I think the proposed cormorant hunting season is a good idea. It will help control some of the damage caused by this species, and as a hunter I welcome the opportunity to hunt a bird species over such a long season starting in March. Read more

I am a life-long hunter and conservationist. I do not agree with this proposal for hunting cormorants and discarding the carcasses. I understand that they are inedible for various reasons and that is unfortunate. If they would not be allowed to spoil I might support this season. Read more

Please deny this proposal. Double Crested cormorants were nearly extinct in Ontario not too long ago. They are a terrible game bird and are likely to be "hunted" (read as eradicated) due to their colony behaviour. Read more

Cormorant populations are out of control. Not only are they destroying native fish stock they are also killing shoreline trees and vegetation. The loss of trees and shoreline vegetation is resulting in bank erosion and habitat loss for other fish, birds and animals. Read more

I agree with the proposal to establish a hunting season on cormorants. There are too many and they eat a ton of fish. We have witnessed many hanging around when the rainbow trout are released from the hatcheries. Also witnessed a great number of trees destroyed from their poop.

Its about time Hunting is reasonable solution to issues where wildlife gets out of sync with their habitat and should be used more often. Cormorants are way above anything natural and allowing hunting especially around dense colonies that are denuding islands of anything green is a solution. Read more

I support the proposal in its entirety. I work in Ontario Parks and having seen the damage these birds are doing to our shorelines first hand at work and while recreational fishing I stand by this proposal. Read more

I am in full agreement with the proposed season on cormorants. These non native birds are destroying Ontario’s waterways and fisheries. It’s time to do something now to get our fisheries back to a population of when I was growing up so we have it for our kids and future anglers. Thank you.
