This says it all for me:
"The animals fatten up on spring chinook and other species into May before returning to California to breed. Their numbers have surged from about 1,000 animals in the 1930s to about 238,000 now along the West Coast."

That's funny! I wasn't lucky enough to fatten up on Springers this year. No migration to California for breeding for me.

Them sealions are brutal anymore... They're as bad as chipmunks and squirrels at a local campground... They'll darn near swim right up to your boat and check things out....

It seems to me, those number are a little off. Never the less, it should be cut in half, or somewhere near there. Why are they waiting until now to try and manage those beasts? Didn't the nations ever hunt sealions?

They should just make a tag available when getting a new license , So the next time one of those [censored] is chacing your fish, you can just sting it!

One of these on a bluff over the might Columbia & those pinipeds are tango foxtrot uniform.






BTW, info on the pea-shooter. The rifle is a EDM Windrunner M96 .50cal. The rifle above shot consistent 1MOA out to 2600 meters. That means putting multiple rounds on a 26" target @ 1.5 miles





I'll take mine to go, thank you.
