Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – November 8, 2017 <br />keep moving, maybe it’s an inaccurate statement to say they’ve devastated <br />this area – check it out in a couple of months and see how it looks. <br /> <br />KS: There’s plenty of data on that. <br /> <br />TL: We’d love to see that. I have not yet – I’ve looked for a study by DLNR in <br />particular... <br /> <br />KS: I don’t know if it’s by us. We don’t really have a research arm so a lot of it’s by <br />other researchers. <br /> <br />NP: I wanted to go back to the other subject – you said you’re opening- <br />encouraging access for hunters and open season for hunters and actually <br />that’s not proper game management because there needs to be shut down <br />seasons for the animals to have rest – right Kanalu – he knows this and they <br />need to rest – they need to have a time to regroup to reproduce and have <br />their escape from hunters so that’s not good management I would say... <br /> <br />DS: It depends on the animal and the habitat. <br /> <br />TL: But isn’t that what management is for? <br /> <br />DS: Yeah, but again you’re talking \[unclear\] areas and we’re talking about <br />watershed forestry areas, right. <br /> <br />TL: That’s right. <br /> <br />WJC: He’s saying that we’re not interested in managing anything – that’s the bottom <br />line... <br /> <br />DS: We’re interested in managing a public program. <br /> <br />WJC: In Puuanahulu, for instance – we can open that 7 days a week – there’s not <br />an animal in there to be shot. How is that gonna benefit anybody, benefit any <br />hunter? How is that gonna make any hunter happy? There’s hardly any <br />animals in there. <br /> <br /> There’s no water – they get nothing to drink over there it’s a desert. There’s <br />no feed for them. <br /> <br /> You refuse to open the water units. The watering units fencing up so that the <br />sheep could drink water but yet you grumbling about them barking the trees. <br />They’re barking the trees cause they’re thirsty – they trying to get water – <br />that’s why they barking the trees – so I understand that we don’t want to have <br />the animals there. A lot of times the hunters know the areas better than you <br />guys do – and I’m hundred percent in agreement with you on that because I <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
