Frank MacDonald of Clinton was third with Skippy Dover and fourth with Wee Devil at London on Sunday afternoon. Skiers will be happy to see the''snow so they can get out of those boards and go. The downhill season will soon be here with Blue Mountain reporting poor to fair conditions last weekend, and Talisman reporting good » limited con- ditions. Only a lack of snow in the fields is keeping the cross country enthusiast home, but from the way the weather has been going, that may change only too soon. Coon and fox hunters should know that a shipment of fur is going to North Bay on Dec. 29th. All pelts, with the exception of muskrat, must be stamped by the Ministry of Natural Resources, so perhaps you should be looking into . that now. Stamping is done at the Ministry Offices in Wingham, or at the maintenance buildings in Hullett on Wednesday mornings between 8 a.m. and noon. More information on pickup dates, etc. can be obtained from Elmer,. Trick on Rattenbury Street. James Auld, the Minister of Natural Resources, has announced that Bill 59, an Act to amend the Ontario Game and Fish Act, received Royal Assent on November 14, 1980. "Bill 59, which is now in force, allows clearer and more precise, control involving.hunters, trappers and other users of wildlife resources numbering three to four million people", he said. "It -also -- resolves many concerns of naturalists, humane associations, and animal welfare groups. The concern's of all will be readily served by the additions to the statute." A few of the major changes provided for in the act are:. separate classification for elk in order to give them specific protection. - additional controls necessary for the preservation and use of deer and moose, and mandatory reporting of hunter success; - protection of reptiles and amphibians to assure that scientific and commercial use does not lead to them becoming endangered species in Ontario; - raising maximum fines to $5,000.00 from $1,000.00 for infractions of the law; ; - provisions to restrict use and possession of traps; - provisions concerning the training of hunting dogs and field trials held outside of the normal hunting season. "Hunters, trappers and other wildlife users should carefully read summaries of the 1981 regulations and note all changesand additions applicable to their use of 'wildlife resources," Mr. Auld said. "If there is any part of the legislation they do not understand they can get help from the nearest district office of the -Ministry". "Amendment of the_ Act reflects the increasing interest by Ontario residents in protecting our wildlife resources," the Minister. added. It sounds to me like hunters and trappers are going to get wacked /with a bunc-h more restrictions. Three to i( four , million- "wildlife users" seems to me to bk a sizeable proportion of the population, yet thalt doesn't seem to bother the government. It appears that they have forgotten that their job is to represent the people. I would have thought that an effort to ,solicit advice and recommendations from concerned groups and individuals, before the changes were made, would have been in order, but I guess they've decided that they know what's best for us. Moose hunting seasons for 1981 will be basically the same as 1980. Party hunting will be the rule with two or three tags required to validate a moose. Tags will have to be affixed at' the site of the kill and the corresponding licences will become invalid. As per last year, the seals should be placed. through the ,tendons on one of the hind legs. Also, after October 31, hunters may hunt alone and take one moose per licence, where t e seasons extend past that date. The 1981 hunting regulations summ-ar;y will have to be consulted for exact dates, but if you have to speak for your holidays early, last year's regulations willbe cosizii a pretty fair idea of the times involved.
