The ladder allows the
female American eel to com-
complete its 4,000 kilometre
from the Sargasso Sea, south
of Bermuda, to Lake On-
tario. The male eel stays in
the Gulf of St. Lawrence. So,
no longer do migrating
female eels block pumps
when they congregate on the
downstream side of the
Saunders Dam. And the
Lake Ontario fishermen are
happy: they're ensured a
harvest for their expanding
commercial eel trade.

Changes made to 1981 deer hunt
Sportsmen who hunted
deer in Huron County last
year should be familiar with
the management of the con-
trolled hunt in 1981.
Very few changes were
made for this year but all
those who. want to be eligible
for -a validation tag in this
area should be aware of
some important dates.
Applications for the draw
to get a validation tag must
be received at the Wingham
District Office by September
25, 1981. The draw will be
held on October 1, and suc-
cessful hunters will receive
their tags in the mail by the
tenth of the month. The
seasonis open this year for
four days only, November 2 -

County don't have to enter
the draw to hunt'in the zone
where they live. Affidavits
are available from the
Wingham Office and should
be returned there by the end
of October. Validation tags
will be mailed to eligible lan-
downers by mid-October and
will be available over the
counter in Wingham after
October 15.
One major and very im-
portant change over last
year's regulations is the re-
quirement for ALL reci-
pients of validation tags to
Looking Back
return a report to the
Ministry of Natural
Resources about their deer
hunting activities in Con-
trolled Zones. To ensure that
all hunters understand the
importance of this request,
the requirement to file a
report has been put into law.
Anyone who neglects to com-
ply with this regulation
(RSO 591-81: Game and Fish
Act) will be ineligible to
receive a tag for any con-
trolled deer hunt in Ontario
in 1982. The report and prm
letter of explanation wr' be
included with the validation
tags when they are
distributed in October.
Check stations will be
operated in the same loca-
tions as in 1980, and deer
hunters are urged to bring
harvested animals in for a
brief biological examination.
Deer will be weighed and ag-
ed; crests will once again be
issued in exchange for the
lower jaws, and hats will be
traded for hides. The hides
are tanned and given to the
Native Arts and Crafts Coun-
cil located in "Thunder Bay.
