It actually tastes like pot roast. I've eaten it before.

But maybe something will happen to the seals the way it did to the Gypsy Moths. I remember when they were so thick they covered every surface. One day we woke up and they were ALL dead. Seems there was some kind of Gypsy Moth virus once the population gets too large and it kills all of them. Maybe all the seals will get sick and die.

Im no biologist, but could part of the reason be the the shark population is also down? Well that, and people dont hunt seals anymore.

Mass and the Cape does not "traditionally" harbor a high Great White population. Though it might help.....and it might change given the availability of seal meat?? Does seem to be more GW over the past few seasons.

My wife has a bunch of friends out there in the camp grounds. So I still get a sticker every year. People I used to love to see, but aren't there any more stinks! Dangles, Slipnot, Bassmaster, Bassballface, Ballsbassface, to name a few. I think the seals have depleated the strand of fish that would feed inshore. So, I got a kayak. Worked great for about 5 years. I got chased by a JAWS this Summer about a mile out. I hate SEALS!!!

My favorite was the year that I was following Bassmaster off the beach with Jess and all of her friends and we got stuck by the old man and his svengali trying to drive the Astro van out on the ORV.
