DLNR Rule Change Committee
DLNR Draft board submittal 1020 rules change WHI KS 9-16-22 v.3
Recommendations to propose to Commissioners at November 15th meeting:
●Special hunting areas should be re-evaluated every 3-6 months until animals have been
reduced to target size
●Season should run from end of bird season to July and only be Saturday, Sunday,
Wednesday, Thursday and state holidays
●Our concern is that to much hunting pressure will push the animals into safety zones
next to the road and on to private property
●Allow a rifle for Billies only season
Additions from Stanley Mendes:
●Recommends that Puʻuanahulu is open from March through July, on weekends,
holidays, and maybe Wednesday and Thursday.
●For Puʻuwaʻaʻawa and Puʻuanahulu, they should determine what the breeding cycle of
the goats is and open accordingly.
Reasons:
●These recommendations are due to the current policies of DLNR which are focused on
eradication rather than careful management.
