Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – September 24, 2018 <br />AA: Well, I’m an active hunter. Hunted for generations with – not generations but <br />hunting been in generations in my family – me and my wife been foster <br />parents for like over 15 years not or something and in my home there’s been <br />a lot of youth children that I take with me different adventures and camping, <br />fishing, hunting so it’s a wide variety of things that I do with children and that’s <br />basically part of the reason why I want to bring back Pig Hunters of Hawaii is <br />to bring the community back together and – yeah, just bring the community <br />back together and bring in education and bring back the voice of the hunters <br />cause back in the day when Pig Hunters of Hawaii originally started Pig <br />Hunters did have a loud voice – after time – everyone got tired so the club <br />just disbanded basically. And Pig Hunters of Hawaii – it’s just a strong name <br />that everybody knows – that’s why I got the question of, “Why Pig Hunters – <br />why not make something up of your own?” It’s because Pig Hunters of Hawaii <br />was already established back in 1993. <br /> <br />TL: Long before that... <br /> <br />AA: Or maybe ’91... <br /> <br />TL: \[Not speaking in mic\] <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, ’91, yeah, something like that. So since that time it was very strong and <br />hopefully I can bring it back strong and with – if I get accepted as a board <br />member on this community – I can bring that voice back to the County <br />because right now a lot of the questions come from Chair members and stuff <br />like that – where is the voice coming from? Where is these hunters? So I’m <br />trying to establish that voice to bring it back... <br /> <br />NP: And give them courage to stand up... <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, try to bring that fire back... <br /> <br />NP: Yeah, instead of just giving up and laying low, right? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah. Cause right now everybody is just laying low and waiting for something <br />happen and hopefully, we can make something happen and like I say it’s not <br />– even thought the name says Pig Hunters of Hawaii – even back then it <br />wasn’t just for pig hunters – it was for sheep hunters, all outdoors men and if <br />fishermen wanted to come involved – they can come involve too. It’s all fine <br />and open arms. <br /> <br />TL: Yeah, one of the benefits that I see of what you’re doing is that – when we <br />talk about this voice – we have a voice that’s out there on the Internet and <br />out... <br /> <br />AA: Yeah... <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
