I agree with a process to reduce the numbers of cormorants, but I am not convinced they are a "game bird". Being a game bird implies a hunter would need to consume the bird. I'm not sure how cormorants taste, or how well they would dress given the toxicity of their digestive systems. I would rather see them be classified as a nuisance bird, with a reasonable limit placed on the number of cormorants a hunter could take each day. Cormorants have decimated the fishery in the lake I fish most frequently, and their numbers indicate they do not require special protection. Reduction in cormorant numbers is a priority and has been for at least 20 years.
