I believe a 22 Hornet is the preferred medicine of the modern-day seal Hunter.

Still clubbing and shooting. Check out the trusty hakapik.

Seal last spotted outside Stringfellas, so yes.

Certainly work up an appetite, probably need a caddy with various clubs and definitely plastic handles as not to loose grip with all that claret about. Seriously though think the baby seals in the white would be hard work and take some chasing about pre tapping

Somewhere there’s a great period video of this approach to seal hunting but I can’t find it so this will have to do:

I heard he’d gone a little craa-aa-aa-azy, must’ve been true if he was spotted there….

Seals are still being shot on the east coast of Canada - see William Larkham jnr on YouTube. He always takes the carcass for food, as one should imo. Anyone know what it tastes like? I wouldn’t be averse to trying it.

Tastes like chicken

It was always a shame when our friends in the EU decided that we could no longer use Seal skin for sporran making..... very robust they are too. And the ever increasing numbers of seals around our coasts could do with thinning out a wee bit!
Still, if I need a replacement, I could always use something ethically sourced like badger or fox!

Would like to try one as well, north east coast jumping in some places, on the up and up, need a cull which is the opinion of many, but who knows

Seal clubbing was something I would have been happy to have been involved in twenty or so years ago, without any problems. Now personally think a tad barbaric and there are better methods but not against them been clubbed or shot by those that wish, more the better in some places.
