Oregon to Kill Sea Lions

[Lawhunter]

Admittedly I did not read the article, but did they give a quota to remove?

[ultrastealth]

Yep, that act would be a huge obstacle to allowing regular folks to kill them.


The natives are a sovereign people and the laws of the US apply to them differently through various treaties, they are basically a different nation.

Which is a major problem. They have all of the benefits of U.S. citizenship without the taxes and with their own set of laws, which, for the most part, they don't enforce.

Maybe they'll get something right. And allow hunters to handle it. I'd eat one. Imagine a 600lb full body sea lion to greet people in your living room mounted up on the Fireplace rocks..

Probably be easier to just club the baby ones. They probably taste better too.

Hippies' heads are exploding all up and down the Left coast right now.

I was there around Tillamook just a few weeks ago steelhead fishing, hiking, and scouting for next season's elk hunt. The steelhead numbers are way down. In two days fishing, I only caught one. I only saw one other one caught. Normally the run would be in full swing.
Beautiful area though.

Them's the treaties, whether we like it or not.

The US Govt has already reneged on enough treaties with them as it is, it's not like there are enough Indians for much of anything they do to have much effect as it is so there's really not good reason to change anything.

Sounds pretty tasty and very healthy.

I think they should let nature take its course, if the steelhead goes extinct then that’s what nature intended

Man... this comment is bugging me lol

****’s are probably 80-90% of the reason of the steelhead decline.

Nature wanted to place impassable ****s in rivers to make fish species who breed upstream not be able to reproduce?

[TexasTealHunter]

Whatever they kill they should ship up north to the inuits I am sure they eat them and put to use nearly every part


Also to add I would think if the seals weren't protected in the beginning that there wouldn't be this problem.

Let people that want to hunt them hunt them. Why do they need to pay another tax on top of the regular hunting lic.

It amazes me how on another thread everyone is complaining how much they pay in tax. Yet anytime something illegal might be legal everyone is all over it. "yea, then the state can tax it, the state can generate revenue"
Wait, how about the fishermen have to buy a steelhead stamp to pay for the government removal of the sea lions?

We have been brain washed into thinking we need to pony up more money to be free.

Really? Why is paying the gov to do something that we should already be allowed to do better.

Legalize weed!
Why?
Cause the gov can tax it make money?

How about the gov BTFU and let us be free men and women.... or tranny or whatever you want to call yourself.

Less government involvement. We all know nothing the government gets involved with works well. It just makes some people more money in the end.

Ditto. Might turn out to be the bacon of the ocean.

or the Dog of the Sea!!!!

If they kill them, they need to be sure and save the hides and have them tanned! Also, some of the native people up north would love to have the meat!

[Pigpiggy]

Do they eat good? Lol I mean sell some tags as a hunt, I’m sure somebody has wanted to hunt one.

I’d try eating one.

Representatives from Long John Silvers are standing by to see if this can be added to their restaurant menus.

No reason not to sell some clubbing permits. Salmon problem might have something to do with protecting predators of salmon.
