Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – November 13, 2018 <br /> Not the fire breaks are just alongside the highway – that’s all I see. Not <br />unless they’re further up in the area... <br /> <br />KS: There’s other fire breaks in the areas – as far as plans for fire break and fire <br />breaks maintenance – I don’t want to throw this kind of under the bus but we <br />have a Protection Forrester and that’s kinda one of the primary <br />responsibilities is to plan for fire mitigation in the forest and so he should <br />know more about that than I do. Like I said, we have fire breaks – not all of <br />the fire breaks are just along the highway. We do maintain those fire breaks in <br />Puuanahulu and Puuwaawaa we maintain them very well. On Mauna Kea <br />we’re working on it... <br /> <br />TN: You’re working on the ones on Mauna Kea – so they will see more fire breaks <br />around Mauna Kea because of the tall grasses... <br /> <br />KS: Just maintaining the ones that are there. <br /> <br />TN: So on Mauna Kea there are fire breaks up at Mauna Kea? <br /> <br />KS: Yes... <br /> <br />TN: And so maintaining – so there’s no plans for future fire breaks? <br /> <br />KS: Not that I know of – we can ask the Protection Forester but I doubt it – I don’t <br />think we’re adding more – I think we’re just maintaining what’s there... <br /> <br />NP: Was Stanley’s question – was about when the ewes and nannies are <br />producing their young – rearing their young... <br /> <br />ii. Bills Concerning DOFAW ability to set or change Seasons with Consensus <br />and Approval of State GMAC <br /> <br />KS: The question was about changing – maybe changing the hunting seasons <br />away from when the reproductive, you know, when animals are having their <br />young – any changes in seasons would require a rules change – and I’m <br />open to anything – the animals, I’ve noticed kind of, I mean, we live in Hawaii <br />where there’s not a seasonal differences like there is on the mainland – and <br />so animals here give birth year round. I do see kind of two main times of the <br />year when they are giving birth, though, kind of a spring and fall – and so <br />anything to work around that would have to be a rules change, which like I <br />said I’m open to listening to any suggestions. <br /> <br />NP: Can you request a rule change? Would you have weight to request a rule <br />change...? <br /> <br />KS: We are in the process of reviewing our rules right now... <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />
