I am a member of an internet fishing and outdoors Forum and I conducted a "Poll" amongst our members.

The "Poll" illustrated the proposal on Cormorant hunting and asked the question as follows:

Are you in favour of the proposal, YES or NO?

There 136 responses.

129 were in favour of the proposal and 7 were opposed.

I think that gives you a pretty good idea of how favorably the proposal is viewed in the fishing/outdoors community.

If the proposal is implemented there will be areas where there are large Cormorant populations, but hunting will not be possible( i.e. the North shore of Lake Ontario). Where there are large Cormorant colonies where hunting is not possible, the MNRF should give consideration to "oiling" eggs, if they are truly serious about controlling the Cormorant population.
