Attract them with those old LP records of whale songs they used to sell. Or the soundtrack of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with the same.

I guess seal bombs are unknown outside commercial fishing circles.

Some of us have a problem with humor which entails plays on words and puns. I’m not one of them. 😇

There’s a word for what we do:

Paronomasia: The technical term for punning, which relies on the phonetic similarities between words for a humorous or rhetorical effect.

I wonder if you put a full magazine of 556, 30 rounds worth into one of these animals if it would deter them and they would stop doing that to the boat. Or would it not matter. Or worse just piss them off ,not sure.

You’d likely hit vitals, and kill at least one. They aren’t stupid animals...I think they’d break off the attack. Seal bombs wouldn’t kill, but I think they’d deter.

The thing is though man they got like 6 to 8 inches of blubber if I’m not mistaken. And I’m sure you’ve seen some of those ballistic tests where they take high-powered rifles and shoot them into like clear gelatin to simulate organic tissue, and it doesn’t seem to go much further than 6 to 8 inches

I think the blubber is less around their head but then again I’m wondering if you’d penetrate the skull. Although if you did, I know they got big brains so you might score a lethal headshot who knows.

All I know is I’m a boater on the East Coast and I can really feel for these people who are getting attacked by these orcas and having that behavior spread to the East Coast without doing anything about it would piss me off

I said it in another thread earlier this week and talked about the same event that that this pod needs to be culled.

Well, they’d have parts exposed to the air. If attacking. I think rock salt would get their attention. Birdshot certainly would. Saltwater stings wounds.

An adult male Killer Whale averages around 20-25 feet in length and can weigh as much as 8 tons.

Shooting one of these critters with .556 would probably just piss it off.

It might be that these orca’s see these boats as trespassing into their territory.
