Record numbers of Huron deer
The Wingham District Office of
the Ministry of Natural Resources
says that close to350 deer were har-
vested during the recent hunt, an in-
crease of 20 percent over last year.
According to District Biologist
Mike Malhiot, "Recent mild win-
ters have combined with the mini-
stry's harvest management 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 1314 hunters
received deer tags for the controlled
hunt in the Wingham District, up
14 percent from last year. A total of
244 deer were brought to MNR
check stations at Wingham, Hullett
and Zurich where the animals were
weighed, aged, and sampled for a va-
riety 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
percent of the total harvest.
MNR staff have radio -collared and
car -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 hunt-
ers this year.
Of the 12 mortalities among the
collared deer to date, seven deaths
have been attributed tohunters, two
each were killed by dogsand vehi-
cles, and one was killed by poach-
ers.

and cards of one sort or another. The
momings are busy, of course, with
the various other programs we have
