So this sea lion came 17 miles upriver to our fish counting station on the Sapsuk (Nelson) River, some decades ago. In just a few minutes I watched it make repeated passes through a deep pool where salmon were holding. It killed at least 50 that I saw. Because it could. Last I saw of that lion it was headed back down to sea.
When I turned the .338 in at the end of the summer, the box of shells was down to 18. I used one to kill a caribou for camp meat, off my license. Must have lost the other one on one of my walks.
I would think tranq guns with lethal overdose loads would be an option for this cull. Dispose of therm as they wash up, if needed. Bears and coyotes gotta eat too. Well maybe that wouldn't be a good idear after all with the residuals... Was that sea lion eating just the bellies out of those fish? Common occurrence on the Columbia. Eat the fat rich parts, leave the carcass. Nope - I don't think so. Could be tho - looked like it was just going through the school killing 3 - 5 or so each pass.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

A hyphen (-) just in case nobody has brought it up, can be very helpful.

I had no idea when I posted this stupid thread, that I would shunned, belittled, castigated, made jest of over a gawd damned hyphen. But, you ya-hoos have-made-a-believer-out-of-me. If- you don't hear-from-me, I-am-in-seclusion-at-an-undisclosed-location. Under-going-therapy-and-counseling.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
