HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-03-30, Page 13If you hunted moose iu st year, your application for the draw for l''` • is in the mail to you. If you didn't hunt last year and plan to do so this year, you should get in hon..' with MNR and get a form so that you too can rticipate in the draw for an adult moose. Everyone who buys a licence this year will be able to take a moose, but only those people with the ap- propriate validation stickers will be able to shoot a bull or a cow. All the rest of the hunters will be restricted to imn:nature moose of the year. The idea behind this whole scheme is to protect the se, went of the population, which will, hopefully, in- crease the population over the course of the next few years. The highest mortality rate res,. ting from winter starvation and predation is experienced by the calvets of the year, and it is hoped that this scheme will utilize that wasted resource while protecing the herds breeders at the same time. This concept has been used successfully in Scandinavia for some time, and there is no reason why it shouldn't work for us as well. Everyone who wants to, still has the opportunity to hunt for moose, but the population is being protected at the same time- It's a much better proposition than any sort of a draw. You'd better learn how to identify a juvenile, however, as there is bound to be lots of Conservation Officers in the field this year. +++ Not long ago, 1 wrote a column about the hunter safety course in Ontario. Well, it seems some changes are being made, and they are starting with the examination itself. The regulations are being tightened up in an attempt to make hunting even safer than it is, and the changes are aimed at educating the hunter before he goes into the field. Under the new regulations, if you live in Ontario, haven't had a resident's hunting licence since January 1, 1968 and want one, you'll have to pass Ontario's hunting licence examination – even if you have a hunting licence from another province or country. And if you were born after December 31, 1954 and have never had a hunting licence, you will have to complete Ontario's Hunter Training Course before applying for the exam. A resident who has had a hunting licence or a hunter safety certificate issued in any other jurisdiction after January 1, 1968, was born after December 31, 1954, and fails the examination, must complete the Ontario safety training course, if not previously taken, before reapplying. These amendments to the Ontario hunting regulations – effective July 1, 1983 – complement the ministry's hunter education program which aims to upgrade and improve the knowledge and skills of Ontario's hunters. "What we're trying to do, of course, is to reduce the number off hunting accidents — and if statistics are any indication, we're succeeding," Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said. "In 1961, 36 hunters were killed and 118 were injured as a result of careless hunting — 20 years later, three were killed and 34 were injured." The success of the hunter education program – which began in 1957 – has been largely due to the de.ecation of voluntary hunter education instructors who conduct the training courses. Certified by the ministry, the instructors – many of them members of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters – have already trained more than 5i:i, t11 prospective hunters.

The origins of sport stem i,from the t ate , when self- iSre'servatio :' ,ed to be the all -consuming human preoccupation. Archery was a hunting skill in the Mesolithic times (by c. 8 B.C.) ; but did not become an organized sport until about 300 A D.; among the Genoese. The earliest dated evidence for sport is c. 2450 B.C. for fowling with throwing sticks and hunting. Ball games by girls, depicted on Mid,:e Kingdon' murals at Ben Hasan, Egypt, have been dated to c. 2050 B.C. - from the Guinness Sports ecord Book. FST \NT SADE!
