Don't laugh. The Makah Indians at Neah Bay wanted to do a traditional
whale hunt, you know, canoes and harpoons. Soooo
they waited til someone reported whales just outside the straits. Then they
towed their war canoe out to the whales, hopped in and harpooned a young
whale. When it came up again, they shot it with a 50 cal high powered
rifle! Then towed it in with a the power boat!
Love the old traditional ways!
I was invited to try some blubber but it had already been laying on the
beach a few days.I heard it tastes a lot like spotted owl.

50 caliber rifle?? You must be quite the hunter! Suppose it's a
million
laughs blasting the whales when they come up to blow.

Don,
Hope you didn't lose your sense of humour during the election... Laugh a
little!
