Post by: Mfowl on April 07, 2023, 05:28:18 PM: The actual video is in this article. Dumb for sure but when there are rafts/packs of them all across the river you could blame a lot of boaters for this. Though this guy did swerve toward others sea lions on the video. A second boat was recorded as well. I've never swerved towards them but I certainly don't swerve away either.

From the video....yeah nature was here first. Back when sea lions could fish endless miles of stagnant pools through which fish have to navigate and ladder.

Those useless furbags are used to dodging boats. My guess is none were even close to harmed. Harassment at best.

Hopefully the boat numbers are obscured and they don't catch him. Dumb to do it though.

Agreed. I spent a decade commercial fishing in Alaska. I witnessed entire sand spits of seals and sea lions mowed down by 15 guys all shooting AR’s and Mini 14’s. As many as 700 killed at a time. It would take three tides to wash the blood and carnage out of the bay. Population control that worked. I wonder how the tree hugger and his daughter who took the video would react to that.

Post by: Stein on April 08, 2023, 12:59:01 PM: Reminds me of when Tom Nelson got the $2,500 ticket from NOAA for tossing a scrap of fish to a furbag in the harbor on the news criticizing management practices. He got the same penalty as if he had shot and killed one.

Quote
NW1805032 – Tom Nelson was charged under the Marine Mammal Protection Act with
unlawful taking of a harbor seal by feeding it. A $2,500 NOVA was issued and the case
settled for $2,250.

If that was me driving, I would be nervous since there was a bunch of swerving going on. I think if you are going straight you can at least have a chance at arguing out of it.

Post by: Stein on May 01, 2023, 02:39:32 PM: One of those sea lions that was attacking his boat might have been the same one that broke my lucky flasher last year. Hope they catch it and make a hat. Looks like he was trying to dodge them but they kept on popping up right in his way.

Tom Sewind is a dual citizen, I believe tribal both sides of the border. They have a place in Nanaimo That makes the coolest harbor seal vests! They cannot ship one to me unfortunately. Id love to have one and would buy one if i could get it here.
