Cormorants

[Link82]

Curious to see what people's opinions on cormorant hunting are and if you have done it before.

They decimate the fish population wherever they go. Take them out.

They sh*t all over the dock eat all the fish spread parasites to the fish they don’t ide happily target shoot a few

When I see one in a legal situation it becomes the main target.
They decimate the islands and hurt the fish populations. They should have been delisted decades ago

Shoot em up,im not sure which eats more fish a Cormorants < White Pelicans. But we can only shoot 1 so Cormorants all the way.

I see a few here and there and not sure if it's legal to shoot them in MB but I do know they do damage.

 

[Jesselegend01]

It’s starts as seeing a few then they take over growing up never seen one when I was younger now there all over the place our inland lakes are now suffering

I mentioned what I do with them on a FB thread about how much damage they do and got a 2 week ban.

How are they as table fare? Their diet makes me curious, as we can taste the sage in a deer from the desert here.

Better to eat the table than the fare…

They have a similar taste to Osprey and coastal bald eagle.

So split the bird, wrap it around a hot rock and put it in the coals. When it’s done eat the rock.

There are recipes. You might want to be careful of any predator fish or bird that accumulates small fish on the Great Lakes, but if the critters aren't from there I wouldn't worry.

I’ve seen YouTube videos of European hunters saying they were going to clean them for consumption. Didn’t inquire about the recipes. Some cultures eat things we don’t! I’m personally not eating any cormerants. I also don’t eat rats or mice or crows but still kill them. I know I’m going to HELL.

At least I'll have a shooting partner there lol. I live in the crow capital of Canada. Used to shoot thousands each year
