Comment
Although I agree that the double crested cormorant competes successfully with other fish eating species and needs to be controlled, I strongly disagree with the proposed dates of the hunting season. These dates are inclusive of the late spring and summer months when cottagers and those who enjoy water sports are abundant. Guns should absolutely not be allowed during that time. Hunting cormorants could coincide with duck hunting season when our waterways are least populated. Other control measures such as egg addling, destruction of nest sites etc should continue to be used as well.
