RELATING TO THE WILDLIFE REVOLVING FUNDFISCAL YEAR 2015
PURPOSEThe goal of the Wildlife Revolving Fund (WRF) is to provide funds to manage andenhance public hunting opportunities in Hawai‘i. Act 290, Session Laws of Hawai‘i 1991,
amended Section 183D-10.5, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS) by adding a requirement foran annual report to be prepared by the Department of Land and Natural Resources(Department) on the status of the Wildlife Revolving Fund (WRF) and transmitted to theLegislature no later than twenty days prior to each regular session. The report is to include:
1. The source and application of monies deposited into the fund, including a description of
the criteria and process used to determine funding priorities;
2. A description of programs and activities supported by the fund;
3. A summary of program highlights and accomplishments; and4. A description of future program plans, including specific goals and objectives.
FUNDS
Section 183D-10.5 (b), HRS, provides that the following proceeds shall be retainedby or transmitted to the Department for deposit in the WRF: fees for hunting licenses,
game bird farmer and Commercial Hunting Preserve licenses and fees, hunting guide
licenses, hunter education training programs and use of public target ranges, fines collected
for hunting or wildlife law violations, bail forfeitures, sale of articles required before
hunting, and related works of art. For fiscal year 2015 (FY 15), the major source ofrevenue was hunting license sales. Sources of revenues are detailed below:
Revenue continues to be low due to an appellate court ruling on December 31, 2007
which had the effect of suspending sales of the Wildlife Conservation Stamp, the Game
Bird Stamp, and all tags and application fees for special hunts. Revenue did not meet the
Department’s authorized budget ceiling for the WRF of $572,088. New expenditures
totaled $170,534. The cash balance at the end of FY 15 amounted to $56,440, withoutstanding encumbrances of $16,543. Revenues will gradually increase with in the
Wildlife Revolving fund in the new fiscal year as the sales of Conservation Stamps, Game
Bird Stamps, Tags, and applications fees may now be collected for the FY 2016 hunting
season.

FUNDING PRIORITIESThe WRF has been an important portion of the overall budget to meet obligations ofstate match and operating and salary expenses for game and wildlife projects. Because themajor sources of revenue for the WRF come from direct charges to hunters, priority isgiven to expenditures which benefit this user group. A formal hunting rule change has been
conducted and approved therefore the sale of stamps, game tags, and application fee may beassessed to hunters by species, area, and season chosen to hunt. The new hunting rules are
now in effect and a revenue increase is anticipated for the WRF for fiscal year 2016.
In budgeting for the WRF, a policy of allotting at least 85% of the budget for thehunting program has been in place and followed. Up to 15% of the budget may be used for
nongame and wildlife sanctuary management, for projects that may have dual benefits togame species and nongame species. Typical examples are the predator and weed control
efforts to benefit game birds in the Kapapala Cooperative Game Management Area

3

(CGMA) and the Kīpuka ‘Āinahou Nēnē Sanctuary on the Big Island, which also benefit
nēnē.
Section 183D-10.5(e), HRS, also requires that the state first use WRF monies to"maximize the state's participation to secure federal funds under the Pittman-Robertson
Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act.” Consequently, a priority was given to those
expenditures that provided the state match for Pittman-Robertson (PR) projects.
The allocation of operating funds to the Division of Forestry and Wildlife’s(DOFAW’s) Branch Offices was done on a lump sum basis to be used on eligible projects.
With the decline in hunting fee revenue, the funding available for salaries has been
reduced and all recruitment for WRF positions has been frozen. The operating funds wereallotted to the Branches based on the respective Branch wildlife program size andcomplexity, and amount of revenue generated from license fees. Discussions among
wildlife staff has continued on the possible conversion of WRF-supported General Laborers
to Forestry & Wildlife Technicians, but became a moot point with substantial loss of funds
in previous years. Due to a projected revenue increase with the sales of stamps and tags forthe upcoming fiscal year these discussions may now continue.
PROCESS USED1.

The Department’s Fiscal Office and DOFAW coordinated to determine the amountof the Fund available for allocation to DOFAW’s Branch Offices.

2.

At the beginning of each fiscal year, a portion of the WRF budget is allocated toeach DOFAW Branch Office, to Honolulu Administrative Staff for Statewide
projects and to the Hunter Education Program of the Department’s Division ofConservation and Resource Enforcement. A portion of the funds are allocated for
temporary personnel to maintain wildlife program functions, and to pay budgeted
add-on salary costs to assist with wildlife projects.

3.

Each Branch Office collaborates in the development of the overall annual WRF
budget, to benefit the resources and resource users, all within the criteria ofcompliance with the purpose of the WRF and the necessity to provide state-match
requirements for PR projects.

4.

An emphasis was placed on using WRF for essential expenditures to provide
support for public hunting opportunities.

5.

All expenditures are identified and coded as "WILDLIFE REVOLVING FUND: S15-343” to facilitate tracking and accountability.

6.

Expenditures complied with approved categories of expenditures for WRF as
established by The Board of Land and Natural Resources on August 13, 1993 (seeAttachment 1, appended

HUNTING LICENSE SALES OVERVIEW
Overall, Hawaii hunting license sales have shown a steady decline over the past
years 1995-2006, mirroring a national trend. The exception is the sale of non-resident
licenses, which indicates a persistent increase annually. With a non-resident to resident
license cost ratio of almost 4 to 1, the increasing non-resident license revenue offsets
about a third of declining resident license sales income. Since this combined revenue isearmarked in the Wildlife Revolving Fund and used to benefit game management andhunting programs, it suggests that hunter recruitment, hunter retention, and hunting
tourism programs be actively promoted. As of 2007 the sales of hunting license have
gradually increased and in order to increase hunting program revenue, the Division ofForestry and Wildlife established a $10 Wildlife Conservation Stamp in 2015, and made it
an integral and mandatory part of the general hunting license, effectively increasing theresident license fee purchase price to $20 (non-resident $105). Hawaii Administrative
Rule 13-122-5.1 granted the department authority to “establish fees for wildlife stamps,
application fees, and tags” insofar as the fee set for each stamp, fee, or tag does notexceed the cost of a hunting license ($10).

Economic Benefits
In addition to providing recreation and supporting a chosen lifestyle for many residents,
hunting provides an economic benefit to the state. Hunting in America is big business. It
generates more than $67 billion in economic output and more than one million jobs. The
top 10 states all receive over $ 1 billion annually in economic benefit from hunting. The
top two, Texas and Pennsylvania, which actively promote hunting, receive triple anddouble that amount, respectively (IAFWA 2001).

6

Hawaii, Montana, Maine and Idaho are states of similar population. Montana, Maine, andIdaho actively promote hunting in their states, and realize an average of $430 million ineconomic benefit annually. Although Hawaii does not actively promote its game resources,
the state economy nevertheless benefits from its hunting programs. The estimated overall
economic impact from hunting in Hawaii was $31 million in 1996 and $28 million in 2001
(IAFWA 1996), (IAFWA 2001). A modest effort in promotional activities could increase
the state’s economic benefit substantially.
In addition to the tangible revenue benefit described, hunters provide a no cost service tomitigate the adverse impact of nuisance wildlife, a cost that would otherwise be borne by
government agencies. State and local taxes would have to be raised significantly to pay for
professionals to make up for the loss of licensed hunters who currently pay a fee toprovide the same service. National studies have been made to estimate costs to the public
in areas of human health, transportation, safety, agriculture, dwellings, and infrastructure
if hunting and trapping were lost as primary wildlife management tools (IAFWA 2005).

special hunting opportunities as required by rules.
Accomplishment: Several legal notices announcing new animal control opportunities forhunters were produced and a series of announcements and news releases were producedfor hunting seasons.
Statewide Game Land Access and Acquisition
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry andWildlife (DOFAW/Division), manages over 1,000,000 acres of state land for wildlifedependent recreation and conservation, and demand is growing for public hunting onthese public lands. However, over half of all land in Hawaii is privately owned, andprivate landowners—as well as other public landowners—frequently block public accessto 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 foraccess to public hunting areas, and if hunting pressure is not applied across a larger
landscape, then game animals will become especially scarce in existing hunting areas andwill cause more damage on inaccessible public and private lands. DOFAW’s partnershipwith 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.
Future Program Plans
1. Produce and distribute required hunting licenses, duplicate licenses, stamps, andvendor booklets.
2. Restore revenue from the sale of hunting tags, stamps, and fees to support thestatewide game program.
3. Publish notification of game bird and game mammal hunting season announcement.
4. Continue to extend and renew existing leases, licenses, and other access agreement.
5. Acquire fee title or agricultural / conservation easements for key land parcels toimprove access and enhance opportunities for public hunting, public recreation, andwildlife management.
