this proposal seems full of inconsistencies and bad policy.
-your note: [Their numbers began to increase rapidly from the 1970s to the early 2000s, with the latest information indicating Great Lakes populations have since stabilized or declined slightly.] * obviously not over populated so this kill is to pacify people who 'don't like them'. You will all a 50 bag kill with NO possession limit? you could decimate this species too quickly.
Shot guns with spread shot shooting to shore to kill*dangerous to humans and how many birds & surrounding animals are injured and not killed outright?
You can leave the carcasses to Rot?? contaminating water and land-this is appalling! If allowed to kill any species all carcasses should be used for food first or at least removed for health reasons.
You allow this slaughter when they are nesting, having their young? Lot of 'sport' there isn't there.
Humans have to learn to live with the real indigenous animals of our land. Since 1970 60% of wildlife has gone extinct in the world, You are trying to up this percentage?
Culls like this need to better planed and organized and have reason based on better reasons that fisher men and land owners are complaining.
