I believe that there should be a hunting season for double-crested cormorants because they destroy the island forest and the smell of the island is terrible after they have been living on it.
I support the need for some sort of action to control or reduce the cormorant population. I support the proposal and look froward to it being implemented in a way that is sensitive to non-hunters needs and concerns.

The proposed cormorant hunt would be more than welcome by myself and others who have witnessed first hand the destruction to the trees and fishery that these birds have done. The populations have exploded and now these birds are everywhere.

I am a retired 74 year old who was born and raised on the Big Rideau Lake. I am also a trout fisherman and have been actively persuing that hobby all my life. We currently have a healthy community of cormorants on the lake and they are progressively destroying our fishery.

I am a 34 year resident of an Island at the mouth of the St Lawrence River/Lake Ontario and have watched these birds since they first showed up and get established on small beautiful Islands that were very popular for boaters, kayakers, jet skiers alike, and within a few years these Islands were com

I agree with establishing a hunting season. We have one small rock island in our lake. For 10 years the area around this island contained abundant perch and bass populations. Starting 5 years ago 2 cormorants showed up. There are now over 20.

In reading the information provided by the Ministry regarding the proposed hunting season for cormorants, I am concerned that this bird population, who has fairly recently recovered from a decline, would again experience another decline should people be allowed to hunt them.

This is great news it is long overdue. I have seen so many trees destroyed on the local islands that they inhabit.
The amount of small fish such as perch and bass they consume has been said to watch. I fully support this action and look forward to hunting them.
I am an outdoorsman and Scout leader. Cormorants were nearly wiped out in the Great Lakes by DDT. Now Ontario is proposing to allow hunters to wipe them out again?
How many loons would be killed along with cormorants by this proposed policy? Loons look just like cormorants in flight.

I agree with all the proposals except for the exemption for Central and Northern zones not requiring a migratory permit for a certain portion of the season.

These birds are destroying the islands on both the Niagara and St. Lawrence river. The trees can't fend for themselves and the damage being done can't be reversed.
