Comment
The limit of 50 a day seems terribly excessive especially as DB Cormorants are not generally considered a food animal. Given the wording that also infers that spoilage would be allowed, this is not really or does not really appear to be a "hunting" season as much as a "culling" season. As the justification behind the hunt seems to be more that some people are upset that the birds eat game fish, one thinks more studies need to exist to confirm this. I would propose the limit be dropped to 10 and that the exemptions normally in place for spoilage be deleted. More studies are needed.
