As a hunter my standard has been not to shoot anything I wasn't going to eat. I am ready to change that standard to reduce the negative impact the cormorants are having on the environment. As a fisherman, I've experienced poor catch results due to impacted baitfish populations. This proposal is good because it can be regulated based on the cormorant population, but the methods of egg oiling, etc. should also be used to make the first big step to population reduction. I have concern the public's image of hunters may be negatively impacted, but with government publicity, this can be minimized. I say Yes to the proposal.
