Cormorant hunt, Question

As the proposal has not been adopted under what authority are you shooting them?

The zero ######s given authority.

Good too know.
I bare them no good will or malice think of them a lot like coyotes.
I do however like to play by the rules.
Can't pick and choose the regulations we wish too follow.
Just makes the rest of us look bad.

You sure can pick and choose!
Have I rolled a stop sign here and there? Sure!
Do I drive the 400 @ 130km/hr while watching YouTube on my phone? Not a chance.

However I can’t get upset when I get pinched at that stop sign or for dropping a cormorant.

My actions are my own as are the consequences. They do not reflect the accord of others.

Moral of the story is don’t do anything that you aren’t willing to get caught
Doing.

Any person can paint any group with the same brush.

P.s I would wear that cormorant poaching ticket as a medal of honour.
Just my opinion, doesn’t reflect those of others.

If I were someone who decide to look the other way on a reg or two to rid my back yard or favourite fishing hole of some pests I most certainly wouldn't be bragging about on an open internet forum... Just sayin... Not trying to anger anybody who has already made it clear they are going to do what they are going to do...

I am still ify on this, of what I read in paper and Ontario out of doors, they say you can just dispose of them, so 50 a day, and the season starts when the ice is off Simcoe, we got a problem with them here in the north end, but if "they" want them gone, I have no issues with blasting those critters, so they are good Coyote bait, I got buds that go for those so free bait for them I guess, or use for lawn / garden firtilizer? I never at one, but tried a meganser, fishy, if I want fish, I will eat a fish... will see if there be recipes

Team Rapo . I know what lake you may be shooting on . Take my count too .

TD

Its absolutely insane our mnr took this long to do anything about the problem. So much damage already done!

I predict the dead birds will be left where they fall.

I think your right on that one. and if people don't stop saying THIS online there will never be a legal hunt for another 10 years and by then it will be too late for other edible fish and game
Wake up people. Your being watched

we got a big hole in the farm field, be good fertilizers we were told, my neighbor is OPP, he was not informed, now he is locked and loaded, just helping out lake Simcoe fisheries and trees, as for taiste, if I wanted to eat bad fish I would, but I found some here in Toronto that likem, so...Bonapitite new Canadians

PENDING Double-crested Cormorants Ontario has proposed to introduce a hunting season for double-crested cormorants.

Looks like its good to go however still pending so I'd hold off till its official

Just wonder how many people will go target them. I know I have no use for them, but I have too many other things to do. Now while I'm out waterfowl hunting and no ducks to be found, I could see shooting them. I'm sure there will be people who will go target them and I wish them all the luck as they need to be thinned.

I can see an issue if people do start shooting all kinds and just leave them where they fall. Anti's will be up in arms and will cause us more problems in the long run.

Last night at our meeting the OFAH rep indicated that at present there is "NO" open season on these birds , apparently the final passage is hung up in two levels of government ..Go figure ..

Hope they get off their collective asses and give the word to begin reducing the population of these black bastards ..

Thanks for the update Dave.

Mysself...I do not think this will ever get passed in the current form...

This is known as the classic....hey, we tried to establish a hunt, but it failed, so don't pester us for another 2 decades or so


I mean, really, shoot 50 and just leave them..not going to happen


I so hope I am wrong on this

Longshank, couldn't agree more, it will never pass. They are wrecking everything, but huggers will put up a fight and really don't know if I disagree with them, as I could image shooting all these birds and just let them lie where they fall. Make a real mess on the shore and who cleans it up and maybe do damage to a boat prop too. Now if you had to retrieve them and dispose of them by burying, that a different story.
