Attention would be hunters 9 If you are under 30 years
of age, and want to obtain a hunting licence for the first
time, you MUST take a Safe Hunter's Course before
you can try the exam. A course run by Wallace Mon-
tgomery is now in progress (the first session was Mon-
day night), and if you catch the second lesson tonight
(Wed., Sept. 21st), you may still be able to get your
licence by mid October in time for the hunting season.
Otherwise you will have to wait until enough people
have been organized for a second course. Contact
Wallace Montgomery at 482-9368 after 5:00 p.m. for
more information, but don't delay if you want to hunt
this year.

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, in co-
operation with the Canadian Wildlife Service, is ap-
pealing.to duck hunters this year to voluntarily reduce
their harvest of black ducks, in an attempt to stem a
serious population decline within the breeding popula-
tion.
Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said that
while new regulations which would reduce the Ontario
harvest of black ducks are not planned for the upcom-
ing harvest season,they are being considered for 1984.
"I want hunters to be aware of the black duck issue,"
Mr. Pope said. "The more co-operation we get in 1983,
the better prepared we will be to draft new regulations
- if they are deemed necessary - that are most sensitive
to hunters' needs."
Black ducks are found m eastern North America.
Since 1955, their numbers have declined by approx-
imately 60 per cent. In Ontario, the harvest of black
ducks has dropped more than 25 per cent since 1968 -
from 119,000 to ,000 in 1982. Counts of breeding pairs
of black ducks in the province further confirm
dramatic population reductions.
Reasons for the decline in Ontario, Mr. Pope said,
may include deterioration of breeding habitat, loss of
wintering habitat, cross -breeding with mallard ducks
and hunting mortality, particularly among immature
ducks.
The minister urged hunters to avoid shooting black
ducks and to take other species instead.
"In preparation for possible changes in 1984," he
said, "hunters should pay particular attention to
developing their skills at identifying black ducks and
distinguishing them from other species."
Mr. Pope suggested hunters learn to distinguish the
black duck from its close relative, the mallard.
The black duck has a very dark body and upper
wings, with contrasting white on the underwing.
Mallard ducks have lighter brown bodies, the same
contrasting white on the underwing, but two distinct
white lines on part of the upper wing.
In the United States, regulations aimed at reducing
the black duck harvest by 25 per cent have been put in-
to effect this year.
"Ontario is . a member of both the Atlantic and
Mississippi Flyway Councils," Mr. Pope said, "and we
will be working closely with our U.S. counterparts in
establishingand maintaining continental management
objectives.
"For the time being, however, we would like to
achieve a reduction in the harvest of black ducks in this
province by calling on the hunting community for their
co-operation and advice, and through the development
of better breeding and harvest surveys."
"I would urge all sportsmen to contact offices of my
ministry or the Canadian Wildlife Service with their
questions pr views," Mr. Pope added.
"This kind of communication, I believe, is the best
way to achieve our conservation objectives," conclud-
ed Mr. Pope.

Hully Gully Results
The final race of the Hully
Gully House League series
was held Saturday,
September 17th under what
began as threatening skies.
The rain that fell earlier
soaked the track to a near -
perfect level. What ensued
throughout the day was fast
racing on a track that had
the precise combination of
traction and moisture. Since
it remained cloudy and cool
all day, the track didn't dry
out appreciably, but remain-
ed extremely fast for all
classes run. Today's results
were tabulated with the en-
tire seasons, and after the
days races, riders were
treated to a little party
thrown by organizers. After
the presentations of awards
for the days' racing, par-
ticipants were also awarded
trophies for their standings
after the season ended.
