Season
waterfowl
underway
For the upcoming 1988 waterfowl season
at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area
north of Clinton, the Ministry of Natural
Resources is implementing some changes
to the current controlled waterfowl hunt.
These changes will facilitate improved
area management in terms of parking con-
trol, sanitation and the disposal of litter.
The new system will enable the Ministry to
maximize hunting opportunities while at
the same time provide a fair and equal op-
portunity to all hunters.
To hunt in waterfowl unit Zone A on any
of the following dates, September 24,
September 26 through October 1, 1988,
waterfowl hunters must:
- register at L15, C7 parking lot (across
from the viewing stand) for each day's
hunt; and
- participate in a draw at 10:00 p.m. each
night for the following day's hunt.
This draw determines the order of
choice for hunting stakes, not the stake
number itself. The first fifty-two (52)
motor vehicles in parking lot C7 will
qualify for the draw (unoccupied vehicles
will not be eligible) . In the event that all
fifty-two (52) stakes are not taken in the
draw, the remaining stakes will be
allocated on a first come, first served
basis. Although two (2) people may occupy
a hunting stake, only one (1) draw per
vehicle will be permitted.
Overnight parking will be allowed ONLY
in L15, C7, across from the viewing stand.
Camper trailers WILL NOT BE PERMIT-
TED. All remaining parking lots will be
closed daily from 9:00 p.m, to 3:00 a.m.
Upon receipt of his/her Hunter Valida-
tion/Harvest Card (HV/HC), a hunter will
deposit his/her small game licence with
the parking lot operator. Zone A parking
lots will be opened at 3:00 a.m. each day,
The HV/HC MUST be displayed in a man-
ner•so that it can be easily seen, prefer-
rably on the dash of the vehicle when park-
ed in Zone A.
Each day, at the conclusion of the hunt,
the hunter will return the HV/HC to the
parking lot operator and retrieve the small
game licence. Bag checks and hunter suc-
cess information will be requested at this
time.
In the initial year of operation (1988),
there will be no fees charged. In 1989, it is
anticipated that it will be necessary to im-
plement a user fee for the waterfowl hunt
at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area.
