Danish fishermen call for seal cull

Check it out on BBC news....sure sounds like what we put up with,seals aggressively taking fish.Years ago when their was a $5 bounty on a seals nose,you couldn't get within 200 yards. Of one,let alone them swimming behind your boat.I talked to an American guide on the Columbia who told me he knew guides who had to give up guiding on the Columbia because their clients couldn't even land one salmon.One frustrated guide who shot a seal was fined $5000.....rediculous

My son was 10 years old on the business end of a 25 lb spring off of Horshoe Bay when a seal stole his first spring.Man were we pissed. We chased him around till he dropped the fish and saw the fish /flasher and our gear swimming to the bottom.Man I hate seals!

That would have never happened years ago,seals stayed well clear of boats.Too bad we let the arm chair environmentalists dictate policy.
