To put it politely,…

To put it politely, definitely, I have seen the damage these birds can do, in several parts of Ontario.when I visited Northern Ontario in Lake of the woods,
At several Lakes in South eastern ontario..

I have seen them destroy trees as there were so many on trees, the feces alone was damaging the branches and trees themselves,
I also know several Americans who've discussed Cormorants and damage they've caused to small lakes, ponds fish populations from overpopulation..

I myself probably won't partake in a cormorant hunt, but as history has shown, hunters are the best conservationists, just look at the wild Turkey reintroduction as well as the elk restoration programs and hunters can be trusted to respectfully and effectively manage populations..

I also have partook in several mnr programs over the years, submitting duck wings for analysis as well as Deer jaws, and hats for hides program to further research and study..

Hunters are the best resource for dependable information..

Thank you for considering my opinion..
