Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – February 12, 2019 <br />NP: Well, thank you for trying. <br /> <br />IC: It’s hard to relocate animals right now. <br /> <br />KU: Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there public hunting on Kapapala above that <br />where you get the code – you have to call at a certain time? <br /> <br />IC: Yes, the Forest Reserve is open. <br /> <br />KU: It is open? <br /> <br />IC: So if you’re familiar with it – from the highway essentially up to I want to say <br />6,000 – I’m kinda taking a guess but about 6,000 is the Kapapala Ranch <br />lease proper – that’s the general lease – and they also have some revocable <br />permit to the south of that – and that’s where the cooperative GMA for bird <br />hunting is. Above there, if you use the Ainapo access or the Hononui access <br />– which are both call-ins – you can hunt mammals above the ranch. <br /> <br />KU: Thank you. <br /> <br />SM: What about the numbers up there – out of the ranch? <br /> <br />IC: Oh, in the Forest Reserve? <br /> <br />SM: Yeah. <br /> <br />IC: Definitely lower. I’m sorry I don’t have the numbers with me right now, I mean, <br />I think with the grass and stuff in the ranch is pretty – is better and there’s no <br />pressure, right, or the pressure’s just from outlaws, unfortunately, but above <br />the ranch gets quite a few visitors. It’s good habitat but there’s probably – I <br />don’t have the numbers I’d probably count a fraction of what I count in the <br />ranch. <br /> <br />SM: Right. <br /> <br />TN: This is Teresa – you initially gave us a number of 400 in 2016-2017... <br /> <br />IC: Yes, ma’am... <br /> <br />TN: And then now its 2018 count is 260. <br /> <br />IC: I wouldn’t put too much into it – it’s an aerial overflight – it could be weather – <br />until we get like consistent numbers over a period of time you can’t really see <br />any trends. <br /> <br />TN: So there’s no hunting in that area? <br />11 <br /> <br /> <br />
