Comment
1- claimed benefits are not supported by evidence or quanititative arguments
2- significant harm (collateral damage to other species/nesting areas) is likely
3- in addition to noise and other disruption to 'quiet enjoyment' there are significant hazards arising from continuous presence of hunters in sensitive areas
Overall the proposal is misguided, lacks evidentiary support and shows a willingness to engage in a large scale experiment without adequate consideration of either conseqences or alternates.
At minimum, more time for review and comment is needed.
