Double Crested Cormorant, BYE BYE BIRDIE

It says 15/day

I am just so happy this has come about......never thought I would see it

As mentioned earlier, it will be important to dispose of them and not leave floaters on waterbodies as that could end this in a hurry

Bring on the ammo

A nuisance bird.....good riddance

Best thing I've heard this year. Now if you can talk Michigan in to it, would be the best thing to happen to perch fishing in my lifetime.

I am a member of a birdwatching facebook group and they are really really p##### off at this.
Petitions set up , how to contact your MP etc etc . They say the birds are native to Ontario not invasive . Some say they are beneficial as they eat Goby . As someone who fishes and is also into birdwatching i cant agree with them. I have seen swarms of black clouds flying over Lake Ontario they are out of control and need to be controlled. Never smelt it but i heard stories the nesting sites are disgusting from all the guamo they leave and they destroy trees.

As others mentioned hopefully after they are shot they will be buried not left to rot because the politicians will get a backlash!!

Those are not stories at all, but a fact.

Try going to a nesting site and if you last more than 2 hours without puking when it's 30 degrees out I will give you a free charter

They are native bird but they have gotten out of control. They have displaced other native bird and destroyed whole islands because the fecal matter is so acidic it kills the trees completely. Whole canopies have been lost and whole colonies of Blue Herons.

I am going to sound stupid but i got a question. Does this mean on the opener boats are going to be able to anchor in front of the islands and blast away ? cus if so i may take that day off from fishing lol

I have a hard time thinking this is going to work. I rarely see them fly close enough to me where I would be able to bring one down. And once the shooting starts I'm sure they will get wiser.
Even if you pick a couple of them off are you going to leave your blind to retrieve them? People will freak if dead ones start floating to shore.
It would be fun with a high powered pellet gun from a distance. (Needs to be a shotgun though)
Hopefully it does work.

Place in pot with water, 1 onion, 1 turnip, 1 carrot, and 1 medium/large sized Stone. Simmer for 4 hours. After simmering, throw cormorant out and eat medium/large stone...

15 per day per hunter

Oh they fly close enough to me when I hunt all the time. I will shoot my 15 and so will my buddies. We will pick them up for sure though.

I would say if you can't pick them all up, then moms the word..shhhh

ya, I see them close enough as well.

Get some for me as well

There is hope to end the slaughter!!!
