delswal 3,819 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have them on my licence to cull, done it for a few years in Filey Bay for the salmon fishermen, seagulls get a good meal after hitting one in the head with a .308. Problem with culling seals is the public, fecking do gooders from cities are the first to moan, had a few run ins with them, but when you have a firearms certificate you just have to be polite as possible and move on, you cannot explain to the idiots how much damage the seals do it don't matter how many times you tell them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I paid 26k for mine it’s now around 300k with a rentable value of £1200 a month, like you say most people just sit on it waiting to die or go into care and have it all taken away from them I,m going to view another boat on Wednesday and if I like living a float I,ll sell it all in 5 years sort the kids out with a deposit each and see were life takes me, life’s an adventure not a sentence 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
