This is a terrible idea! To allow hunters, some of which would be inexperienced, to shoot 50 cormorants a day from a boat in prime season is asking for trouble. Not only is this a threat to other humans, but also to other species such as loons and mergansers....any silouette that has a similarity would be in jeopardy. Not to mention the sheer noise and terror of so much gunshot. As well herons are known to nest in proximity to cormorants. There has to be another way to slow the spread of cormorants witout making it a free-for-all for hunters.
