New England guys

Everyone up needs to be careful the way it sounds.

Wow not good.

"conservation success story"

Because the only measure of success seems to be the population of large predators that compete with and hunt humans.

No it isn’t Bruce, Donner this article was one of the shortest to the point of sharks begin in New England I could find.

I'm not criticizing you for posting the article. I am just sick of that narrative that keeps being pushed. I feel its a narrative pushed to help force us into passive management of wildlife and habitat.

Personally ide like to see alot more Montana Grizz being skun and ide take a bowl of white shark soup from New England.

Yes indeed!

It’s all good, been a long day I’m a little edgy.

Lol.....theres a reason why I won't swim in the ocean or wade out past my ankles on the beach.I watched jaws when I was a kid.

The water is so cold in July....you need a wet suit to swim in it.....or have just the right amount of Beeahs in yah

Yep and look like a seal with that wetsuit on.No thanks.I will pass.

Plus the water is only warms up to 58 degrees most of the time in Maine.

You telling me you wouldn't try this?

Nope.No way......

Moral of the story is to not dress like a seal, sadly.

I got thinking I shouldn’t have posted this because now we will see nessmuck, BruceT, and scuba in nessmuck’s canoe using BruceT’s fishing poles and scuba’s knowledge of shark fishing, trying to catch a great white shark.

Let the show begin!!!

someone needs a bang stick

3 stooges vs Great White, ide order the paper view.

Watch this youtube video of a Great White encounter, see if you would have the pair to do what this girl does.

Eh... the ocean is a big place. Their prey is back, which IS a conservation success story. We need to support functioning food webs, you can’t pick and choose to let parts of the puzzle exist but throw out others. If the food is there, something will be there to eat it.

I heard about this earlier. Not a shark fan at all. If you need info out of me don’t worry about waterboarding me just put me in open water with my toes dangling and I confess all my sins. Flatlander thing I guess. I’d rather kiss a rattlesnake.

Yep, hers are bigger. No thanks

Let’s Gooooooooo...... and then we will strap it to the side of the Freighter....and drag it to shore

I don't want to see them wiped out but it is reasonably easy to control apex predator populations and the effects they have. When you have animals that are an ever present danger and start to drastically change how humans interact with the environment then it's time to reassess the number of those predators that exist.

Curious,because I know nothing about sharks,other than I wouldn't swim in the ocean.Do you have sharks on Maine's coast,or is that considered too far north?

Sounds to me like there is now a harvestable surplus.

Just watched Tucker Carlson,he ran a story where a woman was killed by a great white off the Maine coast.Guess that answered my question.

Gonna need a bigger boat.

White sharks range as far north as Alaska and they can be found there year round in open water, their northern range is limited only by prey. They also do not care for Orcas as Orcas will actively hunt and kill them.

push your glasses up.

I avoided sewer drains on my way home from the movies that night.

I asked the question because all the stories you ever hear about sharks are south.Never hear of them up north.Interesting.
