The policy sets the daily limit far too high. There is no reason that a hunter should be able to kill 50 birds in a day. Such a high limit would allow a single hunter to kill vast swaths of a colony on a daily basis. A limit of 2-4 is far more reasonable and achieve the goals of controlling the population without driving it to non-existence.
Also, without a reasonable limit, hunters will not be able to use all of the meat from the birds they kill. Surely we will end up with sport killing and cormorant carcasses left about. That’s not the Ontario anyone wants to live in.
