Ever Kill a seal?

[trophyelk6x6]

Grew up on the salt water but this weekend was a first. My wife and I were crabbing and coon shrimping and had my 8 pots finally off the boat.  PS I need a bigger boat. So it was nice out and wife wanted to go for a ride into Olympia's port while the pots soaked. When we left we were running about 25 mph and a seal pops up in front of us, looks at me and doesn't move.  This takes only a few seconds and slam slam he hits about mid way under my boat and we hear two quick thugs on the boat and then the final.....the 150 Suzuki hits him and I can feel it thru the throttle. WTF?  Never had a seal not take off in milliseconds and this one actually popped up and looked me and whammoo.  My wife about crapped her pants and said do you think he is alive and I said no, once I knew the outdrive hit him I figured he was crab bait. I know they aren't the smartest, We hooked two this year on jigs up in neah bay while sea bass fishing.  I hope PETA doesn't come after me.

You might want to check for damaged seals.

I know a good joke about damaged or "ruptured" seals. Not sure it's clean though.

"No, it's just ice cream from across the street"

Then it's across the street for a hickory haircut.

Haven't killed one, but I have skinned one and cut the head off of at least one other.....

Wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
