SO HOWS THE CORMORANTS AROUND THE WORLD DOING? THEY HAVE GROUPS GOING AROUND HERE KEEPING THE CONTROL ON THEM. SEEMS TO BE 2 PEOPEL PER BOAT. ONE DRIVER AND ONE SHOOTER. THOSES BIRDS CAN REALLY MESS UP A GOOD FISHING LAKE. ITS ABOUT TIME WE STARTED TO CONTROL THEM.

I wish these birds were on the endangered species list or extinct. Here on Irondequoit Bay (Rochester NY), the population has exploded the past five years. They are killing off trees all over the South end of the bay.

they're federaly protected everywhere...but there out of control....we were surf fishing for browns in lake michigan last year...and a flock so large flew over..that we had to duck for cover from all the poop falling...my green hat was white by the end of the day.

NOT SURE HOW FEDERALLY THERE PROTECTED IF WERE ALLOWED TO SHOOT THEM OFF HERE
THIS IS A QUOTE FROM OUR NEWS LETTER WE RECEIVE "THESE WILL BE SHORT MEETINGS, BUT WILL ACCOMPLISH A LOT TOWARD MAINTAINING THE BALANCE BETWEEN CORMORANTS AND FISH IN THE LAKES. VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND. THE PURPOSE OF THESE MEETING IS TO SIGN UP PEOPLE WITH BOATS AND TIME, TO GO OUT IN THE WATER AS SOON AS THE ICE MELTS, TO DO CORMORANTS CONTROL. THERE WILL TYPICALLY BE TWO PEOPLE TO A BOAT, A DRIVER AND A SHOOTER. THE PROGRAM LASTS ABOUT A MONTH, BUT THE EFFECTS LAST ALL YEAR. WE NEED TO GET THESE BIRDS OFF THE SPAWNING BEDS, AND REALLY, OFF THE LAKES. WE NEED YOUR HELP, THE MORE THE BETTER BECAUSE THE MORE WE HAVE, THE LESS EACH PERSON HAS TO SACRIFICE THEIR TIME." SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE'RE DOING OR WHAT..BUT IT WORKED LAST YEAR PREETY GOOD.

That sounds like a blast, heck I'd pay to do that! Shoot a couple extra for us, because we're not allowed to give them a dirty look.

In Washington they are bad. In trout stocked lakes it is like they know when the trucks arrive I have seen them fly onto the lake and eat so much fish that they couldnt fly. Also they eat alot of Steelhead and Salmon smolts in the rivers. I say kill them all.
