Marine mammals since 1973. Seals, sea lions, sea otters, walrus, whales, and polar bears are off limits to anyone but natives. A buddy with a native wife was told that if she wanted to shoot seal off their boat it would be best for him to video the whole event to have proof that he didn’t shoot, skin, or butcher it for her. I don’t know if it’s absolutely necessary to go that far but that’s what a trooper told him would be a foolproof method of staying out of trouble.
