The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is
growling every day, but a big drive to add new
members will take place this year. The "anti"
organizations are growing every year and unless we
fight back, we'll soon lase our hunting and fishing.
Greenpeace has publicly stated that the seal haunt was
their first priority. When at's completed, their next
target is trapping, with hunting and fishing right
behind. No, it's not conjecture — the organization's ex-
ecutives have actually announced at.
Other organizations are also jumping on the band-
wagon. Why not? It's an easy way to make money with
all the gullible people around, and as long as they kick
up a fuss in the news media, the money keeps coming
in. In a letter from Tom Walters from OFAH, he points
out that:
They I the anti's) have just recently approached
every household in the city of Ottawa, as well as other
major cities, for a cash donation to help them in their
fight. One way of reducing hunting immediately is to
get as much land as possible posted no hunting. The
less land available to hunters. the fewer 0000rtunities
they have. They don't think small. In fact, over
10,500,000 acres of Crown land ( presently used for hun-
ting) is very close to having much of that posted no
hunting. In some cases no boating or fishing will be
allowed by merely getting the government to call them
parks instead of Crown land. They are very, very close
to accomplishing this act.
The only way we can fight back is with a strong
counter organization, and the Federation of Anglers
and Hunters is just that, but it needs a strong member-
ship to be effective. If you don't belong now - JOIN, and
if you do belong, sign up for a friend. Just drop a note
saying you would like to join to: Tom Walters, c/o
OFAH, P.O. Box 28, Peterborough, Ontario, K9J 6Y5
and he'll send you out an application form and informa-
tion. Don't put it off, or it may be too late.
The silver anniversary of the "Molson" Big Fish
Contest casts off on the 15th day of April, 1983 and will
celebrate with the addition of a new catch and live
release category. The 25 year old contest, operated by
the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, has
over $35,000.00 in cash and prizes to be won.
Anglers can win 18 Evinrude electric trolling motors
and 270 Mitchell rod and reel combinations, plus up to
$600 cash in each of nine species categories. In addition
to these awards, an honor award will be sent to each
entrant whose fish meet the minimum standards in
both the regular and a new live release category.
The live release category is` a special addition to this
year's contest which will enable those sportsmen that
catch and release fish, the opportunity of entering, the
contest. The only difference is you will have to carry a
camera and measuring tape in your tackle box to be
able to adequately complete the entry form. Each fish
can only be entered in one category or the other but of-
fers a conservation oriented alternative to the angler.
This year, the coho and chinook will be combined into
one salmon category. Leading fish scientists have
determined it is becoming more and more difficult to
distinguish between the two species without doing an
internal examination. The increasing similarities
between the salmon are presumed to be the result of
similar habitats being shared by both species.
All fish may be entered in one of the nine categories
and those reaching the minimum length or weight re-
quirements are eligible to win a personalized com-
memorative 25th anniversary plaque.
Ontario's most prestigious fishing contest has attain-
ed international recognition. All entries are subject to
Ontario Fishing Regulations. The entry forms for 1983
are available at most tackle shops, ;lodges, taxider-
mists, Evinrude dealerships, "ANGLER & HUNTER"
magazine or direct from The Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters, Box 28, Peterborough, Ontario,
K9J 6Y5.
For those hunters planning their fall activities, small
game seasons will remain basically unchanged for
• 1983, Ontario Natural Resources Minister Alan 'Pope
announced today.
"There will be increased opportunities to hunt phea-
sant in parts of southern Ontario," said Mr. Pope. ag
limits, season length and/or hunting hours have been
liberalized in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 78,
89, 90 and 92. These changes are for areas where put -
and -take hunting occurs and reproduction by wild
over -wintered birds is minimal to non-existent.

soccer meetings were held in
Seaforth to discuss the up-
coming season.

including Junior and
Seniors, are governed by the
Ontario Soccer Association.
In Clinton the teams are
considered to be number 0702

Clinton, Seaforth, St.
Columban and Goderich
have decided to use the old
registration forms and
basically remain a bush
league, only playing in their
league and not playing any
Ontario Cup Soccer games or
teams.
A great deal of discussion
was connected with this
year's registration fee and it
was decided that each team
will pay $20 to register.

Travelling was also
discussed at the meeting and
it was hoped that a Northern
League could be set up to
eliminate the long drives to
Port Elgin and Kincardine.
