Game Management Advisory Commission

The Game Management Advisory Commission advises the Division of Forestry and Wildlife within the Department of Land and Natural Resources on the management of game animals in Hawaii, including deer, pigs, goats, and game birds. It makes recommendations on hunting seasons, bag limits, public hunting area regulations, and wildlife population management strategies. The commission balances hunting access with conservation of native ecosystems.

Hunters and outdoor recreation enthusiasts in Hawaii have a direct stake in the commission's decisions about where, when, and how much game can be harvested. Native plant and wildlife advocates also engage because ungulate populations heavily impact Hawaii's native forests.
