"Most landowners are co- operative with hunters," Mr. Pegg said. "Last year in Huron County we had only three trespassing complaints. Generally hunters are very well behaved. After seasons we sometimes have problems with poaching. "Sometimes hunting can cause huge conflicts. But most hunters co- operate. I'd say 99 per cent of our hunters are legitimate hunters. Some of the animals killed are given to the landowners and that practice isn't unusual. We (Conse- rvation Officers) encourage hunter ethics and sharing game makes for better relationships with landowners and non -hunters." Some of the animals to be har- vested are waterfowl, pheasants, grouse and some game such as rabbits and squirrels. Foxes and coyotes can be .hunted year-round, with some regulations that must be researched by the hunter, due to the high incidence of rabies in these animals. Each type of animal to be hunted has its own hunting season, regulations and licences to be first obtained. Fast approaching is the Huron OUR ELEVATORS ARE READY TO RECEIVE YOUR 1990 CORN said.

County Controlled Deer Hunt which is a four day deer hunt starting Monday, November 5 and finishing Thursday, November 8. "This year is the tenth controlled hunt," said Mr. Pegg. "The hunt is controlled by limiting the number of hunters in the hunt with a validation tag -draw system. This year we have 1,400 tags as ailable. Landowners and farmers with 50 acres or more are eligible for a free tag and the other tags go into the draw. All the hunters must also have their deer licence to which their tag is attached The closing date for application for the tag draw was August 31. "Last year we had about 350 deer killed during the controlled hunt. There is a great amount of deer in Huron County now and we have increased the number of tags. Depending on how harsh the winter is we may change the controlled hunt next year by increasing it to two seasons or one longer season." There are restrictions on the four day hunt and they are available through any MNR office or hunting licenses purchasing depot. "With the higher incidence of deer starving in winter or ending up as roadkill," said Mr. Pegg, "it makes sense to harvest a few of them." IMP Noakes hold reunion at Mt.
