Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – February 12, 2019 have a good one for Kanalu – if there’s – how big these tracts of lands are... If they’d be willing to let hunters on I don’t know. SM: Thank you. SH: Steven Hurt and this is more or less what I’ve – I’m gonna ask him the question here point bland – cause you’ve – the Department has helped Big Island Bird Hunters with some materials and stuff – if groups – like what he’s talking about – it would be beneficial if an organized group came and you wanted check station in an area – if you could provide the materials and organized group would supply the manpower to put it up – something of which they’re very short of at this point in time. IC: Definitely, if you guys want to – if it’s a better fit for a group or an organization – I’ll provide the materials for them to be put up. We do finally – I mean, I know in the past we haven’t – we finally are getting more fully staffed and actually feel like we can go somewhere cause we have our technician positions filled and stuff – so – that’s why I feel like we’re getting some stuff done, but, um, I’d always rather work with any group to accomplish small, medium, large tasks, I mean, it gets tricky cause most time groups have to work on weekends and it’s trouble, you know, we all work usually Monday through Friday but we can definitely make it happen, I mean, even road clearing like Abraham’s come to us with – get me some bodies I’ll put some staff towards it too – or some chain saws or whatever – you know, whatever it is – it’s always good. It’s good, glorious to pull weeds. SH: It’s positive. Our Big Island Bird Hunters have received help from them in excess of 25 years and it’s always been positive – I know we’ve saved these guys a lot time and we’ve erected quite a few items in assisting them. Thank you. IC: My email and my door’s open when I’m around so if you guys have questions or concerns set up a meeting and we’ll talk story and if it’s – if there’s something we can help, you know, facilitate – please – it’s always good to get info from the folks that are trying to do, you know, or like directly, yeah, and I’d rather get it on the front end then the complaining rear end of it, so... If you want to come early and then I can try and do something about it versus – oh they going do nothing, you know... SH: I think on the positive side you have people that are looking about what are you gonna do about it – see if they have people that are interested in being part of the solution and not just bringing up problems and empty handed ideas or concepts that may address what they’re looking at. KS: Howzit? My name’s Kelsey Tsuchiyama. I just came for just listen – actually – I’m interested in all these topics tonight but – I just wanted to clarify about 19
