Does anyone out there know what the commercial fishing term of "I just took a picture of a nice seal" means? It is generally used when using the CB radio.

Not for sure, but I'll give you one guess. Could it mean anything else?

Probably using a 7MM Nikon?

Hey, we agree on that one Capt. Maybe a different brand of 7MM though? http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif And maybe a 9MM?
Edit: BTW, I hope you aren't still mad at me over the Gillnet thread snaffu. I don't even know ya, so it was just a passionate issue thing. That's all. http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif - RT

We liked the .22 Pentax.

That would be a .22 Pentax with a rubber calf nipple over the lens this eliminates all shutter noise. Not that I would know anything about such photography. But it makes a pretty picture.

Hey,
Those seals would eat less if they were given a steady dose of luisville sedatives,
Club Seal, That rocks....

The troller's dictionary,eqivilant of Websters,lists this activity as successfully using anything with a 'lens' between .30 cal. and 12 guage. At least thats the version between Westport and Eureka.

Too much noise, guys!!! Don't shoot with anything less than a blowgun at close range. Don't forget to use poison darts http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I love seals.....they taste like chicken http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My "camera" of choice?
My old HK 91 with *original* HK scope mount and front swivel bi-pod. Most accurate firearm I have ever owned.
With open sights at 200 yds, you could consistantly put holes in a silver dollar all day long. Damn, I miss that rifle.

Parker, Parker. For truly long range photography, you really need a professional camera. When I went through the U.S. Army Sniper School (er...photography school) we used an M21 (basically your garden variety National Match M14 that was fitted with a Hart air-gauged barrel, glass bedded, stress relieved, with a two stage trigger that broke in ounces, not pounds) These cameras were capable of "capturing" their subjects with scintillating detail at ranges exceeding 1,000 yards, using a special brand of 7.62mm boat-tail film. The standard of accuracy was on the order of 10 consecutive shots in a 10" circle at 1,000 yards. Long distance is the preferred way to alleviate all problems associated with photographing troublesome wildlife. http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

dawhunt, the compound kodiak works quit well also, the only problem I have is those 125mm heads are $38.00 a half dozen now. But you can retrievet them if you get total pass through cause believe it or not they float.

Metalhead, Do the carbon fiber bipods float also? I know the Aluminum bipods float.
