If there is scientific basis that there are detrimental effects over overpopulation of this species, a controlled cull would be the better approach. Unlimited killing of 50 birds a day, every day by an unlimited number of hunters even during the breeding season will result in:
- over culling of the species
- inconsistent geographic culling of the species
- difficultly regulating what species are being targeted by the hunters
- danger to people using the same waters during times they are not generally considered open hunting season.

This is a poorly thought out plan.
