Huron County Council Approves Three
Day Open Season For Deer Hunters
(by Shirley J. Keller)
The Department of Lands
and Forests told Huron
County Council Friday that
an open deer season November
3, 4 and 5 in Huron was a
"good idea".
The deer population is
fairly plentiful now and a
deer season would not do
any great harm.
County approved the sugg-
estion providing the adjacent
counties also have a similar
open season on the same
dates.
Live fox pups are required
presently for experimental
purposes. The animals will
be given a new anti -rabies
serum, released and tests
made to discover whether
or not the animal is immune
to the disease. Foxes are
thought . to be most sus cept-
ible to rabies.
It was noted that not all
municipal clerks claim the
ears off the dead fox when
the bounty is paid. Charles
Thomas said it doesn't harm
the pelt to take the ears
`since artificial ears are used
•on fox wraps.
Incidentally, council learn-
ed the fox pelt is gaining in
value now because fox fur
is regaining its popularity in
the fashion world. It is
heped this improved pelt
market will encourage more
fox hunters.
Council was told the bounty
on foxes does not seem to be
doing too touch to keep the
fox population down.
Council has rejected a re-
quest by Elmer Hunter, chair-
man of the local committee
regarding one "General Farm
Organization", for financial
assistance with regard to the
proposed vote in )une.
It is hoped that either the
chairman of the County
Development Committee, Roy
Pattison, or someone appoint-
ed by Mini will attend sonic
meetings of the Huron Soil
and Crop Association.
During Friday's session, a
period of silence was observed
in memory of the late
Elston Cardiff, the late
William Sweitzer and the late
Clayton South, all former
members of Huron County,
Council.
