Guys, I'd think twice about posts reporting shots at or actually killing cormorants or other fish eating birds. It is against Federal law without a depradation permit.
This stuff is best handled by the old SSS idea of shoot, shovel and shut up.
Gotta admit that if a hawk was getting my chickens(I don't have any chickens) I'd take care of business.
I figure the poster I was replying to A) knows the laws in the state he resides, B) knows any federal laws that apply. Such as is he legally allowed to discharge a firearm on his property (typically dependent upon a minimum amount of land and distance to a neighboring structure), are there any ordinances that prohibit shooting near a protected species, etc.
