Hunters this fall will find that a new forMat for
famtingliclences will be used, Lod a few majer
changesWill take. place. These Changes. are
designed (from what 1 understand) to assist
biologists in the gathering of -more specific data
cenCerning wiIdlife species, make the
Pregeduie less confusing for the hunter and
.-bring everything into line with our present
•Management techniques.
The most noticeable -Change will be the
elimination ;of the tnoose-bear and deer -bear
licence. Starting this fall, the black bear licence
will be a completely separate category, If you
purchase one, it will probably be a spring bear
licence which has had its expiry date extericleclio
Dec. 31, 1980. Future .tear licences will combine *
both the spring and the falthunt and-theifthit will
410 be one bear per season. Tlui past regulations •
'allowed for one bear per licence, Which -in effect,
permitted the hunter to take Up to three bears
per year. This new r system- will allow the
Ministry' -of Natural Resources-to-moreac—
curately assess the black hear population and
determine success ratios of,the hunters.
The big change in the deer licence is one you
are probably already aware, of, The basic deer •
licence will be valid only for the taking of a deer
that has at least one antler greater than 7.5 cm (3
inches) in length. There 'will be antlerless deer
validation tags which can be affixed to the back
of the licence in some areas and these will be
available only to Ontario residents. Bowhunters
will be required to obtain an archery tag which
will be attached to the back of the licence and
validate it for use with archery equipment.
The small game licence Will be valid as
follows: Sept. L to June 15 in the Northern
Region; Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 on game bird hunting
preserves across the province; Sept. 1 to March
31 in the Southern Region. Residents,,will also be
able to purchase a summer small game tag
(formerly known as the varmint licence) that
will make it valid from April 1 to August 31 in the
Southern Region. A tag will also be available for
hunting raccoon at night with a dog.
The basic fee structure for licences will be as
follows: resident's licende to hunt deer, $15;
farmer's licence to hunt,deer, $10; archery tag to
hunt deer, $1;..resident'slicence.to hunt-moose,-
$20,-, resident's licence to hunt black bear, $10;
licence to thunt - small game, $5; resident's
summer game tag', $5; residenitls' raccoon tag to
hunt at night, $5. .
The new system should make -it a lot more
convenient for both the hunter and the Ministry
of Natural Resources. The new seasons and bag
limits will hopefilIfy produce better hunting for
everyone in the future, so if we bear with the
impositions a while, we will also rap the
benefits.
New regulations concerning the Moose season
this year have been set, so if you are a yearly
moose hunter, you better check and, see what's
happened in your area. Bag limits have been
reduced, and seasoni dates have changed, scr4
make Sure you've arranged your holidays for the
right dates.
+
Remington hs , announced- several new
products for the coming year, so the next time
you're in a gun shoiS--, ask about them. The new
cartridge they've developed - the 7mm-308 --
should proVe to be a popular and efficient little
game getter as well as being an accurate round.
Their new system of shorter shotgun barrels will
also be interesting to the hunter.
We always seem to drag a bit behind when it
,.. comes to getting this stuff in Canada, but in .a
way that's good. It gives the Yanks lots of time to
test new products and work the bugs out so by the
time it appears here, it's tested and proven, and
most of the bugs have been worked out.

Pat • Rivett also

The program k com-
mittee was askAed to
mernbers of the winning
teams. What Mr. Bell was
asking the rec board was
money to pay for any
deficits incurred.
After considering the
proposal at some length
chairman Doug Yeo
thanked Pat for Art Bell
for his enthusiastic and
ambitious plans.
However the board
passed a motion that the
softball conimittee
consider a limited ball
tournament for this year
(since the softball field
conditions need a little
time to mature before a
special "opening"). The
rec committee suggested
in the same motion that
this limited tournament
be self supporting, at no
cost to the twsp. one age

help at this event, that it
not be -advertised as the
