Hawaii Game Management Program
Introduction
Hawaii's game management program provides opportunities for recreational hunting of 15 spp. of game
birds and six spp. of game mammals. However, game species currently hunted in Hawaii are not native,
and game mammal species in particular may have negative impacts on sensitive native species and
ecosystems. Federal law precludes the use of federal funds in a manner that jeopardizes the continued
existence of listed, proposed, or candidate threatened and endangered species. Because a large
percentage of Hawaii's game program is funded by the Federal Wildlife Restoration Program (Pittman
Robertson or PR Program), game management decisions made for this program greatly influence
management policy for public hunting areas in general.
Maintaining a recreational public hunting program that does not threaten the persistence of native species
and ecosystems in Hawaii is a complex endeavor. Public hunting can provide a useful tool in controlling
game mammals on public and private lands where control is needed and funds are scarce. The Hawaii
Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) public hunting program supports and facilitates hunting on
public and private lands by providing a structured program that promotes and encourages participation.
The program aims to direct hunting toward less ecologically sensitive areas, while at the same providing
structured hunter access to more remote/pristine sites where recreational hunting can help to control
game mammal populations.
Hawaii's Five Year PR Game Management Program consists of eight separate Subgrants (W-22-GC through
W-30-NP) and 34 different projects or segments. This program will fund projects for monitoring hunter
activities and game species population status, land leases to provide additional areas for public hunting,
game habitat improvement, game population management in suitable habitats through control of alien
predators, facility and infrastructure development, and projects that will aid in data gathering and analysis.
These and other activities are all aimed at maximizing hunter recreational opportunities and staff
efficiency, within budgetary constraints, in conjunction with other DOFAW mandates, and in compliance
with relevant state and federal laws and regulations. Project statements and a "Schedule of Funded Projects"
which provide specifics on planned management activities and expenditures are provided in the following
sections.
The State of Hawaii believes that after reviewing the impacts of activities funded in this grant package,
findings of "No Effect" or "Not Likely To Adversely Affect Listed Species" are warranted for the Section
7 evaluation on the use of federal funds for this program. A brief overview of the program and additional
supporting information is provided below.
Program Overview
With an ever increasing human population, there has been a concomitant increase in demand for both
consumptive (hunting) and non -consumptive (wildlife study and observation) wildlife resources. There are
approximately 916,000 acres of public hunting areas in Hawaii. Appendix I contains a list of public hunting
areas throughout the State and maps of their locations. Hunter checking station data collected throughout
the State during FYI indicated that public hunting areas provided nearly 9,600 hunter trips for game birds
and 23,763 trips for game mammals, totaling 3 3,3 82 trips (or hunter days). Hunter trips for game birds were
up nearly 12% from those reported in the FY14, and trips for game mammals were close to equal to FY14
report data. Game harvest reports from public hunting area check stations in FYI indicated approximately
13,300 game birds taken (up 73% from FYI 4) and nearly 4,883 game mammals taken FY14 reports).
4
The most dramatic increase was an increase in the number of Game birds reported taken from Hawaii Island,
up from 6107 in FY14 to 11,654 in FY15. Participating in game -related wildlife activities is an important
recreational outlet for many of Hawaii's residents and visitors. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service 2006 National Survey of Hunting, Fishing and Wildlife -Associated Recreation, 18,000 persons
hunted and spent 420,000 days hunting in Hawaii. The survey also indicated that hunters spent
$21,000,000 in the State for hunting -related recreation, up 40% from expenditures reported in 2001.
Legal Framework
Hawaii's resources are managed under the authority and mandates of several laws and regulations. State
law authorizes and mandates the protection, conservation, development and utilization of wildlife
resources of the State. Specifically, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) 171-3 mandates that the Department of
Land and Natural Resources shall manage and administer forests, forest reserves, wildlife, wildlife
sanctuaries, game management areas, public hunting areas, Natural Area Reserves, and other functions
assigned by law. HRS Section 18313-2 mandates that the Department shall manage and administer the
wildlife and wildlife resources of the State which, by definition, includes both game and nongame species.
Section 18313-3 further mandates that the Department shall adopt rules protecting, conserving,
monitoring, propagating, and harvesting wildlife and under 18313-4 the Department is given the authority
to maintain, manage, and operate game management areas, wildlife sanctuaries, and public hunting areas
for these purposes. Chapter 195D, HRS, provides broad authority to the department for the management
of indigenous spp. and provides protection of those spp. by prohibiting take. Within the Department,
DOFAW has been delegated the management responsibility for terrestrial wildlife and the game management
component of that program.
Development of wildlife management policy in Hawaii involves a broad range of considerations. Natural
resources are managed in consultation and collaboration with partners, communities, and constituents,
who represent a wide variety of opinions about resource management. Legislative, congressional, and
judicial decisions influence, and may even dictate, natural resource management policy. In addition, many
of the statutes and rules that direct management are broad in nature and, at times, conflicting.
In order to deal equitably with its varied constituencies and mandates, DOFAW has developed an open and
interactive process to determine guidelines for management strategies for all lands under its jurisdiction. This
process has often resulted in emotional and, at times, divisive, debates over potential forest land use and
wildlife management practices as demands among user groups increase and we attempt to integrate
environmental, local community, hunting, and native Hawaiian
cultural concerns. Appendix IV describes the Resource Management Guidelines as
1 Resolution of the very large discrepancies between the USFWS National Survey numbers and hunter checking station data has been
previously approached as follows. With questionnaires returned from over 1,300 Hawaii hunters in 2003, the number of hunting days
estimated was 5.2 times the number of hunting days reported in check stations for that year. If this factor is applied to FYI check
station data, the result is 204,700 hunting days. When national survey results were adjusted to include only licensed hunters (10,080 in
FY10), the national survey estimate was 234,100 hunter days annually, much closer than the more than 10 fold difference between
state and federal raw results

they relate to game animal management and how they were used to develop and coordinate activities in
this program.
Federal Assistance Section 7 Assessment
In developing these projects, precautions have been taken to evaluate potential impacts to threatened and
endangered species and to incorporate measures that will protect listed species that may be affected by
project activities. Hawaii currently has 503 species listed as threatened or endangered, an additional 49
proposed or candidate species under consideration for listing. (See Appendix II for a list of endangered and
threatened species found on the various Islands throughout the State).
A Federal Assistance Assessment (Section 7 Evaluation Form) has been completed by the State Federal
Assistance Coordinator for each project to identify potential impacts to listed species and to incorporate
measures to avoid impacts. The following considerations provide a general framework for the game
program and the evaluation of potential program impacts on listed species.
1. The majority of the activities carried out under this program are routine, ongoing and located in
disturbed areas with no or very few listed species. Improvements are located to avoid impacts to listed
species during construction and use.
2. A small percentage of the State's Federal Assistance PR Program is dedicated to Nongame/Endangered
Species wildlife activities that directly benefit and enhance listed species.
3. Many of the Game Management Program activities indirectly benefit and enhance listed species. For
example, predator control and water unit development for game birds also benefit nene in many areas.
Roads, trails and facilities developed or maintained in remote areas increase opportunities for wildlife
viewing and increase hunter pressure which helps control game mammal populations. Access also
facilitates fire control, which benefits listed species and native species and habitats.
4. DOFAW's Resource Management Guidelines and distribution maps of listed species were used as
Planning tools in developing game management project activities and in assessing potential impacts to
listed species in completing the State's portion of the Section 7 Assessments. The major focus of the game
enhancement program utilizing Federal funds is for game birds, which involves activities that are unlikely
to adversely affect listed species.
5. Program activities that might enhance game mammal populations have been purposefully designed, with
specific mitigative actions identified, to avoid activities that directly affect listed species. Program activities
that do enhance game mammal populations are done in a small number of "Game Production" areas (less
than 10% of all hunting areas) and these projects include a commitment to identify and protect listed species
in the areas that are at risk from game mammals.
6. Where there is a potential for adverse impacts to listed species, DOFAW has included actions to mitigate
impacts such as fencing endangered plants, creation of "No Hunting" safety zones for nene, and
educational materials for hunters to increase

Project 1 W-22-GC-1 State of Hawaii Game Program Planning and Coordination
A. Need
Because of the complexity and volume of the program and geographic separation of project activities,
overall coordination must be provided in order to adequately plan, review, administer, and monitor
PR game projects. In addition, the Division has begun development of a series of district strategic
game management plans to facilitate effective program implementation. Liaison is needed with the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State agencies and other organizations to ensure prompt and efficient
handling of project affairs. Statewide program monitoring is needed to ensure compliance with
Federal Assistance standards and applicable State and Federal laws, regulations, and directives.
Monitoring and response may also be needed to proposed changes in State laws and regulations
which may affect State participation in the game portion of the PR program. In addition, possible
changes in Division administrative rules which facilitate compliance and cooperation with program
partners are continuously reviewed.
B. Objectives
• Establish and maintain a system of planning, review, record keeping, project monitoring,
supervision reporting and coordination among staff and outside personnel and agencies
adequate to meet the requirements for participation in and administration of the game
management portion of the State's Federal Assistance in Wildlife Restoration Program.
• Complete the draft strategic game management plan for the island of Hawaii and develop the
same for Maui.
• Persue site -specific game management planning for all current and proposed public hunting
areas.
• Assure adequate and diversified long-term funding. The program will seek to leverage PR
funds to achieve broader program implementation.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The Game Program Planning and Coordination Project will provide staff and procedures to ensure
that the State meets its responsibilities for participation in the Federal Assistance program, including
long-term planning, compliance, record keeping, reporting, field staff supervision, and coordination
of game Federal Assistance activities with the Service and other State and agency programs.
Coordination of the game portion of the program will help ensure continued participation in the PR
Federal Assistance program and thereby improve hunting and increase sport hunting opportunities,
protect and enhance wildlife habitat on both public and private land, improve the integration of game
management activities with other compatible or competing uses and provide information on the wise
management and appropriate use of game species.
D. Approach
The Federal Assistance Coordinator will serve as the principal administrator of the Federal Assistance
Wildlife Restoration program and be responsible for compiling and submitting the statewide Grant
Proposal Package, annual Grant Agreements and annual progress and status reports. Branch
personnel will perform planning, local compliance and coordination activities at the branch level as
well as provide the coordinator with project documents, reports, recommendations to be incorporated
E3
in statewide documents and assure long-term diversified funding.
Coordination with staff or other agencies concerning PR project activities will be conducted by
written or verbal communication or by attendance at meetings or conferences. The coordinator will
provide training sessions for Division staff review projects in the field throughout the State, and chair
PR meetings. The coordinator will assure compliance with audit requirements, Federal Assistance
standards, applicable State and Federal laws and regulations and maximize utilization of available
Federal Assistance funding. The coordinator or other wildlife staff will attend annual meetings of
Region 1 Federal Assistance Coordinators, twice -annual meetings of the Western Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), and other national meetings and training as needed. The
coordinator will schedule and chair 1-2 statewide federal assistance meetings per year. The
coordinator will conduct an annual site visit to each Branch to inspect federal assistance projects for
compliance with program guidelines. During FYI 7-21, the coordinator and Branch project leaders
will participate and assist in a scheduled Federal Assistance Program comprehensive audit.
A draft game management plan for Hawaii is being developed through collaboration with a public
hunting advisory group, and the same is planned for Maui. The advisory group will appoint a
subcommittee to serve as a working group to provide guidance and oversight during the development
of the plan. Public input will allow the team to focus on areas of greatest need identified by the
hunting community.
The Wildlife Program Manager is the senior wildlife staff position on the administrative staff and has
been designated the Division Federal Assistance Coordinator. The Wildlife Program Manager reports
to and works through the Administrator who has line authority over all forestry and wildlife programs
and activities in the state through branch managers to branch wildlife staff. The Wildlife Program
Manager serves in a staff support and advisory function to the Administrator and Division staff. Key
personnel, organizational titles, and project functions are as follows:

Office of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife. The Branch Project Leaders are stationed in the
respective Branch offices of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife in Lihue, Kauai; Honolulu, Oahu;
Wailuku, Maui; Hilo, Hawaii; and Kamuela, Hawaii.
Project 2 W-23-GL-1 Statewide Game Land Access and Acquisition
Project 2 W-23-GL-1 Statewide Game Land Access and Acquisition
A. Need
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife
(DOFAW/Division), manages over 1,000,000 acres of state land for wildlife -dependent
recreation and conservation, and demand is growing for public hunting on these public lands.
However, over half of all land in Hawaii is privately owned, and private landowners —as well as
other public landowners —frequently block public access to substantial portions of the DOFAW
lands that are designated for public hunting. In order to expand opportunities for public hunting
and other wildlife -dependent public uses, it is imperative that DOFAW (1) sustain and optimize
public use of areas that are already accessible; (2) establish public access to areas that are not
accessible; and (3) acquire new land for public use. If DOFAW does not satisfy the growing
demand for access to public hunting areas, and if hunting pressure is not applied across a larger
landscape, then game animals will become more scarce in existing hunting areas and will cause
more damage on inaccessible public and private lands. DOFAW's partnership with the hunting
community to manage ungulate populations will weaken, and hunter safety and satisfaction will
decline due to the lack of adequate space for hunting activities.
B. Objectives
• Extend or renew existing leases, licenses, and other access agreements:
o Extend an existing license to use the Kekaha Game Management Area, Kauai
(approximately 13,000 acres) for public hunting for a five year period.
o Continue to acquire, by annual license fee, 1,000 acres of private ranch lands on Maui, to
keep them available for public hunting through September 2018.
o Renew the license for another ten year period, through September 2028.

Project 3.W-29-GR-1 Game Mammal Research: Accurately Estimate Sheep and
Goat Survival Rates, Population Demographics and Habitat Use in the Puu
Waawaa Forest Reserve and Puu Anahulu GMA: West Hawaii
A. Need
The Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve (PWW FR) and the Puu Anahulu Game Management Area (PAH
GMA) are actively managed for sheep and goat hunting. Currently, there is a Habitat Conservation Plan
in development for these two areas that would give the State greater ability to manage game mammal
13
populations in these areas, while protecting threatened and endangered plant and animal species found
there. There is a dearth of information regarding survival rates, population demographics, and habitat use
for sheep and goats in these two areas.
B. Objective
• Accurately estimate sheep and goat survival rates, population demographics, and habitat use in
the Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve and the Puu Anahulu Game Management Area.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
A capture -mark -recapture analysis will be used to estimate adult survival rates for these two game species
in these management areas. By incorporating this information with concurrent sheep and goat abundance
estimates bag limits can be more accurately determined to improve the overall hunting experience in these
areas. The geographic data collected will also improve home range and habitat use estimates.
D. Approach
This is a continuation of a research project that began in FYI6. The marked population of sheep will be
augmented capturing approximately 30 more individuals and fitting them with radio/GPS collars. Each
collared individual will be visually located weekly. Pertinent geographic (i.e., utm coordinates) and
demographic (i.e., group size) data will be recorded. When a mortality occurs the carcass of the animal
will be promptly located. If possible, cause of death will be determined. A known -fate analysis will be
used in Program MARK to estimate survival rates. Locational data will be used in a geographic
information system to determine habitat use, animal movements, and home range sizes. Data from the
GPS collars will be compared to data collected from visual locations of radio collared animals.

Project 4 W-30-NP-01 Napu`u Conservation Project — West Hawaii
A. Need
Game mammal hunting has been an important activity in the Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve and
the Puu Anahulu GMA (Project Area) for more than a century. Access to hunting areas within
the Project Area is via four-wheel drive roads which act as fuel breaks in this highly fore prone
environment. The four wheel drive roads need to be actively maintained to prevent overgrowth
by invasive weeds, primarily fountain grass and tree tobacco. In addition to being a valuable
hunting area, the Project Area is also home to 15 endangered plant species and one endangered
moth species. The Division of Forestry and Wildlife has been developing a state Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) that will protect these endangered species while also implementing
game mammal population enhancements. Fenced exclosures as well as propagation and
outplanting of native plant species will help avoid and minimize impacts from game mammals
as well improve game bird habitat. While the HCP will provide the Division of Forestry and
Wildlife with an incidental take license on a State level, a Biological Opinion (BO) will be
required before any federal assistance can be applied to game mammal enhancement activities
in the Project Area. Data that will be required of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) to complete this BO will be collected by contractors and state employees. Federal
assistance is requested to fulfill USFWS requirements to complete the BO.
B. Objectives
• Maintain over 70 miles of hunter and fire access roads within the Project Area.
• Assess current status of existing and proposed critical habitat areas within the Plan
based on the informational needs required from the USFWS.
• Implement habitat restoration activities in exclosures to improve game bird habitat
and mitigate for game mammals impacts on native species in the Plan Area.
C. Expected Results
• Continued hunter access into the Project Area via cleared four wheel drive roads. A map
roads maintained for hunter access and fire minimization.
• Data from field surveys will be provided to the USFWS for the development of a BO for
the Plan Area. The BO would instruct the state as to which game mammal management
activities would be appropriate for federal assistance.
• Implementation of outplanting activities in fenced exclosures to improve game bird
habitat as well as offset negative impacts on native plant species from game mammals.
D. Approach
Utilize contractors (1 Project Coordinator, 1 Field Crew Leader, and 3Field
Assistants) and State employees to collect data required by the USFWS for the
completion of the BO.
15
Improve game bird and native habitat in fenced exclosures and remove game
mammals.

Project 7 W-24-GO-03 Game Operations and Maintenance- Maui County
A. Need
Increased awareness and interest in the outdoors has increased the demand for multi -use areas in
Maui County. In the recent past approximately 20,000 acres of public hunting lands within Maui County
has been lost because of their withdrawal from public use by private or public landowners. As available
18
public hunting areas are at a premium and the recreational demands by both the hunting and non -hunting
public are beyond the capacity of the available areas, it is ever more important that operation and
maintenance of existing facilities be optimized to obtain the fullest recreational benefit from these areas.
B. Objectives
• Operate and maintain facilities and infrastructure in nine (9) public hunting areas totaling 112,311
acres in Maui County (91,311 on Maui, 20,000 on Molokai, and 1,000 on Lanai) in order to
support wildlife management activities and provide wildlife oriented recreation opportunities to
the residents of Maui County and the rest of the State.
• This includes maintaining both self -check and monitored hunter check stations, upkeep of signs,
maintain existing game bird guzzlers, fence and gate maintenance and road and access trail
maintenance.
• Purchase of a 4-wheel drive vehicle for the island of Maui and Molokai in
FY2017.

recreational hunting opportunities in these areas
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The wildlife management areas on Oahu are expected to provide approximately 3,500 hunter days of
recreation, resulting in a harvest of approximately 500 feral pigs, 200 feral goats, and 300 game birds
annually. Maintenance of access trails and roads provides a secondary benefit to non -hunting segments
of the public by providing access to hiking and camping areas. Maintenance of infrastructure, water lines,
fences are integral to continue to enhance habitat and game populations in Game Management Areas.
New areas accessible to hunting will also increase quality and quantity of hunter harvest on Oahu.
D. Approach
The following existing infrastructure will be inspected and maintained (4x/year):
20
• Two (2) baseyard buildings and one (1) remote storage area at Kuaokala.
• Twenty-six (26) game bird feed stations and water units

A. Need
Existing game management roads, trails, fences, exclosures, game bird and mammal hunter checking
stations, storage buildings, campsites, feeding sites, watering units and hunting area management signs
will require annual repairs and maintenance to maintain a viable recreational hunting program in areas
planned for continued hunting on Kauai. Without maintenance of this infrastructure, recreational
mandates for public hunting cannot be adequately accomplished.
B. Objectives
• Maintain and operate 13 mailbox type and seven building type hunter checking stations for the
collection of game harvest data and measurement of hunter effort in 13 hunting units.
• Maintain feeding sites in the Kekaha and Wailua GMAs (sustained -yield hunting areas) and
Hunting Unit L — Cooperative Management Area to increase game bird productivity in areas that
otherwise would support low natural populations.
• Upgrade and maintain 40 game bird water units (rain catchments, tanks and pipes within the
21
Kekaha Game Management Area (GMA) to increase game bird productivity.
• Maintain approximately 330 hunting area boundary, safety zone and instructional signs to
manage public hunting.
• Maintain existing jeep roads and trails in all public hunting areas to facilitate hunter access to
both sustained yield hunting areas and to areas needing ungulate control.
• Maintain existing boundary fences, cattle guards and exclosure fences to keep feral livestock out
of the forest reserve areas, natural areas, and sites where remnant listed endangered plants occur.
• Maintain hunter campsites in remote areas to encourage hunting pressure in areas needing animal
control.
• Maintain five storage buildings necessary for protection of materials, equipment and supplies
from theft or damage caused by exposure to the elements.
• Maintain game vehicles and heavy equipment to keep them in good running condition in order to
complete game operation and maintenance jobs.
• Replace game trucks and equipment when they are due for retirement.
• Hire one game technician to accomplish the operations and maintenance jobs.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The maintenance of game bird and mammal infrastructure in public hunting areas, forest reserves, natural
areas and portions of State Parks (open to hunting) will enable DOFAW to satisfy the recreational
mandates for its public hunting program, as well as manage hunting activity for the benefit to threatened
and endangered species and native ecosystem protection.
D. Approach
Thirteen mailbox -type hunter checking stations and seven small building -type hunter checking stations,
five storage buildings and campsites need regular maintenance such as cleanning, painting, and routine
repairs when damaged by vandals or severe weather.
Forty gamebird water units in the Kekaha GMA need regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them
operational. Occasionally, water needs to be hauled by tank trailer during exceptionally dry periods.
Newly planned gamebird feeding sites in the Wailua GMA and Hunting Unit L will also require annual
maintenance.
Eighty miles of existing jeep roads, and fifty miles of trails used by hunters for access require annual
maintenance after storm damage, weed overgrowth, and rutting from heavy use.
Approximately 330 hunting area management signs, for designating hunting area boundaries, safety
zones, and instructions to hunters need to be checked for loss and vandalism requiring repairs or
replacement.
Approximately 0.75 miles of existing boundary fence, cattle guards, gates, and game range and plant
protection fencing require regular checks for needed repairs, and replacement of broken fencing when it
occurs.
Game vehicles and heavy equipment need to be maintain and/or replaced to keep the game program
running smoothly.
The purchase of a new marine boat for game management along the Na Pali Coast is needed for year-
round work. Maintenance of the boat is needed to keep it in good running conditions.
22
Air transportation into remote hunting areas for trail, fence, signage and campsite maintenance and repair
is needed to keep the game program running smoothly.
Hire one full-time game technician to accomplish the game operations and maintenance task.
E. Location.
All game operations and maintenance occur on public hunting areas on the island of Kauai. Game water
units and feed sites maintained under this project are located in the Kekaha and Wailua GMAs. Hunting
checking stations, storage buildings, jeep roads and foot trails, signs, exclosure fences and boundary
fences occur in various forest reserves, natural areas, and portions of State Parks. Facilities maintained in
these areas are not intended to enhance game mammal populations, but are maintained to encourage
hunting for the reduction of ungulate impacts on native flora and fauna.

diseases and predation from introduced mongooses, rats, feral cats and feral dogs. Population
management is needed to restore game bird populations depressed by predation. There are no native
mammalian predators in Hawaii. Niches for small and medium-sized predators are filled
by introduced Indian mongooses, feral dogs and cats, and rats. In many instances they are the primary
limiting factors on ground -nesting birds. Although game bird population levels are closely linked to
annual precipitation, predation is usually the next limiting factor especially during the nesting and brood
rearing seasons. Predator population management plays a key role in relieving predation pressure on
game bird populations. Where mammal management game is allowed, mineral and feed supplements will
improve the health of the population. In areas where control of game mammal populations is conducted,
management practices include maximizing use of the hunting community by increasing public access to
those game resources whenever safe, feasible, and effective. These practices include deployment of
fences to manage game movement, public harvest of game to reduce population levels, staff control of
game where needed, and salvage of harvested game for public use. In some areas, fencing is necessary to
delineate state boundaries for hunting areas and to prevent mammal populations from encroaching on
roads for public safety.
B. Objectives
• Enhance game bird populations at Kapapala Ranch, Mauna Loa, and Kipuka Amahou
PHA's by reducing predators and monitoring disease, thus enhancing reproduction and
survival of game birds. Continue to maximize hunting opportunities in the reduction of feral
cattle numbers in appropriate hunting areas; 350 hunter trips, 90 feral cattle per year.
Improving access to public hunting areas
23
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The reduction in numbers of predators and subsequent increase in game bird reproduction and survival
will increase the number of game birds in Kapapala, Mauna Loa, and Kipuka Aina Hou PHA's.
Reducing disease and predation by 50% would potentially double game bird populations. Game birds
will be checked for pathogens to determine the effects of parasitism and disease as limiting factors.
Increased chick production is expected to result in an additional harvest of 2,900 game birds per year
and an additional 2,000 hunter recreation days, a substantial increase in wildlife recreation
opportunities. Mineral and feed supplements, where warranted, will provide for healthier game martial
populations. Control of feral ungulates in sensitive areas, particularly feral cattle, will reduce damage
to sensitive ecosystems while providing
D. Approach
Predators will be reduced by trapping introduced mongooses, rats, feral cats and feral dogs. Disease
testing will be done at checking stations and in hunting areas. Game birds will be checked for
pathogens to determine the effects of parasitism and disease as limiting factors. Investigations will be
conducted in cooperation with the Animal Industry Branch of the State Department of Agriculture.
Feed and mineral stations will be placed near water units where feasible. Feral cattle control hunts will
be managed for maximum benefit to hunting community and ecosystem protection.
E. Location.
Predator reduction will be conducted at Kapapala Ranch, Mauna Loa, and Kipuka Aina Hou PHA's.

Project 11 W-25-GP-02 Game Population Management Hawaii County -
West Hawaii District
A. Need
There are no native mammalian predators in Hawaii. Niches for small and medium-sized predators are
filled by introduced Indian mongooses, feral dogs and cats, and rats. In many instances they are the
primary limiting factors on ground -nesting birds. There are no naturally occurring large predators to
control these introduced predators. Although game bird population levels are closely linked to annual
precipitation, predation can be another limiting factor especially during the nesting and brood rearing
seasons. Predator population management plays a key role in relieving predation pressure on game bird
populations. Where game mammal management is allowed, mineral and feed supplements will be
provided to improve the health of the population. In areas where control of game mammals'
populations is conducted, the Division implements management practices to increase public access to
those game resources whenever safe, feasible, and effective. Those practices include deployment of
fences to manage game movement, public harvest of game to reduce population levels, staff control of
game where needed, and salvage of harvested game for public use.
24
It is anticipated that during the next five year cycle a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) will be
implemented in Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve and Puu Anahulu GMA. This HCP will allow the State to
perform various actions, including augmenting game mammal populations using translocations
(releasing more game mammals into the area). When appropriate, this management activity will be
utilized to improve game mammal populations.
B. Objectives
• Increase game populations at Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve, Mauna Kea Forest Reserve,
Kaohe and Puu Anahulu GMA's, and Kahua Special Permit Area by reducing predators,
thus enhancing reproduction and survival of game birds. Improve health of game
mammal populations where appropriate.
• Increase quality of game bird habitat through outplanting of native species in fenced units
at Puu Waawaa and Puu Anahulu.
• Control weeds in and around fenced units to increase the quality of game bird habitat.
• Control game mammal populations, where needed, in public hunting areas using public
hunting and staff control.
• Salvage game resources for public use in control areas where practical.
• Augment game mammal populations under the Habitat Conservation Plan at Puu Waawaa
and Puu Anahulu.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The reduction in predation, the increase in quality of game bird habitat, and the subsequent increase
in game bird reproduction and survival will increase the annual production of game birds. This will
result in increased game bird harvest and hunter success. Supplementation of minerals and feed to
mammal population swill improve health, especially during droughts, and draw animals away
from ecological sensitive areas. Control of game mammal populations where needed will enhance
habitat by reducing the impacts of browsing and grazing. Augmentation of game mammals at Puu
Waawaa and Puu Anahulu will help to improve the population of game species in the area and
improve overall hunting opportunities.
D. Approach
• 60 -100 traps will be deployed from February through September for rats, mongooses, feral
cats and feral dogs
• Utilize supplements for game management.
• Salvage will be conducted using helicopters or other suitable vehicles for transport up to 12
times per year
• Increase sheep population at Puu Waawaa and Puu Anahulu by 200 individuals per year.
Activity - Predator Control
• Purchase of traps, nets, ammo, guns, bait, snares, etc to control predators
Activity — Rodent Control
• Purchase of traps, rodenticide, bait stations, etc. to control rodents

Project 12 W-25-GP-03 Game Population Management: Maui County
A. Need
Demand for recreational game bird and game mammal hunting continues to increase, yet populations of
game birds cannot keep pace with demand. One reason for inadequate production is heavy predation
losses from introduced mongoose, rats, feral cats and feral dogs. Population management is needed to
meet the goals of increased game hunting pressure. In order to restore game birds to their carrying
capacity in nesting areas, introduced predators must be severely reduced or eliminated.
B. Objectives
• Restore game bird populations at the Kahakuloa GMA, the Lanai Cooperative GMA, Kanaio
GMA, Molokai Forest Reserve PHA, and the Kula Forest Reserve through a predator control
program.
• Purchase mongoose and cat traps as needed.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
• The reduction in numbers of predators and subsequent increase in game bird survival and
reproduction will increase the number of game birds in the Kahakuloa GMA, Kula Forest
Reserve, Kanaio GMA, the Lanai Cooperative GMA, and Molokai Forest Reserve PHA.
Reducing predation by 50%, would potentially double the recruitment of young to the game bird
population. This increased chick production is expected to result in an additional harvest of 450
game birds per year and an additional 600 hunter days of recreation, a substantial increase in
wildlife recreational opportunities to the people of Maui County.
• The purchasing of traps to replace existing traps will allow for the ability to remove unwanted
predators
D. Approach
• Predator numbers will be reduced by trapping introduced mongoose, rats, feral cats and feral
dogs. Twenty eight traps will be set and checked during the key game bird breeding and nesting
season (February through July) on the island of Maui. On Lanai, 12 traps will be set and checked
during the months of February and July.
• During FY17, FY19 and FY 21, 30 traps will be purchased to replace damaged or non-
functioning traps

Project 13 W-25-GP-04 Game Population Management: Honolulu County
A. Need
There are no native mammalian predators in Hawaii. Niches for small and medium-sized predators are
filled by introduced Indian mongooses, feral dogs and cats and rats. In many instances they are the
primary limiting factors on ground -nesting birds. There are no naturally occurring large predators to
control these introduced predators. Demand for recreational game bird and game mammal hunting
continues to increase, yet populations of game birds and mammals cannot keep pace with demand.
Game bird populations are kept at very low numbers because of predation from introduced mongooses
and rats, and by feral cats and dogs. In order to restore game birds to their carrying capacity in nesting
areas, introduced predators must be reduced or eliminated.
B. Objectives
Protect populations of wild francolin, quail, pheasant, partridge, dove, and turkey and other game birds
by reducing predation by mongooses, cats, rats and dogs through the use of:
Live trapping: Traps will be deployed near guzzlers to protect chicks and juvenile birds. Traps will
also be deployed in areas where birds are most vulnerable, determined by staff. Free roaming animals
will also be neutralized opportunistically. Other predators detected in the area will be trapped as
situation dictates. The purchase of traps, nets, guns, ammom bait and snares will be used to control
predators along with the purchase of rodenticides and bait station to control rodents.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The reduction in numbers of predators and subsequent increase in game bird reproduction and
survival could increase the hunter success ratio per hunter trip by 20 percent over five years.
D. Approach
• 60 live traps will be deployed year-round to control mongoose, cats and other non-native
predators.
• Free -roaming feral dogs will be trapped in live cage traps when presence is detected

Project 14 W-25-GP-05 Game Population Management: Kauai County
A. Need
There are no native mammalian predators in Hawaii. Niches for small and medium-sized predators are
filled by introduced feral cats, feral dogs and rodents. In many instances, non-native predators are the
primary limiting factors on ground nesting birds. In 2012, two Indian mongooses were caught in Lihue,
Kauai prompting the need to increase efforts for detection and trapping. There are no naturally occurring
large predators to control these introduced predators. Demand for recreational game bird and game
mammal hunting continues to increase, yet game populations cannot keep pace with demand. One reason
for the inadequate production is losses to predation. Population management through predator control is
needed to meet goals of increased game hunting opportunities.
B. Objectives
Restore game populations at the Kekaha and Wailua Game Management Areas, Forest Reserves, and
Cooperative Hunting Areas through the control of non-native predators.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The reduction in numbers of non-native predators and subsequent increase in game populations will
improve harvest success and hunter experience. Reducing predation by 50%, would potentially double the
recruitment of young birds. The increased chick survival is expected to result in an additional harvest of
700 game birds per year and additional 600 hunter -days of recreation, a substantial increase in wildlife
recreational hunting opportunities

Project 15 W-26-GH-01 Game Habitat Management: Hawaii County - East
Hawaii District
A. Need
Game bird habitat in game management areas is degraded by the dense growth of alien vegetation.
Himalayan Raspberry, Gorse, Faya bush, Madagascar ragwort, guinea grass and other invasive plants
decrease available habitat. Control of these vegetation types will reduce competition and provide better
forage and cover for game birds.
B. Objectives
28
• Improve game bird habitat annually by clearing 70 acres of dense and otherwise undesirable
introduced vegetation in the Kapapala cooperative hunting area.
• Annually clear and plant, up to 5 acres food plots for game birds in the Kapapala Ranch
Cooperative GMA, and maintain livestock watering sites to take advantage of cattle grazing to
maintain desired vegetation stages.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
This project will improve at least 70 acres per year of wildlife habitat degraded by undesirable growth in
the Kapapala CGMA and will clear and plant five (5) acres in the area. The game bird habitat
improvement is expected to encourage game birds by 15 to 20% per year. Additionally, enclosure fences
around cleared areas and control of livestock water in cooperation with ranch mangagement will direct
the grazing activities of ungulates and create a desired edge effect for game birds. These activities are
expected to eventually double the carrying capacity for game birds and reduce the threat of total habitat
destruction by wildfire from fuel overload.
D. Approach.
Mature, dense stands of fayae bush and guava will be cut and the stumps poisoned by trained technicians
in Kapapala Ranch CGMA. Once removed, cleared areas are managed to maintain desirable vegetation
stages by mowing, select herbicide, planting and grazing cattle. Managed cattle grazing can be an
effective method to maintain habitat with minimal use of manpower and equipment. In areas where
managed grazing is not practical, game bird habitat will be maintained by mowing, and controlled burns.
Cleared patches will be planted with food crops and areas fenced to control cattle overgrazing.

Project 16 W-26-GH-02 Game Habitat Management: Hawaii County - West
Hawaii District
A. Need
Food, water and cover are all important elements of habitat management for game species. Goals for
upland game bird habitat management are based on providing and improving these three resources.
Typically, upland game birds in the West Hawaii District occur in early successional habitats and/or
open canopy forests. This is because most gallinaceous bird species rely on walking and running for
general movement over flying. As such, habitat that is easy for them to move through will reduce
predation from predators using dense cover for ambush. The management techniques to increase
ground mobility of upland game birds include mowing, prescribed burns, and utilizing livestock
29
grazing. Native outplanting activities in upland fenced exclosures will provide increased quality of
game bird habitat. Weed control activities in these fenced units will reduce cover for predators and
increase the success of established outplant populations. Mowing and prescribed burns, when used
properly, can also provide food opportunities by making seeds and invertebrates more accessible and
also encouraging new plant growth outside of large fenced exclosures. Invertebrates can be an
important food source especially for juveniles when a high protein diet is essential for growth and
development. For food the planting of crops (i.e., legumes, forbs, etc.) can be beneficial but also costly.
Water, especially during drought conditions, can be a limiting factor of habitat for the game species.
The construction of water units is covered under game facilities construction. The lack of sufficient
cover for upland game birds is not as limiting as other habitat constraints. Overall, upland game bird
habitat management in the Western District includes mowing, researching the usage of prescribed
burns, establishing food plots where appropriate, and outplanting native trees and shrubs to provide
food and cover for both game and non- game species.
As noted under the West Hawaii Population Management section, it is anticipated that during
the next five year cycle a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) will be implemented in Puu Waawaa
Forest Reserve and Puu Anahulu GMA. This HCP will allow the State to perform habitat
improvements for game mammals, including creating and maintaining food and cover plots. When
appropriate, these management activities will be utilized to improve game mammal habitat.
B. Objectives
• Work to alleviate habitat loss in degraded public hunting areas through tree and shrub
plantings in the Kaohe GMA and Puu Anahulu GMA.
• Initiate habitat improvements for game birds, including mowing and establishing food plots
in areas outside of large exclosures, most hospitable to game, using non-invasive plants.
• Initiate outplanting of native plant species, for increased quality of game bird habitat, up to
1000 plants per year.
• Support livestock grazing where appropriate to maintain game bird habitat.
• Reduce fire threat to game bird habitat plot areas in Puu Anahulu GMA.
• Create or maintain game mammal food and cover plots in Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve and
Puu Anahulu GMA
C. Expected Results and Benefits
This project will improve annually at least 15 acres of wildlife habitat degraded by undesirable
growth in the Kaohe GMA and begin to alleviate habitat loss. These activities are expected to
increase the carrying capacity for game birds and reduce the threat of catastrophic habitat
destruction by wildfire. Species of shrub/trees planted will provide additional fruit and berries for game
birds. Exclosures are to be constructed in Puu Anahulu GMA and Puu Waawaa FR to improve game bird
habitat. areas.
D. Approach
• Annually plant up to 1000 shrub/tree seedlings in select areas.
• Construct planting exclosures (2-3 acres) 1-2 per year in degraded habitat to initiate
habitat improvements for game species.
• Strip mow 30 acres of game habitat per year.
• Create game habitat and food plots (10ac/yr.)

A. Need
The increased use by the public hunter coupled with the loss of public hunting lands within Maui County
has placed greater demand on the remaining public lands for hunting. One means of keeping up with the
per capita use of a given areas is by increasing the game bird species carrying capacity of the remaining
areas through habitat management and manipulation.
B. Objectives
• Annually clear and maintain 50-100 acres of brush and undesirable vegetation at the Kahakuloa
GMA and Kanaio GMA in order to improve and provide habitat for doves, francolins, quail,
chukar and pheasants. Bi-annually mow 1,000 acres of game bird habitat in unit 3 of the Lanai
CGMA, which will create desirable habitat for pheasants, turkeys, doves, and francolins.
• Increase game bird habitat by planting desirable vegetation that will serve both for foraging and
cover in the Kanaio GMA.
• Seed collection used to propagate plants for eventual outplanting.
C. Expected Results
• To provide an additional 600 hunter days and harvest of 750 game birds.

Project 18 W-26-GH-04 Game Habitat Management: Honolulu County
A. Need
Habitat management is necessary in the Kuaokala GMA to improve the feeding, nesting and loafing
habitat for game birds. Much of the area is in need of restoration due to a history of inappropriate range
management and generally poor soil and weather conditions. The plant species present are dominated by
non-native grass species, which provide little food value for game birds unless carefully managed. These
grasses grow in dense stands, which offer cover around the edges, but are little utilized because their high
density restricts game bird movement, feeding, and loafing.
B. Objectives
• Seeds of local tree species will be collected for propagation and outplanted when appropriate.
Stands of native plants will be protected and enhanced by eliminating non-native weeds. Site
surveys to locate threatened and endangered plants will be conducted prior to habitat
management site selection and vegetation clearing. Threatened and endangered plants will be
fenced and excluded from game habitat improvement areas.
• Invasive brush and weeds will be targeted for removal in geographically flat areas. Grasses and
brush will be controlled by mowing in cleared areas. Feed sources will be established with food
plots in areas most hospitable to game birds. Where appropriate, Paspalum grass, sorghum, corn
32
and/or millet will be planted to provide plants that provide food and cover for game birds.
Grazing will be done on a rotational basis to control grasses in areas that cannot be mowed.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
To increase the number of game birds at the Kuaokala GMA in order to provide
hunting for 700 hunters per season, with a harvest of 300 birds
D. Approach
• Strip mow fields to enhance gamebird habitat at Kuaokala GMA (15 ac/year)
• Pruchase of parts, supplies or to pay for machinery and equipment repair, hauling
services to move machinery, rental of machinery,
• Outplant native trees to aid in vegetation management (50 trees/year)
• Purchase of plants, planting tools, protection, irrigation equipment, to establish plants
preffered to gamebirds.
• Create or maintain food plot (1 acre/year)
• Purchase plants, seeds, tools to establish vegeative food plots, prucahse fencing and
tools to maintain protective barriers.
• Create gamebird habitat (1 ac/year)
• Rental of machinery or repair of machinery used to create new habitat by removing
noxioius weeds.

Project 19 W-26-GH-05 Game Habitat Management: Kauai County
A. Need
Game habitat improvements are needed on selected portions of the Kekaha and Wailua Game
Management Areas, Hunting Unit L — Cooperative Management Area to enhance game populations,
primarily game birds. Plans are to accelerate habitat enhancement for the control of invasive plant species
such as Molasses grass (Milinis minuti ora), Bushy Beards Schizachyrium condensatum) and
33
Melastoma (Melastoma candidum) which can be restored to excellent game bird habitat by mowing,
clearing and planting with beneficial grasses such as Bahia grass Pas alum notatum), and Bermuda grass
( ynodon dac lon). Game bird productivity and access for hunters to harvest game birds has been
hampered by this weedy overgrowth. Planting and maintaining fruit trees within the Kekaha GMA will
also help supplement feed for game production.
B. Objective
• Clear, in contour strips, a total of 50 acres (10 acres per year) of undesirable vegetation.
• Plant with Bahia grass and/or Bermuda grass within Kekaha and Wailua GMAs and Hunting Unit
L — Cooperative Management Area.
• 1000 acres (200acres/year) of in house staff strip mowing of undesireables
• 15 acres (3 acres/year) of fences fruit trees
C. Expected Results and Benefits
Planned strip mowing, clearing and planting is expected to improve game bird productivity and survival
by doubling the available nesting and feeding habitat. It also is expected to improve access for hunters to
areas currently overgrown with impenetrable weed growth. This improvement will also reduce the
chance of catastrophic brush fires by creating fire breaks within dense stands of flash fuels within Kekaha
and Wailua GMAs and Hunting Unit L- Cooperative Management Area
D. Approach
Habitat areas will be cleared by bulldozing, harrowing and/or mowing on 50 to 100 foot wide contour
strips, and planted with Bahia grass and/or Bermuda grass. A portion of this job will be by State contract
following procurement guidelines and rules due to limited in-house resources to complete the job on time.
Mowing will be done with in-house staff operating tractors and 15-20 foot pull -behind mowers. Fruit
trees seedlings will be bought, planted and maintained in fenced in areas around the Kekaha and Wailua

recreational hunting, such as game bird water units, signs and markers, hunter check stations, game bird
holding pens, game bird feeder units and additional fencing. Expansion of the Lanai Cooperative Game
Management Area (Unit 3) also creates a need for additional facilities.
B. Objective
36
• Establish two (2) hunter check station in the Kanaio Game Management Area to obtain
distribution of hunters and hunter usage, and harvest data.
• Construct game bird guzzler units on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.
• Construct game bird holding pens and establish game bird feed stations on Maui.
• Construct gates to prevent illegal entry into areas.
• Establish new signs and or markers within current and potentially new public hunting areas to
ensure hunter compliance and promote better management.
C. Expected Results
• Establishment of new hunter check stations will result in increased awareness of hunter usage and
data on hunter harvest of game birds and game mammals.
• The construction of water units are expected to enhance game bird chick survival and increase the
carrying capacity for game birds in the area.
• The construction of game bird holding pens will ensure greater game bird chick survival and the
establishment of dedicated game bird feeders will ensure year round forage for game bird adults
and chicks
• Signs and markers will promote better management and utilization of public hunting areas within
Maui County and ensure hunter compliance.
D. Approach
• Two (2) hunter check stations, built on footings, will be constructed at two (2) primary entrances
in the newly established Kanaio Game Management Area on the island of Maui (FYI 8). On
Maui, eight (8) storage type water units will be constructed in the newly established Kanaio
GMA (FY 18, 19, 20 and 21). On Lanai, two (2) water units, fed by a main water source, will be
constructed (FYI 8 and 21). In FYI 7, a water unit will be constructed on the island of Molokai.
• Two (2) game bird holding pens will be constructed on the island of Maui, one (1) in FY 18 and
one (I) in FY19. These pens will hold pen raised chicks prior to their release into the wild.
Acclimating themselves to the surround habitat will potentially ensure that birds will remain in
the area and increase overall abundance.
• One game bird feed station will be established each year between FY 18 and FY21 to ensure year
round forage for game birds.
Potential construction sites will be inspected for native plant species and located to avoid impact to listed
species. Site surveys will be conducted prior to building water units and fences in order to lessen the
impact of the facilities on listed species.

Project 24 W-27-GF-05 Game Facilities Construction: Kauai
A. Need
The newly built Kokee Hunter Checking Station's plumbing will need a water catchment tank, water
pump and septic system to be installed. The Kokee hunter checking station services more than eight
hunting management units on west Kauai. The building will be able to accommodate two wildlife
personnel during scheduled hunting seasons and regular working days. The hunter check station is also
used as a command post when there are fires in the Kokee area.
The fence line along the western section of the Kekaha GMA will need to be replaced after more than
forty years. The fence was maintained for cattle ranching operations by the former Kekaha Sugar
Company, which dissolved in 2000 leaving behind remnant cattle and seven miles of fence. Prior to
2000, Kekaha Sugar Company leased portions of the Kekaha GMA from the State. The existing fence is
adjacent to the Maria lowlands being used for diversified agriculture. The new fence will need to be
upgraded to seven feet high to keep deer from jumping over it. Along the fence, a service route will need
to be made for maintenance. Up to a half a mile of new fence per year will need to be constructed to
finish the job in ten years.
The newly established Hunting Unit L — Cooperative Management Area located on former Kekaha sugar
cane lands will require fencing portions of the range to reduce crop depredation by game animals. The
cooperative agreement with the Agribusiness Development Corporation - State Department of Agriculture
(ADC) allows the DLNR-DOFAW to assist in game animal population control through public hunting.
Construction of new or replacement of old gamebird water units are needed in the Kekaha GMA and
Hunting Unit L. New low -maintenance water units systems will be installed.
The establishment of two new hunter access routes and parking areas in Hunting Unit C of Lihue-Koloa
and Moloa'a Forest Reserves are needed to increase hunting pressure and provide more hunting
opportunities.
B. Objectives
• Plan, design and install the plumbing system at the Kokee hunter checking station.
• Plan and construct up to 1 mile of fence and access road along the western boundary of the
Kekaha GMA per year.
39
• Plan and construct up to 1 mile of fence in Hunting Unit L — Cooperative Management Area per
year.
• Protect remnant endangered plants in highly degraded habitats from ungulate damage by
constructing fenced exclosures, allowing for sustained yield hunting in surrounding areas.
• Post appropriate informational signs and markers to effectively manage hunting areas.
• Construct or replace 25 water units (5units/year) for gamebird use.
• Plan, design and contruct two hunter access routes and parking area in Hunting Unit C — Lihue-
Koloa and Moloa'a Forest Reserves, Kauai.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The installation of the plumbing system at the Kokee Hunter Checking Station will allow for more
sanitary and healthy working environment for wildlife personnel.
The construction of the hunting area fence lines and maintenance route will greatly reduce crop damage to
local farmers and improve hunter access.
Exclosure fences will protect isolated threatened and endangered plants from feral animals, yet enable
hunters to utilize the game resources in highly degraded habitats. Appropriate signs will facilitate
management of hunters in hunting areas.
The construction and/or replacement of water units will result in less maintenance time for staff and more
water available for gamebirds in drier times.
D. Approach
All planning, designing and installation of the plumbing system at the Kokee Hunter Checking Station
will be contracted to a qualified vendor.
Portions of the fence construction may also be contracted to a private vendor. Other sections of the fence
job will be done through in-house personnel.
Three hundred informational, boundary and safety zone signs and markers (80 per year) will be posted. A
total of 0.2 miles of fencing will be used to create small exclosures to protect threatened and endangered
plants within GMA's and forest reserves, to enable continued hunting while protecting endangered plants.
New and replacement gamebird water units will be purchased and installed by in—house staff
The development of the environmental assessments for the new hunter access routes and parking areas
will be contracted a qualified vendor. Portions of the assessment including the flora and fauna surveys
will be done by staff botanist and wildlife biologist. Actual construction will be done using a
combination of in-house operators and equipment and contract vendors.

Project 25 W-28-GS-01 Game Surveys and Inventories (Game Mammal): Hawaii
County - East Hawaii District
A. Need
Public hunting pressure has increased in recent years as more hunters compete for the same resources
in fewer hunting areas. The purpose of surveys is to document long term population trends to
facilitate management through the regulation of bag limits. This is in order to enhance hunting
opportunities, maintain sustained yield in appropriate areas, and reduce game mammal population
levels in areas designated for protection. Another need is to monitor the impacts of feral game
mammals on range quality and determine movements of feral pigs in and around sensitive native
wildlife and plant habitats. This information is necessary to ensure that game mammal hunting is
conducted to balance recreational opportunities with conservation and restoration of rare and
endangered native species. Feral cattle control has recently been offered to hunters and met with
tremendous interest. This is expected to continue.
B. Objectives
• Determine the distribution, population densities, reproductive success, status, and trends of
game mammals on the island of Hawaii.
• Monitor habitat condition and assess game mammal carrying capacity in PHA's
• Determine game mammal hunter pressure and success, and the effects of hunting on game
distribution and numbers.
• Survey new areas for additions to game management areas and expand cattle control efforts.
• Monitor diseases and parasitism in game mammals
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The data collected at hunter check -in stations, and surveys of game mammal populations will be
combined with information from previous years to provide a basis for management, development,
maintenance actions, and proposals for research involving game mammals and their habitat. The
information produced will be used to assess and adjust hunting regulations such as seasons, bag limits,
days, and means of take. Application of the recommendations will maximize wildlife recreation
opportunities while insuring compatibility with forest and wildlife management objectives.
D. Approach
Quantitative information on game mammal populations, distribution, reproductive success and impact
on habitat as well as hunter effort and success will be gathered annually. Game mammal survey will
be conducted. These surveys include methods for particular species which have been developed to
monitor populations or indices of abundance. Surveys include aerial censuses using fixed winged
aircraft or helicopter, strip or total area counts on the ground, density indices based upon the
occurrence of spoor correlated to habitat type. Diseases and parasites of game mammals and game
birds will be monitored as necessary in coordination with the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture.

Project 27 W-28-GS-03 Game Surveys and Inventories (Game Mammal):
Maui County.
A. Need
With an ever increasing public demand for recreational game mammal hunting on Maui and Molokai,
coupled with the previous loss of lands available for hunting, the quality and quantity of the hunt is
declining. A continued influx of the environmentally minded seeking the wonders of the outdoors has
placed additional demands on game mammal habitats.
Data on the trends of game mammal populations will be obtained through the collection of hunter harvest
information and annual aerial surveys. Hunter checking stations will provide information on hunting
pressure and animal harvest. This information is needed to provide hunters with harvest information on
the hunts and ensure proper game management.
B. Objective
• To collect harvest data to determine game mammal trends and to provide hunters with
information related to game mammal management.
• Conduct aerial surveys to monitor population increases or decreases.
43
• Transects to determine/evaluate levels of disturbance by feral pigs
C. Expected Results and Benefits

County.
A. Need
Data on the status and trends of game mammal populations and the condition of their habitats are
needed to manage these populations effectively and to maximize recreational hunting opportunities,
while assuring compatibility with other forest and wildlife management objectives. Information on
hunter effort and success is needed to assess game mammal population trends. Habitat surveys are
needed to assess game mammal habitat conditions, the status of watershed quality and condition, and
the effects these introduced animals may be having on native vegetation communities. Management of
control hunts in areas that are not designated PHAs are based on ungulate disturbances, nuisance
complaints, and native species protection. The control hunts are managed to reduce the number
ungulates in the areas.
44
B. Objectives
• Hunter participation and game harvest information will be collected on a monthly basis from
12 hunter check -in stations Effort and success data will also be collected by surveying
individual hunters in the field or over the phone, and by working with the local hunters
associations and clubs. This information will be used to manage needs of game program,
identify areas of improvements, and obtain overall usage of Hunting Areas.
• Aerial surveys will be conducted to obtain trends in populations of feral goats where they are
found on the Island. They will be conducted via elevation transects in the Makua-Keaau and
Waianae Kai PHAs. Control hunt data will determine the conditions and stipulations of permits
issued to ensure that ungulates are being controlled. Control will be based on decreasing hunter
effort/catch. A downward trend will indicate a reduction in populations. Permits and access
will be issued relative to this data.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
Information collected on hunter effort and success will be used to assess game mammal population
trends and will provide data on which to base recommendations for hunting seasons, which maximize
hunting recreation opportunities while ensuring protection of watersheds and native vegetation.
Habitat survey results will be used to assess game mammal habitat, quantify the status of watershed
conditions in public hunting areas, and the measure the effects that game animals may be having on
native vegetation communities.

County
A. Need
Measurement of game mammal population trends, habitat conditions and the levels of hunting pressure
are needed to effectively manage the game resources for sustained yield hunting where it is appropriate,
45
and to protect native ecosystems. Measurements of hunting pressure, in terms of hunter trips made, total
game killed, and hunter success are needed to gauge the effectiveness of the public hunting program for
supplying the demand for recreational hunting on those lands designated for sustained yield hunting, and
to protect native flora, fauna and their habitats from damage caused by feral ungulates in areas designated
for native ecosystem protection. Without the collection of this information, rational game mammal
management decisions cannot be made that will achieve the various mandates of the DOFAW.
B. Objectives
• Measure the population status and trends of feral pigs, feral goats and black -tailed deer on areas
under the control and management of DOFAW, to assure maximum recreational opportunity
where it is appropriate, and to minimize animal damage to intact native ecosystems where they
occur.
• Measure the conditions and trends of feral pig, feral goat and black -tailed deer on Kauai's public
lands to protect sustained yield game habitat from being over -used, and to protect native
ecosystems from damage.
• Collect and analyze the levels of hunting pressure, harvest of feral pigs, feral goats and black -
tailed deer on Kauai's public hunting lands as a measure of the success of recreational hunting
program, and to identify areas in need of intensified hunting pressure for the protection of rare
native species and their habitats.
• Analyze the data collected for use in making recommendations for hunting seasons and bag limits
to ensure maximum recreational benefits are realized in appropriate areas, while providing for
the protection of native ecosystems and threatened and endangered flora and fauna in other areas.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The information collected will provide the necessary information on which to base recommendations for
game mammal hunting seasons. It will enable DOFAW to attain the maximum recreational benefit in
those lands designated for sustained yield hunting, and protect to the best degree possible, through the use
of liberal public hunting seasons, those areas that have significant native resources that need protection.
The information collected will be used to monitor long term habitat conditions trends that will be useful
for addressing long term actions and priorities in ecosystem management.
Feral goat populations in Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast will be surveyed during the spring
months using the previously established helicopter contours method. Black -tailed deer and feral pig
population estimates and densities will be assessed by analyzing the results of the annual browse survey
transects, and through evaluation of hunter success ratios in the annual hunting season results.
D. Approach
Hunter checking stations will be maintained throughout game mammal hunting seasons, to collect
information on total number of hunter trips made, and numbers and species of game mammals taken in
each hunting unit.
Game habitat conditions will be monitored at the previously established transects and game range
exclosures in the Puu Ka Pele and Na Pali -Kona Forest Reserves and the Na Pali Coast State Park. New
transects will be established in other portions of the forest reserves to determine the level of habitat use
and the presence of new alien weed species. Photo stations will be re -visited and re -photographed to
record long term and broad scale vegetational changes that are not necessarily related to animal impacts.
W.
Recommendations will be made for hunting season and bag limit changes where necessary to maximize
recreational hunting opportunity in those land zoned for sustained yield hunting, or to minimize habitat
damage in those areas zoned for protection of native ecosystems and threatened and rare plants.

opportunities. Analysis of hunting effort and success and population survey data will provide
50
information on species distribution and abundance, habitat trends in game bird hunting areas and the
effectiveness of habitat management programs.
B. Objectives
• Game birds will be surveyed byline transect methods and mapping of individual birds. The
surveys will be conducted on three miles of roads in the Kuaokala GMA and Makua Keaau
PHA.
• Hunter effort and success in the Kuaokala GMA and the Mokuleia and Makua Keaau PHA's
will be determined using check in data.
• Hunter participation and game bird harvest information will be collected during the game bird
season (Nov- Jan).
• Effort and success data will also be collected by surveying individual hunters in the field or over
the phone, and by working with the local hunters associations and clubs.
• Checking station data will be analyzed to determine hunter effort and success.
• Habitat assessments will be made based on vegetation type and
condition.
C. Expected Results and Benefits
The surveys will provide data on game bird population distribution, trends, and limiting factors, which
can be used as a basis for wildlife management actions. Habitat survey results will be used regulate
hunter pressure on game bird populations.
D. Approach
• Monitor game bird distribution and abundance in public hunting and game management areas
on Oahu (2x/year).
• Determine hunter effort and success in the Kuaokala GMA and Mokuleia and Makua Keaau
PHA's by analyzing check station data (12x/year).
• Survey and interview hunters for information and feedback on hunting conditions (16x/year)
E. Location
Kuaokala, Mokuleia and Makua Keaau PHA's, Oahu
Project 34 W-28-GS-05: Game Bird Surveys and Inventories (Game Bird):
Kauai County
A. Need
The monitoring of game bird populations, their habitats, and levels of hunting pressure are needed to
effectively manage the resources for maximum public benefit. Measurements of hunting pressure, in
terms of hunter trips made, and hunter success ratios are needed to measure the effectiveness of recent
habitat improvements and management actions. The newly established Hunting Unit L — Cooperative
51
Management Area adds 5,000 acres of former sugar cane lands for public hunting. The new hunting unit
requires additional surveying effort.
B. Objectives
• Conduct pre -season surveys to measure the status of game populations and forecast the hunting
season.
• Man hunter checking stations to gather data on gamebird harvest, and input from gamebird
hunters.
• Compile monthly harvest to obtain the number of gamebirds harvested by species, hunter effort
measured by hours spent in the field, and hunter success ratio measured by the number of
gamebirds harvested per hunter trip.
C. Expected Results and Benefits.
The information collected will measure the effectiveness of habitat development projects and hunting
season management in meeting our annual harvest goal of 1.0 game bird per hunter trip in Kauai public
hunting areas.
D. Approach.
Gamebird hunter checking stations will be maintained throughout the game bird hunting season to collect
information on total hunter trips made, hours hunted, and the numbers and species of game birds taken in
each area. Data will be analyzed to measure hunting pressure, hunter success, and species composition
for each area. Pre -hunting season surveys will be made in game management areas with volunteers and
their bird dogs to determine relative game bird availability. Hunting season recommendations and habitat
management decisions will be based upon the results of those surveys.
E. Location
The projects will be conducted in the Kekaha and Wailua GMAs, Unit L — Cooperative Management
Area and State forest reserves on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.

I. DOFAW Game Management Guidelines
To formulate and use a consistent philosophy for game management priorities and actions by DOFAW,
and to make those known to agency personnel, partners, and the general public, the Division has
developed a set of working guidelines for game management policy on DOFAW managed lands. The
guidelines recognize and prioritize the importance and sustainability of native ecosystems. They are
intended to provide administrative policy direction and prioritize resource management activities based
on the integrity of existing natural resources. The guidelines were developed through meetings held with
the public, cooperating agencies, and researchers and provide a mechanism for public and agency
interaction that improves the understanding of our management programs by the community, other
agencies and policy makers. The basis of DOFAW's Resource Management Guidelines is the status of
the native vegetation in an area. The character of the vegetation is classified as: "Most Pristine Native",
"Predominantly Native", "Considerably Disturbed", or "Badly Degraded or Highly Altered". The
vegetation status is then considered in conjunction with public safety, public demand for specific
resources, and the effect of the proposed use on the vegetation. Potential game management strategies
have been divided into four categories, called Game Animal Management Classifications. These are:
Game Production. Game is a primary objective. Areas are managed for public hunting on a sustained
Yield basis. Habitat may be manipulated for the purpose of increasing or maintaining the game carrying
capacity of the habitat. Hunting seasons and bag limits are set to provide sustained public hunting
opportunities and benefits. Some of the GMA's are in this class.
Mixed Game and Other Uses. Production of game is an objective integrated with other uses such as
hiking, production of forest products, and protection of native resources. Game populations are managed to
acceptable levels using public hunting. Habitat manipulation for game enhancement may be conducted, but
only when it is consistent with other uses. Seasons and bag limits are designed to ensure compatibility with
other uses. These areas include portions of forest reserves and some GMA's.
Game Control. Protection of resources is the primary objective, with emphasis on native plant community
and watershed protection. Hunting is used to reduce animal impacts to those resources. Bag limits or
seasons are liberal. These areas include watershed areas, portions of forest reserves, Natural Area Reserves,
and wilderness preserves.
Staff Control. Areas designated for animal removal by staff or agency designees because of remoteness,
environmental sensitivity, or public safety. Game mammal control is the objective. Control actions can
include but are not limited to staff shooting or animal translocation.
93
These 79 areas include portions of forest reserves, Natural Area Reserves, wilderness reserves, and plant
and wildlife sanctuaries. Under DOFAW's Resource Management Guidelines, maintaining game bird
populations is considered compatible with other uses in most areas. Game birds are managed for
"Game Production" or "Mixed Game and Other Uses" in most areas. Because of potential detrimental
effects of game mammals on native ecosystems, management strategy for game mammals is more
complex. Areas managed for game mammal production, i.e. "Game Production", are located
primarily in areas classified as "Badly Degraded or Highly Altered". These areas have a
preponderance of weedy species, contain very few native plants, and are managed to produce game
animals for recreational hunting. Under this management approach, known individuals or populations
of listed plants are fenced or otherwise protected from feral ungulates. Areas classified as
"Predominantly Native" and "Considerably Disturbed" are managed as "Mixed Game and Other
Uses" for game mammals and have seasons and bag limits designed to ensure compatibility with
other uses, including native ecosystem protection. Areas classified as "Most Pristine Native" are
managed for "Game Control or Staff Control" and have the most liberal hunting seasons to minimize
the pressure of feral animals on native ecosystems.
The following maps provide guidelines for each island with management categories described as
follow:
• A-1: Game Production Game is a primary objective in these areas. Hunting seasons and bag
limits provide maximal sustained public hunting opportunities and benefits. Areas include
Game Management Areas.
• A-2: Mixed Game and Other Uses In these areas game management is an objective
integrated with other uses. Habitat may be manipulated for game enhancement. Game
populations are managed to acceptable levels using public hunting.
A-3: Game Control (public) In these areas resource protection is the primary objective,
with emphasis on native plant communities and watersheds. Seasons and bag limits are
designed for public hunting to reduce impacts to native resources.
• A-4: Game Control (supervised) These areas are designated for animal removal by staff or
agency designees because of environmental sensitivity, remoteness, or public

III. Federal Assistance Section 7 Evaluation Forms
In developing these game management projects, precautions have been taken to evaluate potential
impacts to threatened and endangered species and to incorporate measures that will protect listed
species that may be affected by project activities. Hawaii currently has 503 species listed as
threatened or endangered, an additional 49 proposed or candidate species under consideration for
listing (See Appendix II for a list of endangered and threatened species found on the various Islands
throughout the State). A Federal Assistance Assessment (Section 7 Evaluation Form) has been
completed by the State Federal Aid Coordinator for each project to identify potential impacts and,
where needed, incorporate additional measures that the State will take to avoid impacts or ensure that
listed species are identified and protected.
The Division believes that Findings of "No Effect" or "Not Likely To Adversely Affect Listed
Species" are warranted for the project activities in this grant package. The following considerations and
mitigation measures were factors in reaching those findings.
1. The majority of the activities carried out under this program are routine, ongoing and located in
disturbed areas with no or very few listed species. Improvements are located to avoid impacts to listed
species during construction and use.
2. A small portion of the State's Federal Aid PR Program is dedicated to Nongame/Endangered
Species wildlife activities that directly benefit and enhance listed species.
3. Many of the Game Management Program activities benefit and enhance listed species. For
example, predator control and water unit development for game birds also benefit nene in many
areas. Roads, trails and facilities developed or maintained in remote areas increase hunter pressure
which help control game mammals.
4. DOFAW's Draft Resource Management Guidelines and distribution maps of listed species were used
as planning tools in developing game management project activities and in assessing potential impacts to
listed species in completing the State's portion of the Section 7 Assessments. The major focus of the
game enhancement program utilizing Federal funds is for game birds, which involves activities that are
unlikely to adversely affect listed species.
5. Program activities that might enhance game mammal populations have been purposefully
designed, and specific mitigation actions recommended, in order to avoid negatively affecting listed
species. Program activities that do enhance game mammal populations are done in "Game
Production" areas and these projects include a commitment to identify and protect any listed species in the
area that are at risk from game mammals.
6. Where there is a potential for adverse impacts to listed species, DOFAW has included actions to
mitigate impacts such as fencing endangered plants, creation of "No Hunting" safety zones for nene, and
educational materials for hunters to increase their awareness of endangered species that may be found in
public hunting areas.
