HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1980-06-26, Page 7A By Steve Cooke ' 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. ; 4 4' r Goderich Twp.pitin events By.

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 group only, food booths would be-all,right-the-rec-- committee would try to help at this event, that it not be -advertised as the "opening': of the softball field.
