I noticed in an earlier thread that someone posted the language from a treaty that stated that in fact the Native Americans have a right to harvest seals. If this is true and would be upheld, then what would you as a sportfisherman we willing to do/ trade/negotiate with the tribes for them setting up buyers and helping to "thin" the number of seals/ sea lions in our rivers. I have no doubt that the right person could set up a sales opportunity with some Asian markets to dispose of the catch so they would not be wasted. I personally would pay a surcharge of say $10. on my license for a year to pay to research and implement this program. Looks like a win/win situation for us ,the tribes, and the fish.Comments?
