Comment
I object to the proposal to allow open hunting of the Double-crested Cormorant (DOCO). My reasons are as follows:
(1) DOCO, being essentially inedible, is not a game bird;
(2) ancillary impacts on birds protected by the Migratory Birds Convention Act, including Common Loon, which may not be readily distinguishable by many hunters from DOCO;
(3) public health issues related to rotting carcasses, which hunters are not required to collect.
