Daniel cain 42,889 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Because they have a taste for these... They kill them and just take a few mouthfuls.... Then move on to the next double only thing going for them is they not too savvy on the highway code 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All thats in the lake here around me is small brownies. That's like the damage seals do to the salmon in the cages. They just push their mouths against the net and pull the flesh of the fish. They could take boxes a day costing 1000s a day. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
