There should be a hunting…

There should be a hunting season for these birds. I will likely be a small part of the population control needed. I would bet the people I hunt with would likely only dedicate a couple of trips to trying to hunt them because summer is a busy time and hunting is very expensive. I would participate mostly with the hope of helping to control the population and improve the wildlife habitat around our water resources. We have been hunting waterfowl for many years and their population remains strong so I would expect other population control measures would need to continue to be used. Being out on the water with other activities I have seen first hand the habitat destruction and believe culling is required.
As for the limit of 50 per day, it is highly unlikely one person would be able to harvest that many in one hunt. They don't just stand still and let you shoot them.
