sea lions at bonneville
« on: April 21, 2013, 07:16:26 PM »
I stopped to try out my 100-400mm lens on the sea lions at the dam and got this picture. I didn't notice the salmon until after I got home.

Too bad they're killing oversized sturgeon too. Someone should do something about those things. Emergency closure on sturgeon and the big sea lions are killing them left and right.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The states are killing the repeat offenders.  Hopefully after doing that for a bit the problem is smaller.

How about removing the problem all together rather than making it smaller?
