Hi there, I think opening up cormorant as a game season is a great idea. It will give the ability to hunters to control the amount of cormorants on our waterways as they consume a mass amount of out sport fish. Read more

Over the last 40 years I have watched these cormorants develop on 1st Georgian Bay, and the all the great lakes as well as inner lakes. They are fish eating machines,and have devastated many of the waters I've fished. Read more

These birds are acidic and a spreading cancer to the environmental world . They are destroying islands and fish all at the same time . There has to be a strategy plan such as a hunting season to eliminate the threats to our future generations and anglers and hunters .

I am in agreement that the birds are a problem but setting a precedent of legal wastage is not good. Shooters will have to collect carcasses and leave them where, on my shoreline? Other problems are apparent as well. Read more
