Generally, anything can be hunted, as long as an agency for regulation and biological survey and maintenance is established. Deer, elk, moose, caribou, & bear in North America are regulated in this way, as are African and Indian trophy animals as well.
Question is why would you want to do it, with the supermarkets brimming with steaks and fish and lobster?
Seals and sea lions are members of the cat and dog family, and their meat probably tastes like cat and dog meat as well. Although I am no Eskimo therefore I cannot say.
In Norway they still make boots out of seal fur, quite warm, and if I lived in Norway I probably would want my own pair too.
There would not be much challenge in hunting seals however.
I think hunters who want a challenge should hunt Alaskan or Canadian grizzly bears. You need a really powerful rifle, which normally holds 3 huge powerful rounds, and a 44 revolver as a backup. I think your odds of getting the bear are about 50%, and the odds of the bear getting you, even after you unload 9 rounds into him (3 rifle and 6 revolver) are about 50% as well. Makes sense to me.
