Skating for Saturday sessions should begin on October.25th. Well, the deer season for Huron County is off to a good start and if you don't have a validation sticker,it's your fault. Doug Puffer at` the Ministry Office reports that the draw went very well and that in fact, for a while it didn't even look as if a draw was going to be necessary. Apparently, only 638 names were submitted for. the draW, of which 625 were drawn, so virtually everyone who applied got a permit. There is, however, a preference for certain areas in the county as area 89 was the most subscribed for area-. Area 91 was also over- subscribed with 90 being the only one in which there was a lack of applications so, as I said, basically everyone who applied got a permit, but not necessarily in the area of their first choice. If you haven't already received your permit in the mail, look- forit soon. The Wingham offices started sending them out early this week but it will take some time to get them all processed. If you don't get it by the end of the week, you must assume you're one of the unlucky few who didn't get drawn. There is a good deal of optimism surrounding the hunt. As it turned out, 85-90 percent of the applications came from within the Wingham District which is just what the Ministry of Natural Resources wanted and hoped for, With the landowner permits still to be issued, the Wingham office figures on a controlled hunt of approximately 1,000 hunters. Based on the Provincial average of 12-14 percent success rate, they figure that somewhere between 100 and 150 deer will be taken. Out of an estimated deer herd of around 5,500 in the county, the total taken will have no effect on the total population. The Ministry is also hoping that hunters will help them gather some much needed information to help them more accurately as'ses,s-the condition of the deer herd in Huron. In order to get this information, check stations are going to be set up throughout the county. - Plans are to have a station at the Ministry Offices at Wingham, the maintenance buildings at Hullett, one at Point Farms and the fourth at the college in Centralia. There will also be a mobile check station moving- throughout- the area. It is hoped that successful hunters will co- operate by getting their deer to one of these stations so that sex, age, weight, physical con- dition, etc. can be checked and tallied. Accurate and detailed information is absolutely necessary if any meaningful study is going to be made. There are a few other things that do need'to be pointed out. This is a "controlled" hunt and the Ministry is going to do everything they can to make it a successful one. To this effect; hunters are advised,that the new Petty Trespass Laws are now officially on the books and complaints will be handled by the OPP. This means that hunters must have permission to trespass on land whether it is posted or not. If you're plan- ning on hunting an area, you'd better get out knocking on doors now. They also advise that there will be a lot of extra Conservation Officers afield to check on hunters and charges will be laid where applicable. Make sure you know all the rules and regulations that apply BEFORE you start hunting. Any questions you might have can be answered -by a simple call to the Wingham Offices. As you know muzzle loaders and shotguns are the only legal firearms for this hunt, and even then there are restrictions. Shotguns must be 20 ga. or larger and shoot either slugs or buckshot larger than No. 1 buck or S.G. It is generally recommended, however, that SSG's (or 00 Buck) be used for quicker, cleaner kills. If you don't have a valid permit for deer in Huron, you'd better not go hunting with any rifle of larger caliber than .22 rimfire (long rifle, riot magnum) or with shot sizes larger than number.2's during the three days of the deer season. + -f- -}- I've heard rumors that the big fish are in the rivers up north for the fall run, but haven't had' any reports regarding the Bayfield and Maitland yet. Chances are, however, if they're up north, they won't be long coming in down here, so you steelhead fanatics better get your gear polished up. 5 with teg;Stration bet - Ween 8 p.m, and 9 p.in. starting tournament at 9 p.m. sharp.
