Clinton News-Record, 1985-09-18, Page 16Hunting season
You are probable aware that the small
hunting season opens on a Wednesday this
year. September 25th is the date and there
are a few things you should be thinking
about.
First off, Migratory Game Bird licenses
are available at the Post Office and cost
$3.50, the same as last year. This year,
however, and actual "Duck Stamp" is
required to be affixed to it and that stamp
costs $4.00 bringing the tOtal to $7.50. Anyone
who hunts Migratory Game Birds must have
both licences.
The general duck forecast across the
country is down somewhat from last year.
While it is not having any effect on bag
limits this year, we could have future
restrictions if the populations don't start to
bounce back.
For general bag limits this year, six ducks
may be taken per day, with not more than,
one Black Duck and not more than two Can-
vasback and Redhead Ducks included in the
bag. Possession limit is 12 ducks with no
more than four Black Ducks. Canvasbacks
or Redheads included. This is just a general
outlook for our part of the country, so before
you go hunting, take a close look at the hun-
ting summary.
Wear Orange
The Federation of Anglers and Hunters
are trying to make -the wearing of a
minimum amount of blaze orange a
regulation when it comes to hunting in the
field. While I agree wholeheartedly that it is
in fact safer, I am against any more
regulations that we have to deal with.
The biggest argument for blaze orange is
that it's safer, and that animals do not
distinguish color. While it is safer, recent
research may prove that animals are not, in
fact, color blind. It has always been
assumed that since animals did not have
colour rods in their eyes, they saw
everything in shades of black and white.
Scientists are now starting to believe that
perhaps a different mechanism allows theni
4'
Naturally Speaking
to see color to some degree, although
perhaps not as well as humans. It is,
however, quite accurateto say that move-
ment, rather than color iS the most impor-
tant factor when hunting.
Blaze orange is a great idea, and I
personally wear it for 90 per cent of Inv
hunting (waterfowling excepted) but I still
would not like to have to wear it or break the
law. Quite often if I have an hour or so, I'll
grab a shotgun and spend it in the bush look-
ing for grouse.I like to be inconspicuous in
those instances, mainly because I know no
one else is around. However, when hunters
crowd the bush such as during deer season,
then there is a good case for hunter orange.
In case you don't know about
hunter or blaze orange, I'm including part of
a report from the OFAH here which will help
clear the air somewhat.
In North America, nearly 40 states and
provinces have mandatory hunter orange
requirements. Those areas have all
experienced a dramatic decline in the
number of accidents in which a hunter has
been mistaken for a game animal.
There has also been a significant
reduction in hunting accidents that have
occured because a member of the party was
out of sight when the shot was fired. Hunter
orange makes it far easier for members of a..
party to keep visual contact with each other
,both over long distances and in thick cover.
Hunter orange, first marketed abount 20
years ago, is the only color that will make
hunters more visible under all conditions of
light and cover.
Red, once regarded as the traditional
By Steve Cooke
color for hunting is no longer recommended
for two reasons. Among the 10 per cent of the
population that has color vision deficiencies,
many suffer from red -green color blhidness,
and may not be able to distinguish red
easily, And, early and late in the day, red
becomes difficult for almost anyone to
distinguish.
If some colors aren't noticeable, others
are dangerous. White, for example, is an
extremely poor color choice. Recently, a
'hunting fatality in. Eastern Canada was
caused by a hunter mistaking a white cap
for the white tail of a deer. And yellow, once
thought to be a safe color, appears to be
white under the light conditions of sunrise
and sunset.
Blaze orange - fluorescent orange with a
dominant wave length of 595-605 n.m. (light
intensity), a purity of not less than 85 per
cent and a luminage factor of not less than
40 per cent - is the most easily seen and
recognized unnatural color against a
natural background under all light and
weather conditions.
Hunter orange is, in fact, twice as bright
as natural objects seen in the bush. The •
color glows because it converts ultraviolet
and blue light waves to visible orange,
enhancing the orange reflected back to the
viewer by white light. Those who aren't
familiar with the color have probably seen it
worn by highway construction crews.
Safe Hunting
Please Note: A safe hunter course is being
arranged to start the week of September 23.
