[QUOTE="snow, post: 289939, member: 1056"] Here in minnesnowta we had issues with these trash birds and tree huggers trying to save them on our Leech lake data showed cormmie feeding effect on the walleye population based on dead birds collected AVG walleye consumption was one pound per bird first in order to make resident rest easy dnr shooters used pellet rifles on a trashy island that had around 500 nesting pairs,they shot a few but the birds wised up quick,boats couldn't get within 100yds before birds took flight,so scratch pellet guns,then .22's at night...that was a bingo,last I read they wasted about 300 birds before a class action suit stopped the hunt,one warden told me birds collected had and average of 1 pound of walleye fillets in its stomach,dead birds collected piled up on shore for critters to eat none did so they had to bury them.... to this day by shooting nesting pairs were scattered to nearby lakes messing them up as well. Side note about sportsmen shooting them,wilst hunting in western minn years back,I had hunters on my private land pass shooting geese coming off a nearby river/refuge(lac qui parle) on the minnesota river as I watched the geese come out to feed a couple low flying cormies came over the sky busters,one dropped in tall crp field,so I walked over to visit with the shooters,asked what they shot as they looked for a downed honker...haha my dog fetched up the critter told the guyz they were protected and usfw were watching us that moment,pointed out a truck on a nearby hillside they freaked out thinking jail they took the cormie to our local game warden head quarters nearby and pleaded insanity as they told me when they returned,whoever they talked to laughed told them to work on idenifing birds better,no ticket just conversation [/QUOTE]
