High rate of success in deer hunts
WINGHAM - The Wingham
Area Office of the Ministry of Nat-
ural Resources has released its re-
sults of the Controlled Deer Hunts
in Wildlife Management Units 85
(Huron County + Minto Twp) and
WMU 86. (Perth County) The re-
sults are based on results from the
Mandatory reports returned by
hunters who participated in the
shotgun hunts during November 7
to November 11 (WMU 85) and
December 5 to December 9 (WMU
86).
These results do not include those
deer harvested by archers.
In WMU 85, there were 2337
controlled deer hunt tags issued
with a harvest resulting in 916 deer.
This translates into a 39% success

rate.
There were 749 tags issued in
WMU 86 with a harvest of 265
deer or a 35% success rate.
Mike Malhiot, Area Biologist
states that " Both counties are sup-
porting a healthy number of deer.
A controlled hunt is a useful tool in
maintaining a stable deer herd
while attempting to balance con-
cerns about crop damage and vehi-
cle collisions. Although forest
cover in 'Perth County is quite low
( about 9%of the land area), the
county still supports a population in
the neighbourhood of 2500 deer.
In Huron County, where forest -
cover is significantly greater
(17%of the land area), the deer
population is estimated to be about
9000 animals."
Conservation and Deputy Con-
servation officers reported a low
occurrence of incidents during the
hunts. In total there were 4 charges
laid airing the Huron Controlled
Hunt and no charges laid in the
Perth Controlled Hunt.
