I am not strongly for or against this proposal. As a licensed small game hunter in Ontario, I see no reason for any special protection of cormorants. I've seen many islands devestated of all plant and tree life, from the toxic excrement of these birds. It seems that harvesting some of these birds could help limit the population and decrease environmental damage.

I feel that a bag limit of 50 is a bit much. Surely there would be hunters trying to wipe out entire populations of these birds, and a bag limit this high would likely encourage over-harvesting.
