Episode 19 : Former Kauai GMAC Commissioner Robert Cremer Jr.Robert Cremer Jr., the former Kauai representative on the Hawaii State Game Management Advisory Commission ("GMAC"), joins the podcast and we discuss the GMAC.  Issues like loss of hunting areas and challenges to establish game management for public hunting are discussed.

I'm joined by Jake Brooks on the podcast.  We share a recent hunt for Axis Deer on the island of Lanai.

In this solo episode I touch on public sheep hunting opportunities in Hawaii.  I also go into the situation surrounding efforts to protect wild sheep futures in Hawaii.  I really feel the latter portion of this episode is something all public hunters in Hawaii need to hear as it affects their future.

I'm joined by Roi Tanimoto on our experience of the 2019 Redding Western Classic Trail Shoot.  It is the largest 3D archery tournament in the world attracting over 1600 archers from across the world annually.  Aside from the archery tourney, I cover some recent events with the Hawaii State Game Management Advisory Commission in seeking a target population management basis.

We cover the 2019 Hawaii State Lanai Axis Deer Hunt for does. I’m joined by some of my closest hunting friends, Grant Kow, Riley DeMattos, Jake Silva, and Jeff Malavong.  We all tagged on at least one doe each and had quite the usual annual adventure.  From getting stuck in the mud, me losing something every day there, a recap of each tag taken, and just good banter among the boys.
