A newregulation concerning Black Ducks
will be in effect this fall, so waterfowlers
would be well advised to brush up on their
identifi .atibn skills. A definite decline in
Black Duck populations has been recorded
since 1955 due to habitat deterioration,
hybridization and competition with
Mallards, and hunting pressures. As a result
Of this, bag limits have been reduced this
year for five years in an attempt to pinpoint
the direct cause. A similar program was
started in the U.S. in 1983, and both coun-
tries will co-operate in the research and
monitoring of the populations to better
understand the impact of hybridization with
Mallards on Black Duck populations.
What it all boils down to is that hunters in
the southern, central and Lake Francis
districts will have a limit of one Black Duck
per day while those in the Hudson's Bay and
northern districts will be limited to two per
day. Let's hope that these measures make
the difference and start the Black Duck on
the road to recovery.

Poachers in Ontario are in for a rough
road ahead as a result of a program being
operated by the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.). The
Federation is making available to its 375 af-
filiated clubs, bright red posters entitled
"REPORT -A -POACHER" as well as small
REPORT -A -POACHER cards that can easi-
ly be carried in a wallet, glove compart-
ment, tackle box, or purse fqr quick access
when recording a violation of the Game and
Fish Act.
Where only a handful of O.F.A.H. Clubs
had participated in the past, the effec-
tiveness of 375 clubs is expected to result in
a significant reduction of the illegal harvest
of game.
The program is aimed at encouraging lan-
downers, sportsmen, and the general public
to be aware of the poaching problem, record
the designated information, and report it
immediately to Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources Conservation Officers.
Poaching is a serious and costly crime. It
robs legitimate ethical sportsmen of game
and fish, robs businesses and taxpayers of
revenues generated by hunting and fishing,
and robs all of us of a valuable natural
resource -our wildlife.
No one knows the exact figures, but
studies have shown that poachers kill about,
as many animals and fish as legitimate
anglers and hunters take during legal
seasons. Poachers do not confine their kill-
ingto game species. Threatened, en-
dangered and non -game species show up in
the poacher's bag as well.
Through the REPORT -A -POACHER pro-
gram, the O.F.A.H. helps the individual to
transfer accurate information to a Con-
y Steve Crooke
Servation Officer (C.Q:) by just filling in the
blanks of the R,A,P. card and reporting that
information to an officer. These cards will
be distributed by members and clubs of the
O.F.A.H. on a local basis, so be sure to con-
tact the nearest club and pick up your Bard,
You can help catch a thief! Names of those
people reporting a violation are kept st ictly"
confidential.

Big fish deserve big pries and this year,
over $38,000 in cash and prizes is available
to be won in the "Molson" Big Fish Contest
organized by the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters.
1984 marks the 26th year for the contest,
and entries are off to a great start, especial-
ly in the classes for Northern Pike and Rain-
bow Trout.
So far, the number of entries for 1984 has
tripled, when compared to this same time in
1983. The Live Release category was added
to the Catch and Keep category to take full
advantage of conserving our, fish resources
while enjoying the sport of recreational
fishing. Carefully releasing the catch after
measuring it means that many of the "big
ones" are around for another year to spawn
and challenge Ontario anglers.
The first place entry in each of the 18
classes wins $150 in cash from Molson's, an
Evinrude Electric Trolling Motor, and a
Mitchell 2230 RD reel and matching rod. Se-
cond and third place winners receive $100
and $50 respectively, plus the Mitchell rod
and reel. Fourth to fifteenth places win the
Mitchell rod and reel.
A personalized award certificate and a
handsome print of a Rainbow Trout by
Michael Dumas, the internationally famous
Canadian wildlife artist, go to every entry
meeting the minimum weight or length
standards, which, are as follows: FISH
SPECIES: Largemouth Bass, CATCH &
