Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – November 13, 2018 <br /> <br /> The last rules change took seven years – we’re just starting the next one. <br /> <br /> They keep telling me that it’s gonna be faster than 7 years and I wasn’t here <br />for the last one... <br /> <br />TL: We do have some suggestions that we chipped in on those – up Kapapala – <br />you and I had talked about the 4,000 acres in Kapapala at one time – that <br />was the lease that was coming due in Kapapala... <br /> <br />KS: Four thousand acres. <br /> <br />TL: I think it was 4,000... <br /> <br />KS: There’s 23,000 acres that’s under general lease – and approximately 7,000 <br />acres under revocable permit so refresh me... <br /> <br />TL: It was not – I don’t think it was part of Kapapala – I think it was lease that was <br />coming due and I thought it could be 7,000 – but I thought it was four. <br /> <br />JM: Yeah, well, there’s the old Roger James piece across the highway, which is <br />mostly flat lava and we determined that that’s probably not a productive area <br />that we would take into forest reserve and the land agency would turn it over <br />but it wouldn’t be very productive, but, Kapapala Ranch – there is – are <br />discussions going on right now and once we kinda determine what direction <br />we’re going with the lease we want to get the – at least the commission <br />involved in helping us to determine what the – if we create any kind of hunting <br />there – what kind of hunting seasons and what are we gonna do... <br /> <br />KS: Thanks. I will get back to you so I’m just kinda, real quick, the couple things I <br />have noted so if I miss anything let me know. So I got email about Kiholo – so <br />I’ll get you guys emails to include everybody in that – ask Elliot about <br />reforestation results below the forest bird sanctuary cabin and then hunters <br />kinda start brainstorming ways that we can get hunters to assist us with the <br />health – kind of monitoring the health of our game mammal populations. Am I <br />missing anything? <br /> <br />TN: Two weeks before bird hunting season – I’m sorry – this is Teresa – two <br />weeks before bird hunting season opened on Mauna Kea you folks did an <br />aerial view. Why was that project done? Was it to count the birds or count the <br />sheep population? <br /> <br />KS: I don’t know what you’re talking about. We did have an aerial eradication two <br />weeks before and so if that’s what you’re talking about... <br /> <br />TN: Oh, it was an eradication... <br />29 <br /> <br /> <br />
