Um, Davatsa.... Last I heard, which was quite a few years ago now, the Cormorant was "protected" under the yadda yaddi migratory bird act. The way I look at it, shoot a Merganzer out of season and ya get a fine. Shoot a Cormorant (and get caught) and your life has just taken a 90 degree turn for the worse. Funny. The same government that feels it has to "legalize" abortion goes to lengths to protect a fish killing, over-populated bird that is ugly to boot. Go figure...
