What are we going to do?" one asked. "1 don't know," said the other, "but ONE of us is going to get a great picture." Peary caribou The Peary caribou is the smallest and prettiest of the Canadian caribou. It is also the least documented. Excluding Baffin Island, it occupies the vast, and largely uninhabited, area of the Arctic Archipelago. Even the extreme northerly islands of the Archipelago fall within its range. In winter, they are ahnost white,. giving way to greyish brown in summer. Their head is rather smaller and more pointed than other caribou. A grown bull may weigh as much as 200 pounds (92 kg) while a large cow will be less than three quarters of that weight. Adult male Peary caribou average about three feet (1 m) at the shoulder and are about five and 'a quarter feet (1.7 m) long. They possess the same magnificent antlers that 5o characterize the caribou species. Unlike any of the other members of the deer family, both sexes of caribou are antlered. The antlers of the Peary caribou are narrower and more upright than other caribou. The main antler beam swings backward and upward, ending in a graceful upward arc. Two main tines branch off the main beam close to the head. One set of tines arc forward while the other set project downward and forward, forming a large flat blade over the animal's nose. There is con- siderable variation in antler shape between individuals. Unlike barren -ground caribou, Peary caribou do not go through mass migrations. However, during the rutting season, upward of thirty or forty individuals will herd together and move to winter range. They may also move from one island to another and, occasionally, to mainland Canada.

Their winter range offers them their diet of sedges, grasses, willows, and forbs. In spring and summer, it feeds on flowers and new growth. Their entire range lies on the bar- ren tundra. No trees offer protection against their harsh environment. The' willows on which they feed grow no more than an inch or two high. Because Peary caribou are sparsely scat- tered over an extremely wide area and because they do not migrate in gigantic herds, they are more difficult to hunt than their barren -ground cousins. The caribou is the favourite game of Eskimo hunters, who are extremely adept at seeking it out. Until recently, the Peary caribou was only available to these Eskimo subsistence hunters, who favor the animal for its fine meat and attractive skin. Limited hunting of Peary caribou has now been permitted to sport hunters, however. Fishing made easier for the handicapped Fishing for your favorite species seems like a simple enough task for most people. You can pick a lake or river, hook up the boat to your car and off you go. Once you ar- rive, the boat is unhooked, launched and you're fishing in a matter of minutes. Sounds like a simple enough procedure, unless you're one of 20,000 paraplegics and quadraplegics in Canada. Well, now it is an easy and simple procedure, thanks to Bill White, the Canadian Sportsmen's Shows, and many other contributors. Bill White, a 46 -year old New Brunswick fisherman wondered one day what life would be like if he wasn't able to go fishing whenever he wanted. He was introduced to his son's paraplegic friend. They had decid- ed to take the boy fishing and found it was no easy task t� lift him in and out of the boat. Bill began to think about what he could do to help the handicapped fishing enthusiast, Enter the Canadian National Sportsmen's Shows, who are Canada's largest non- government source of funding devoted to conservation and outdoor recreational ac- tivities. In the four decades of their funding activities, they have granted over $16 million to hundreds of recipients over the years, and PROJECT ALLFISH is the latest. Along with the other contributors, CNSS awarded Bill White $3,000 for the develop- ment of a 19 foot prototype boat for the han- dicapped, that was designed entirely for the enjoyment and safety' of the handicapped fisherman. Bill hopes this prototype idea will catch on across Canada and many more boats will be constructed. The boat is now complete and will be on display at the Toronto International Boat Show, January 10-18 at the Coliseum Building, Exhibition Place. Bill will also be on hand to describe in detail all that was involved in launching Project Allfish from start to finish. are tops in bowling During December 11 bowling Garry Buchanan had the high single at 289 and the high triple with 749 while Bill Roy had the high average of 208.
