Pretty crazy stuff.
Bottom line is that we need to start managing marine mammals.
Sealions g rabbing dudes at the dock is just not acceptable.

Someone sent this to me; it looks to me like this happened in the southern California area. People doing this sort of thing teaches these animals that humans are a source of an easy meal! I agree with you Tom, they need to be controlled!

Sea Lion Skull.jpg (103.79 KiB) Viewed 2990 times

Found this in the brush one day while deer hunting, thought it was a brown bear skull at first. Since we don't have Brown Bears on this island and it was way to big to be a Black Bear skull, it is a Sea Lion. They are one of the most intimidating animals we have here when out in the kayaks. The herd bulls when they come up beside you blowing herring breath all over you when they roar. The females with young will hang sometimes with in inches of the stern grunting at you to get out of their territory, will follow for a mile or two. Still hoping to get the Swedish Tribe recognized, so I can be neighborly and help the Haida and Tlingit with there marine mammal management.
