This sounds more like a cull than hunting since the bird apparently is not edible and the proposed limit is very high. I am a little concerned as well that loons can be difficult to distinguish from cormorants to the untrained eye when swimming in poor light conditions. I think it would be best to rethink the definition of the plan and call a spade a spade. They certainly have overpopulated and have been destructive to former heron nesting habitat and fish populations as well as some island vegetation and I have no problem with a planned cull if that is what is desired here--as for a hunt I don't feel it fits my definition.
