As an avid hunter and trapper in northern Ontario I would support a hunting season for cormorants in Ontario. We moved to northern Ontario 5 years ago. While in southern Ontario born and raised we noticed a drastic increase in cormorant population both along Huron lake shores and also in land in smaller lakes and tributaries. Recently in northern Ontario we have now noticed cormorants in lakes up to timmins. Residents say they have never seen these birds this far north before. Showing their numbers are increasing and habit range is growing. Their for I support the hunt and would recommend the final decision to come down to science and facts NOT what hurts Canadians feelings. Ontario legislation is lacking in scientific data and relies on opinions from so called experts that have no idea what they are actually doing, just what they were thought in school or learned from a text book.
