Request for Seal Study Made

Zac and others...........the same people said there would never be a coyaote hunt either!

Up here in Maine I have seen seals as far up as the Chelsea Gardiner area! This is completely fresh water! I didn't even know that they came into fresh water.
While I do enjoy watching them, they are way to comfortable around people. It is a real problem when they see a boat as a dinner bell.
Do any of the guys from Ct see seals around Saybrook/Menunkateesic yet? I am from there but haven't been back in a few years.

Coyotes eat the family pets.
Seals don't.

BIG BIG difference here.

excuse my ignorance but when a Senators relative or whatever gets bit by a great white in the area, then maybe they will take notice.

family pets? ya right. they(yotes) too are getting bolder and bolder.

Thats about as likely as Bush finally admitting he was wrong about WMD's.

And you WANT them to get distemper?
Throw your beach access pass away now then.
And don't bother getting one next year either, because if that happens, they'll shut down the whole GD backside.

nope, just want them to go away or back where they came from and not stay here all summer. Just want them to stop clearcutting the Cape waters of every living thing. They eat alot of fish, there are thousands of seals that eat a huge amout of seafood. Why can't I eat some seal meat if I want to? Can't even keep a freakin tuna if I happen to catch one from shore by accident either even if ya own a boat and have a tuna permit. but that's another story.
There used to be flounder in Pleasant Bay, the baitfish like sandeels used to constantly be up on the beaches all over the cape, just ask the rakers how they are doing lately on the outer cape
You need to have a boat to get any decent fishing for any consistency out there nowadays.You think if they had some virus and all got sick and started dying, that some save the seals group would be formed and keep people off the beaches?

Actually, once they get the virus they're gone pretty fast. In fact nobody was sure where they'd gone when they dissapeared from the North Sea. At the end of the day, nature has a way of balancing things out, and it could care less for any political party. The timetable might not be to our liking but it always happens, eventually.
