Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2019 nothing’s happening but hunters is all there an all pretty mad so, um, and then back to the these bills that is being introduced – I have a meeting with the community hunters on Tuesday to explain to them the bills and who they should call and all that. So more like an informative or action, you know, to take – to get the – so hopefully I get a lot of people there. TN: This is Teresa – where’s your meeting at and what time? th SM: It’s gonna be at the Paauiko Annex 6:30 on Tuesday, February 5. BKK: Is there any other commissioners that have a report? rd GH: This is Grayson from District 6 – on March 23 – I’m sorry – March 22 and March and March 23 – I’m working with the DLNR to put together a hunter education class for the Pahala/Naalehu communities, um, so if you have anybody in that area that could benefit from that please let me know and if you’re interested I’ll send out a flier within the next week and thank you to DLNR and thank you to the Parks for helping us put together this very important class for the community, um, in general, I think, I’ve been fortunate – I’ve met with various people in our district who really feel like restriction of hunting or restriction of fishing is not the answer. In fact, the opposite is the answer – that more responsible fishing and more responsible hunting practices and people we feel will not only increase the amount of game and fish in the environment but also improve the environment itself and fisheries and hunting amounts of animals and stuff, so, really we’re just trying to come together as a community to try to promote responsible hunting, so, thank you. BKK: Thank you, Grayson. Stanley and Grayson can you send those dates to myself or Donna and that way we can get it out to the other Commissioners? NP: A quick note before we close – Tom just wanted us to announce that a bill is coming out from Lynn DeCoite – HB265 – write it down – this bill calls for complete eradication of deer on Molokai. Heads up... BKK: Any other discussion? TN: Just a quick question on the deer on Molokai. What harm has it done that they’re stating that they need to eradicate the deer? NP: We’d better read this bill. Look it up. We should all look it up and respond right away. HB265. BKK: Any other Commissioner’s Report? Without hearing or seeing none – is there a motion to adjourn. 36
