In regards to a hunting season for double crested Cormorants. I feel a hunting season would be beneficial as these birds have become overpopulated. I spend a lot of time in Georgian bay where these birds devistated the fishing for many years. There seemed to be a severe shortage of baitfish and consequently gamefish after these birds repopulated. In recent years there has been some bounce back in the fishing but the birds seem to be reappearing and I’m sure the cycle will continue. I also live in Hamilton where there is tens of thousands of them nesting. They have devistated shoreline in the bay and create a horrible smell when travelling daily in the summer across the bridge.
