The Urban Fisherman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey all, I work downtown and on my way in today as huge flock flew over me as I was driving down the gardner! bummer! I think I read a thread back in the day that said they were going to open a hunting season for them? at any rate, sucks that they're around! Cheers, UF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 There is a huge nesting population living on a and destroying the Leslie Spit. Probably the same flock you saw. They are always out on the hunt for food and nesting material. Kill 'em, kill'em all! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricoboxing Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 would be good to use them for target practice till duck hunting season comes along. doubt they'll have an open season on them though, dam tree huggers and P3TA lovers would throw a fit!

highdrifter Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I've my own methods... MUAH HAHAAH (ringing hands).. I second that notion. Migratory bird laws asside, something needs to be done. Not only are the trees and fishes in geopardy; the local nesting colony of Black Crested Night Herons, one of the largest in North America, are on the verge of having their nesting sites taken right out from under them. Death to all cormorants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I only saw about a dozen at Ashbridges this morning, but I spose I was too early to see anymore, but some days the place is loaded with them. I forget the exact numbers, but it's something like 6000 that were culled down near Quinte a couple years ago, then I remember watching the news about a year ago and they were trying another cull in the same area, but the P3TA groups were in the water near the birds with canoes and nobody could do any shooting with them there. Never did hear if the cull went ahead after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthepitonspete Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Last spring I was quite distraught to see an island in Algonquin's Opeongo Lake completely taken over by the buggers. All the trees were killed, of course. I can't stand the things. I'd love to see a lot fewer. But how?

Pete Maina Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Wow! And I thought I didn't care for cormorants. Well, on the serious side, I can't say I wish 'em well. They should be culled a little heavier than they are. I'm counting on you folks, cuz I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well my grandfather is passed away now, so I can say with no worries that he use to shoot them almost every day once they started eating the fish under his dock many years ago. I'm still young, but I know things were different back then because the neighbours would call the cops and they would show up and have a drink with my grandfather (lemonade of course) and that's about it.

pikehunter Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I know things were different back then because the neighbours would call the cops and they would show up and have a drink with my grandfather Ahhh the good old days. Sounds like we have grandfathers cut from the same cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The only reason there is not a season on cormorants, is because they taste like SH!^ ..... Had a couple show up at the hunt camp this past summer... Suffice to say, they won`t be showing up this summer.... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilkynan Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The Skyway in Hamilton Harbour would be a nice place to start. Lots of open area and lots of targets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
