When does the harp seal hunt?

Answer 1

Harp seals primarily breed during the winter and early spring months, typically from late February to early April. This is when they give birth to their pups on sea ice in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The hunt for harp seals usually occurs during this breeding season, as hunters target both adult seals and their pups. The timing can vary slightly depending on regional ice conditions and local regulations.
