I just came here to basically to introduce myself, open the dialogue, make <br />sure that you know that these guys are our local folks here to address any <br />immediate needs you might have. They have my full support — I wanted <br />you guys to understand that. <br />TL: I appreciate that part. It's important for us to be working with the people <br />who are working on our behalf. Your officers over here from my <br />perspective have a job description. <br />JB: We have a question from the governor's representative. <br />SK: Actually it's not a question. Chief Ferrell, I spoke to Kekoa a couple of <br />days ago. He told me that you would be talking about the shooting range. <br />Kekoa wanted to say that DLNR is working with Representative Evans to <br />make initial contact with the county to work collaboratively and that Hawaii <br />Island GMAC would be consulted. Then after potential locations are <br />sited, then the next step would be to advocate the legislature for the <br />funding to do a feasibility study on the identified sites and that would <br />include community consultation outreach meetings. I just wanted to add <br />that since the woman who was asking questions [unclear] know what the <br />process as I understand it would be. <br />DY: So this is Dwayne over in Hilo. I would ask that you involve the <br />communities at the very beginning instead of coming to us at a later stage <br />to tell us what you've decided. It's one of the problems we're having right <br />now with many of the agencies is we're asked to react rather than be pro- <br />active. So that's my suggestion to you and the governor and Ms. Evans. <br />Thank you, And I got no reaction. <br />JB: OK. Thank you, she said. <br />8 <br />
