I agree 100% with a season on these pests. They decimate fish populations, ruin vegetation and trees etc where ever they roost, and are becoming so abundant that you sometimes see flocks of nearly 50 flying between water ways, followed by more flocks of similar sizes. I have personally seen a cormorant in the harbour of Meaford, Ontario, eat a rainbow trout that was atleast 1lb in weight, then dive back down and come up with another. Now tell me, if they’re catching fish that size, what are they doing to the fingerlings stocked by angling organizations? If the MNR had a head on its shoulders, this is an absolute NO BRAINER!!! I would personally push for a Pest based label, meaning no season limitation, like they have for grackles and crows. Should be allowed to harvest one anytime, anywhere, any season.
