I think it is a terrible idea to allow hunting for 9 months. I feel unsafe during hunting season and even more unsafe for my dogs. Cormorants reside in cottage areas where families go to relax and not have to deal with hunters all summer long. Even worse is allowing hunters to shoot birds and leave their bodies to rot. Nobody wants to see that carnage and the hunters won't even know for sure what they shot if they don't have to pick it up. I have overheard many hunters confuse loons with cormorants. Some just don't care what they shoot. Allowing anyone to shoot up to 50 a day is absolutely irresponsible and encouraging the extinction of an entire species. Do NOT change the laws regarding hunting cormorants.
