The Wingham District Office of the
Ministry of Natural Resources says close
to 350 deer were harvested during the re-
cent hunt, an increase of 20 per cent over
last year.
According to District Biologist Mike
Malhiot, "Recent mild winters have com-
bined with the ministry's harvest manage-
ment to result in a Huron County deer
population which is the highest in history".
He adds that the record harvest this year
will ensure a healthy and productive herd
well into the future.
A record number of 1,314 hunters receiv-
ed deer tags for the controlled hunt in the
Wingham District, up 14 per cent from last
year. A total of 244 deer were brought to
MNR check stations at Wingham, Hullett
and Zurich where the animals were weigh-
ed, aged, and sampled for a variety of
biological indices, using tests which are
standards throughout North America.
The largest buck brought in weighed 251
lbs. dressed weight, (335 lbs. live weight),
and was three -and -one-half years old. Ten
bucks weighed over 200 lbs. dressed
weight, but only eight animals were over
four -and -one-half years old. Fawns and
yearlings made up 65 per cent of the total
harvest.
MNR staff have radio -collared and ear -
tagged 24 deer in Huron County over the
past three years as part of a province -wide
study. Three of the collared deer were
harvested by hunters this year.
Of the 12 mortalities among the collared
deer to date, seven deaths have been at-
tributed to hunters, two each were killed
by dogs and vehicles, and one was killed by
poachers.
Pine River U.C.W.
The U.C.W. November meeting of the
Pine River United Church met on Tuesday
evening, November 9th in the basement of
the church.
The meeting opened with Ruth Farrell
taking over the duties of the president
Maithell Wilson who was under" the
weather at the time of the meeting.
Ruth opened the meeting with the sing-
ing of the hymn, "Let There be Peace on
Earth". The Purpose of the United Church
women was repeated in unison.
The roll call was answered by the 17
ladies present.
The offering was received and was
dedicated with a prayer given by Ruth
Farrell.
The meeting was then taken over by the
convenor Thelma Godfrey. Thelma read
the scriptures and the hymn, "For the
Healing of the Nations" was sung. Thelma
then showed the ladies a film which was
taken from one of the most southern
islands of the Philippines "The Vanishing
Earth". It was a very interesting film. It
gave you an insight of the life style of the
natives. But it is very sad to see what the
white man is doing.
Thelma closed in prayer. Grace was
sung and a lovely lunch was served by the
lunch committee. A social hour was had by
the ladies.
