TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hey, do any you Canucks know where I can sign up for the annual baby seal hunt? Is there certain specifications for the club, or is it issued or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You'll have to get yourself to Newfoundland between November 15 and May 15 but the main hunt usually begins in early March, and continues through May. Your best bet is to just show up dockside at Fogo, Twiliingate or Moretons Harbour and ask one of the locals where to sign up. If you bring a bat with you they tend to treat you well but are mistrustful of people that look like city folk, have TV cameras or Hollywood starlets with them (they'll smash the cameras and I don't dare repeat what they'll do to the starlets). Aluminum bats are not well liked as the sound they make isn't very pleasing but the modern wooden bat made from northern white ash is used by many 'players'. However, the true afficianados prefer the old fashioned but heavier hickory bat. As they sign says at the Louisville Slugger museum, the "crack of the bat" remains one of the sporting world's most thrilling moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Field Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 A suthrunner like Tex might not know this, but when you cross the border into Canuck-ville, in the Central area, the pickup trucks still have gun racks by the back window, except that instead of an '06 bolt-action Model 70 Winchester (preferably pre-'64, or modern reproduction thereof) with a scope, the rack carries a hockey stick. Those effin' Canuck mofos are more gentle than us Suthrunners—until they explode a baby seals's cranium with a Louisville Slugger . . . but let's not "go there," as that would be "judgemental" or mental, or whatever . . . and we can't really judge those in another country 'till we've "walked a mile in their shoes" . . oh, no . . .

You know, the World Wildlife Fund actually came out in favor of it. Fucking dumbasses just try to save anything cute. Almost no one gives a @#!#$# about trying to actually understanding the way ecosystems work, keystone species, all that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nogbad Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Have you ever blown a seal?? 78158[/snapback] It's an oldie, but still makes one chuckle. By the way, the correct spelling for a badger's abode is "SETT" with a double T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The objective of a sustainable harvest is to maintain a relatively large and constant population size while killing a set number of animals each year.

Guest Nogbad Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Whoops- apologies for my spelling Mr Oddie! Have you got your Buell yet Noggers? Guy 78166[/snapback] I have paid for it, and have the receipt. Yesterday I had to fly to Edinburgh for a business meeting, so I called in and had a sit on it (in my suit) and started it up. My God, is it loud or what, I'll have to be careful not to get my collar felt by Martin's colleagues..... Not collecting it till next month though, because they offered me an 06 plate if I was prepared to wait, and I thought it might be worth a bit in resale value. All the special offer bikes are gone now and the price is back up to almost 8K for the same spec as mine so I consider I did quite well. By the way, when you added the missing T in "SETT" your finger must have been shaking. Take a look. Hope you don't have the DTs....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 I honestly don't see any problem with bludgeoning baby seals to death. You think they look all cute and defenseless...just don't turn your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 It's about the same as offing a cow, chicken, pig, moose, deer, ducks, rabbits,fish did I miss a species?. The baby seals look cute in their white coat and against the white ice backdrop the blood an guts, if they were doing this industry in a building there would not be as much of a protest. Personally I don't give a shit about whether it's P C or not. I just like drinking beer & killing shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
