I would fully support the establishment of a hunting season for the double breasted cormorant. The devastation that they have created to the fishing industry in the north channel of lake Huron and the inner lakes. The perch and smelt fisheries were literally wiped out 15 to 20 years ago. At that time government officials were quoted stating these birds will never come inland. I've witnessed these birds on small lakes at least 50 miles inland. I've seen flocks of 15 to 25 birds on our small Lake of Armstrong Lake in Trill township north of Sudbury Ontario. This is on top of the devastation they have done to trees when nesting, see Point Pelee. Therefore I would strongly support this proposal.
