With a strong caveat, cormorants could be added to the hunting list.
- The OPEN SEASON SHOULD BE ALIGNED WITH SIMILAR SPECIES - for example: September 15 to March 31 in the year next following, because...
- it is alarming, and just wrong, to propose that cormorants could be hunted during nesting season, when no other species, including mammals and fish can be hunted during the spring. 'Sitting ducks"!
- there are other colonial nesting birds that nest in the same habitat - they are struggling and should not be disturbed during nesting season!!!
- a slippery slope to allow one species to be hunted during nesting season.... it may promote ignoring of the allowable season for others.
- The same with using an anchored boats - is that allowed with any other species? KEEP THE REGULATIONS CONSISTENT TO AVOID CONFUSION.
- this includes bag limits.... use 10-15, for consistency. We should not be allowing through legislation the wholesale slaughter of any species.
