I welcome this hunt.....I am…

I welcome this hunt.....I am not a hunter but really enjoy fishing. I understand the purpose of the cormorant but year after year I see a population explosion......for a while I saw that the fish I was catching were getting larger and larger......I also noticed there were less perch.....I put it down to the huge population of cormorants eating the smaller bait fish so that the fish chain was eating itself from small to large.....cormorants eat so much and do not seem to have a good digestion system, or they have a very fast metabolism. Just look at the sea gulls that sit mixed in with them and you will see that they are eating the feces of the cormorant because of the food value still present in the feces. I do have a question if you make it a game bird....who will hunt it to eat it.....are they not all feathers and how do they taste?
