As a tax paying resident of Big Rideau Lake, I fully support this proposal for the following reasons:

1. These birds have been know to impact the fish population on the lake.

2. The islands (there is more than one) they populate have no vegetation.

3. These birds do not contribute to the ecosystem as a net positive gain.

The hunting season should be limited to anything that fits within the provincial guidelines and further limited from March 15th to May 1st as well as October 15th to December 15th . This would provide significant windows for hunting while maintaining a safe balance for cottage season including Christmas.

As for leaving the birds where they are shot, this is a great idea. Other animals that actually contribute to the ecosystem would clean that up.

Can’t wait for these birds to be decimated from this lake.
