It was mentioned the, controlled deer hunts are for only Ontario residents. Mr. Pegg said the Ameri- cans pay 540 for a hunting license and they are usually after squirrels and racoons. He added that these animals are difficult to hunt resulting in complaints of a lot of shooting. iJ "Because of the com- plaints the bag number was reduced from 10 to five squirrels a day," said Mr. Pegg. r. Norris said he had seen the American hunters con his property and asked why the Ministry didn't enforce tres- passing laws. "Did you call us?" said Mr. Creighton. The Hibbert reeve said he hadn't. Mr. Creighton said the Ministry tries to control trespassing, but if they don't know about such incidents it made trespassing control dif- ficult.
