Not only does it have a cover typical of the times that perhaps will become a collectors item, but has also enlarged the listing of firearms that are currently being manufactured. More handgun manufacturers, more rifle manufacturers, more shotgun manufacturers - more of everything that the firearms enthusiast is in- terested in reading. The choice of articles this year ranges from the history of the Beretta to the renewed interest in the Schuetzenfest,. As usual, the SHOOTER'S BIBLE deals with the facts and avoids opinion. From the practical side, in an effort to make the book "user friendly", Stoeger includes both the Gunfinder In- dex and Caliberfinder. These features are further complemented with each major section being tabbed. All in all, it's a cinch to find anything you're look- ing for. This yea►'s book is dedicated to Samuel Colt whose revolving pistol became synonymous with American genius and invention, in honor of the company's 150th Anniversary. This new edition represents a great bargain when you consider the hours of enjoyment you receive at a very° modest cost. The 1987 SHOOTER'S BIBLE is available at better sporting goods stores and booksellers everywhere; or postpaid from Stoeger Canada Ltd., 165 Idema Rd., Markham, Ontario, L3R 1A9 for $19.95 including postage. The following are some comments from the Ministry of Natural Resources concerning the upcoming deer hunt. Mandatory Reports: All hunters who receive a validation tag to hunt deer in WMU 85 in 1986 will also receive a questionnaire concerning the hunt. That report must be com- pleted, fowarded and RECEIVED at the Wingham DISTRICT OFFICE by NOVEMBER 20, 1986. The penalty for not submitting a report is the suspen- sion of hunting privileges in any con- trolled''hunt zone in the following year. Hunters who failed to submit their report in 1985 are not elegible to par- ticipate in this year's hunt. If you do not submit a report this year or if it becomes lost in the mail you will not be able to hunt in 1987. It is recommended that reports be forwarded by Registered Mail or hand delivered to the Wingham District Office. Check Stations: ' All hunters who shoot a deer in 1986 • ate requested to bring their animal to a check station. The future of deer hun- ting in Zone 85 may depend upon the co- operation of all hunters to assist in this important effort. Check stations will be operated from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Wingham District Office, Hulled Provincial WildlifeArea ' 'and 'the 'f'esidekite'of'Joh'P9Itifi idisi•1eli"l'ifi"' Zurich. Your attendance at a check sta- tion would be appreciated. Hunters who Mutually Speaking 13y Steve Cooke • submit a jaw or a hide from their ' animal will receive a deer crest or hat respectively. Comments: 1. Results of the 1985 hunt - In 1985, a total of 1,093 hunters who received to for WMU 85 were successful in to ng 213 deer. Fourteeti per cent of hue ers who received tags indicated that t did not participate in the hunt. Forty hunters did not submit, their mandatory reports by the due date and therefore these hunters are not elegible to participate in the 1986 hunt. The cooperation of hunters in providing us with the information otr the mandatory report is greatly appreciated. The knowledge gained from this data collec- tion is very important for effective management of the resource. 2. Trespass will not be tolerated. Con- tact landowners well before the season to obtain permission to hunt on their property. Wingham Conservation Of- ficers responded to three trespass com- plaints during the 1985 hunt. 3. In the controlled hunt a hunter may shoot a deer of either sex without a special antlerless tag. In addition, a hunter may shoot an ANTLERED deer for another member of his party. Party hunting for - ANTLERLESS deer is prohibited. 4. Many hunters, on their mandatory reports, pass a comment on to the Ministry regarding the hunt. We are pleased to receive your comments but regret that we are unable to respond to most of them. If you wish to discuss a detail of the hunt or make a suggestion we would be happy to talk to you if you give us a call. Many reports suggest that future hunts should permit the use of rifles and dogs, and the season should be later and longer. All of those changes would result in a larger hunter kill. At present the number of animals killed is controll- ed by the number of validation tags issued. To implement any of these sug- gestions would result in fewer tags available and a loss of potential hunting opportunities. There are also other problems associated with some of these ideas. Many.municipahties would not support a deer hunt in the county if rifles -were permitted. A shotgun is quite capable of . killing a deer if the hunter is skillful with its use and aware of its limitations. A good hunter should know the range and accuracy of his weapon through repeated practice and be able to exer- cise wise judgement in selecting his Unlike northern Ontario, where dogs are permitted, southern Ontario's Bike track in good condition VARNA - Motocross racing action return- ed to Hully Gully on August 24. Jim Dickins of Hensall finished seventh overall in the 80 A class. John Kochan of Hensel' f inished tenth in the Junior 125 B class. Brian Keys of Seaforth finished eighth in the 250 Senior class. private lands are usually enclosed by fences. Deer being chased by dogs fre- quently venture outside their familiar territory and are susceptible to becom- ing entagled in fences obscurred by weeds or small shrubs. 5. Hunters are reminded that for deer hunting it is illegal to use a shotgun smaller than 20 gauge when loaded with shot or any shotgun loaded with shot smaller than SG or No. 1 buck. 6. Ammunition manufacturers offer the following comments for deer hunters who use shotguns: Improved cylinder is the best smoothbore choke barrel for firing rifle slugs. Rifled slug barrels with front and rear sights can be purchased for most popular makes of shotguns. Slugs can be fired from these t®aist barrels with f eex- cellent accuracy up 00 yards. SSG loads can be fired from any shotgun choke although full choke pro- vides the tightest patterns. It is best to obtain the highest quality ammunition available. SSG loads have so few pellets they are not capable of providing a pat- tern necessary for consistent clean kills except at extremely short ranges. By planning your hunt and scouting your area well for deer activity you will increase your chances of encountering deer within shotgun range. Wounded deer that are immediately pursued can be very difficut to recover. Waiting for about an hour before track- ing will improve the odds of recovering a wounded deer. Careful tracking re- quires time, dedication and patience. If the animal you hit cannot be recovered only YOU are to blame. REMEMBER - A little preparation before each fall's hunt can lead to many enjoyable and productive days afield. Have a safe hunt. Deer hunting season extended The success of the selective hary est pro- gram introduced in 1980 has allowed the Ministry of Natural Resources to extend the 1986 deer hunting season in several areas in Ontario. "The positive impact of our selective deer harvest program, coupled with relatively mild winters in recent years, has allowed Ontario's deer population to double within the last six years to an estimated herd of 200,000", said Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio. "The extended hunting season will allow more recreational opportunities for hunter& n the coming season, as well as r' ducing problems caused by deer, such as crop damage and deer -car collisions." The following Wildlife Managernent Units (WNIUs) in the Algonquin region will have new archery seasons: 48, 57, 58, 59 and 60A. Anyone wishing to hunt antlerless deer in 1986 must purchase a deer licence, available in early June, and correctly complete and return the attached antlerless deer tag ap- plication to local Ministry districttroffices later to the address on the app than 5 p.m., July 31.
