Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2018 TL: And that is something....that I would like to try to rectify... RS: That’s where we need to get the hunters together and that’s what we’re here for... DY: I’d like to say something. We tried to get a website through the county very early on and we were told we cannot have it. So we’ve been trying to get the word back out to everybody, you know, it’s a major problem, but we don’t have the resources to go do this stuff, right, I mean, I’m a volunteer, I come to these meetings – you talk about the monk seal – I’ve been to the meetings – I’ve put in my two cents to the guys who write those reports and they told me there is no significant impact. Well, I’ve sat down with them and I’ve talked to them about the impacts – but they’re not, you know, they’re not dealing in logic. RS: Because they’re not involved – maybe they’re not fishermens. DY: They have their agenda going and, and I think what you have to do is you have to join with all your friends and neighbors and stand up because that’s the only way they’re gonna hear you and the problem is when we come and ask you to stand up, maybe you’ll come but who else? I’ve asked every meeting, OK, for a volunteer to serve from Council District 2. I have not gotten that phone call. My term of office is over, I’m done, I have more frustration than you have, OK? RS: That’s why, like I said, how many friends I got that I talk to. DY: If we don’t get the hunters to come out or the fishermen to come out and support whatever’s being done, we going lose it. RS: According to them – lot of ‘em says they don’t know what’s going on cause nobody lets them know what’s going on. WJC: Well, back to that, if there is a question, I mean, we’re not, we don’t have any meetings outside of these meetings here and these are public meetings – I’ve never been to a private meeting anywhere so if, if that is something that – no, but if that’s something that people are thinking is happening, I mean, you know, we need to make that clear. There is no private meetings outside of here happening with us. So whatever we are discussing is here... RS: \[Unclear\] the public or the hunters comments, you know, because none of you guys said that – even – \[unclear\] hunts, you know, they got good ideas... It’s like tonight, OK, we’re talking about DLNR shooting range, Mile Marker 16 – I know where that is, OK, and up Manuka – I seen the bullets in the rock 28
