Greetings

I am not opposed to the changes in hunting regulations for the Double-crested Cormorants.

I am not in favor of a hunting season starting in March. I don't approve of hunting the birds while they nesting or taking care of young. I also feel you are creating a health and safety issue by having hunters around docks or in boats carrying loaded guns with children enjoying the water in the summer months.

I would like to see the season more in line with with other waterfowl hunting. A season starting in September is more appropriate.

A daily harvest limit of 50 birds! Now there is a public relations nightmare for your Minister or Duputy. I can just see the internet photos of 2 hunters posing with each of their 50 bird kills. Kind of reminds one of those early 1900's photos of hunters posing their multiple deer kills.

Daily hunting kills should be in line with other waterfowl hunting limits.
