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.

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.
