In Wildlife Management Area Unit 85, which includes all of Huron County as well as Minto Township in Wellington County, the season for Ontario residents only, hunting with bows, has been set as October 15 to November 1, and again November 6 to Decem- ber31. The season for shotguns and muzzle loaders only is Novem­ ber 2 - 5. In Unit 84, southern Bruce County, the bow-hunting season will run from October 15 to November 1, and from November 7 to December 15, while the season for rifles, shotguns, bows and muzzle loaders is November 2-6. In Unit 86, Perth County, the residents-only bow hunting season isOctober 15toDecember31. Dogs are not allowed in any deer hunt in any of these areas. Unit 85 is managed through a controlled four-day hunt in which all hunters must have their deer licenses validated by a special tag. All farmers and landowners with 50 acres or more are eligible for a tag, while other Ontario residents must enter their names in a lottery-type draw for a limited number of validation tags. Application for this hunt will be available from the Wingham Dis­ trict office after July 27, and applications must be in to the Wingham office by 5 p.m. on August 31. Farmers and landown­ ers are asked to apply for the hunt before October 25. Controlled deer hunts have been held in Huron County since 1980. In 1986, 1,157 hunters received tags, and 292 deer were harvested. Unit 84 is managed by the selective harvest system, and hunters must, therefore, submit their applications for an antlerless deer tag to an M N R district office or to the ministry’s Wildlife Branch in in prize money, promising fun and excitement for all competitors. For the first time, the tourna­ ment is co-sponsored by the Torontoby5p.m., July31. Only successful applicants will be noti­ fied and 200 antlerless tags (an increase of 75 tags over 1986) will be issued. Details on the 1987 deer seasons are available from any MNR office or from a licence issuer. RADIO-COLLARED DEER In 1985, MNR initiated a large- scalefield study of white-tailed deer to increase managers’ know­ ledge of deer in Ontario. The heart of the study is the capture and radio-collaring of deer and subsequent monitoring of activity, movements, survival and behavior of the collared animals. The local Wingham office is one of four district involved in the study. A total of 25 deer have been captured in Huron County to date. Eight does received permanent radio collars, while 16 bucks were fitted with a breakaway collar which woulddropoffthe animal when the buck’s neck enlarged during the fall mating season. All 25 deer were ear-tagged. As of July 1, eight deer were still being monitored. The wherea­ bouts of a collared doe was unkown, as were the locations of seven bucks which dropped their collars prior to 1987. Nine deer have been killed during the study; two by dogs, two by vehicles, four during the 1986 hunt and one deer shot illegally, out of season. Someofthe more interesting observations noted include a 60- kilometre (40 mile) migration by a buck between its winter and summer range, and a 22-kilometre (14 mile) one-way movement by a doe during the four days of last year’s hunt. The average distance travelled from winter to summer range has been 23 kilometres (14 miles) for deer north of Highway 8, and 10kilometres(sixmiles)for deer south of Highway 8. Hunters who shoot an ear-tagg­ ed or radio-collared deer are urged tobringtheanima! to one of the MNR check station".
