John Muir finished fourth with Mike Meadow for Jean and Ben Feagan of Goderich, while Ringle Jingle owned by Bill Bradley of Goderich was fifth for driver Ross Baffin. G.F. Dillon, owned by Vic Hargreaves of Brucefield and Barry Miller; of Kirkton, picked up his third straight win and his fourth of the year from six starts in the sixth Walter Oster trains G.F. by stave cooke Huron County twill have a deer season again this year, and it will be run along the same lines as last year. It will be a controlled hunt, with a draw for per- mits, so watch for announcements about how to get your name in. If the mail strike continues, they will probably have to make some sort of\ alternate ar- rangements. There will be a few changes this year, but all to the good. The season will be extended to four days instead of three, and there will be an increase in the number of permits issued. It was felt that there was about a 15 per cent margin of non -participation last year, so the nurpber of permits will be increased, to take up this s ek. If you plan on participating this fall, now. .is a good time to start getting ready. There are a lot of things which should be done that always seem to be put off un- til the last minute. Then they either get pushed through in a hurried, haphazard manner, or just plain never get done at all. If your're going to use buckshot, you should be look- ing for it now. When the fall rush starts, it is often dif- ficult to find the brand and size you want, and believe it or not, buckshot can be particular about how it behaves in any given gun. Different brands can make a big dif- ference in how your gun patterns,,but size can be just as, if not more, important. I played around with a lot of different combinations before settling on Winchester No. 1 buck as the load my shotgun likes best. Once I did find it, however, it served me well and collected several whitetails for me over the past few years. By starting now. von could try one hnx a week until you find the right combo for you. By the time you find the one that patterns best at 30 yds., you'll also have had some practice in "aiming'your shotgun, rather than pointing it. All these little things add up when it comes down to the moment of truth. If you plan on using slugs, starting early will give you the chance to think about some sort of sighting ar- rangement. It will also let you find out what kind of groups you can expect over a variety of ranges. Most deer are taken at ranges of under 50 yds., but if a 100 yard shot offers itself, you don't want to blow it just because you don't know where your gun is shooting at that distance. Five or six inches off center at 50 yds. doesn't mean much on a target the size of a deer, but at 100 yds., that distance is magnified and can mean a clear miss. Different brands again can make a big difference when it comes to shooting groups. The one shotgun slug that is recognized world wide as being the best is the Brenneke so if you ever see them in a sporting goods store, don't hesitate to grab a box. They're more ex- pensive, but when they put meat in the freezer, they're worth it. It's also a good time to do a little preseason scouting. Movement patterns will change when the leaves begin to fall, but the general areas can be established now, and traditional trails show up quite well in the soft green vegetation. If you find a well used trail, this is the best time to pick your stand. It saves a lot of tramp- ing around and spreading your scent about when the actual hunting begins. A tree platform built now gives the deer plenty of time to get used to it. A little bit of time spent now goes a long way when the hunting season begins. Sure, you may get lucky if yo>d leave it all till the last minute, but last year there was only about a 12 per cent success rate for Huron County. You can bet your bottom dollar that a good r rnber of those successful hunters did their grow J- wunk early. race trot, timed in 2:11.3.
