As an avid hunter and sport fisher I have been concerned for the damage being done by these birds for years, the destroyed landscape on many islands as well as observing each one take so much fish in a short period of time while we fish is alarming.

I firmly believe that a cull is needed to bring some control to their population, I do however believe that the daily limit may be set to high, as it only seems to be offending some non hunter types a reason to complain, I think it would be better to just offer an open season with no bag limit, this would limit the negative opions of our non hunting community, as well as the activist groups.
