Get ready Cormorants ?

As long as you shoot up and in an inland direction there should be no issue. But common sense should be used for sure. Maybe eagles or other species would visit to eat hat's left after the shooters have left. So I agree steel is best.

Go on these islands put some c4 on it. Wait for the birds to return then kaboom! All the pieces of bird go into the water feeding the fish.

The cormies will be hunted deliberately I can certainly assure you. If this passes before April, the bass boats need not worry, as we will have the local lake cormorant free long before end of June (there are only around 30-40 birds on my local lake). They really aren't very hard to hit, much easier than a woodie. They fly in straight lines and don't maverick easily.

Any wary ones that escape will soon vacate, not knowing which of the boats has the hunter in it. The days of nonchalantly sitting in a tree 100yds from my boat will be over, which means their communal nesting islands will no longer be used. 

The best ammo option, and already used during culls, is 22 Quiet subsonic, but that will not be permitted so 12g steel it is.  Bring it on

I do hope these Reg's get approved. In the last 2 years, I've spotted at least 2 of those darned things on either Sinclair Lake or on the Grassy River between Sinclair and Kapiskong Lake about 25 Km North-East of Shining Tree. I've love to help maybe delay their spread into the Grassy River system although it's probably inevitable.
