HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1971-02-18, Page 8BY ERIC EARL I received a letter and poem from my friend Canon F. H. Paull who spends the winters in Brantford and knowing that most of you know this fine fellow I would like to share the following with you — "Dear Eric: "Your poem on the dangers of snowmobiling received most favorable comment by all of us here, The machine is dangerous and is a menace, not only to the lives and safety of those who ride them and other people too; but in other ways and to other lives . as well. Snowmobiles proved their worth in those areas hard hit by storms, like. Bayfield, and their drivers deserved the thanks and praise they received for their valuable service, and indeed, courage under very difficult conditions. "However, in the hands' of stupid and irresponsible drivers, they definitely are a menace, I heard yesterday that in a small town near here, an entire flock of turkeys were killed, dying of fright because of the dreadful noise made by one or more snowmobiles when they raced by, trespassing of course. That was a serious loss to the man, a supplier I believe to the Brantford market. "I wrote the following short poem to point up the very real menace to wildlife. The value of a snowmobile as in the storm, which I freely acknowledge, does not cancel out its gross abuses when used by thoughtless, careless drivers. "If you care to send in anything I have written to the News Record, feel free to do so. "Our best wishes to you and Mrs. Earl. Yours sincerely, F. H. Paull."

To assess snow depths as they affect deer, the department of lands and forests has snow stations throughout the deer range in the Province. Every week data is recorded on the snow depth and crust conditions for each station and forwarded to a central office in the particular district concerned. Information gathered from district stations over a period of time is used to determine the effects of snow cover on the distribution and survival of deer. Snow conditions is one factor, out of many, which may affect the deer population significantly. As more information is gathered and analyzed, management personnel will be better able to take action in the best interest of the deer herd and people who derive enjoyment from the resource.

Many sportsmen don't realize that the number of deer they see in the hunting season may be directly related to the amount of food available in a cedar swamp miles away, where the animals spent the previous winter. Many don't believe deer are lacking food unless they actually see a dead or starving animal. But a lack of food can show up in many different ways. A doe may have only one fawn instead of twins, or no fawns at all or the deer's average weight may go down or bucks may not grow as big a set of antlers as usual. Deer can survive winter by moving into the protective shelter of swamps and thickets. These "deer yards" are scattered about the country and, for reasons not yet fully understood, deer return to the same yards year after year. During the winter deer feed on the twigs and buds of certain trees. They like maple buds and cedar, for instance, but they don't like alder or spruce. A healthy deer needs about four pounds or a bushel basket of twigs and buds each day. During an average winter a deer may spend about 90 days in a yarding area. One deer, therefore, requires about 90 bushels of twigs and buds to get through the winter in good shape. Food growing in the winter yard must be within an animal's reach. A trophy buck may look 10 feet tall, to a shaky hunter clutching a "rifle, but deet'are not really very big. A mature buck stands waist high to the average man and by rearing up on hind FINAL CLEARANCE PRICES SLASHED ON Puma 440 c.c. twin.
