Veteran hunter always gives it his best shot With the increased number of hunters in the woods these days it would make sense that the number of wildlife would be down significantly. Not so, according to veteran hunter Lloyd Venner of Hensall. This year, Mr. Venner, 77, has trapped over 450 muskrats, an increase -of about 150 over past years. "There's more muskrat now than there were 15 years ago. I can't figure it out," said Mr. Venner. He also says there is an abundance of raccoons this year but that there "are still more muskrats" in the area. Mr. Venner has been hun- ting for 68 years and concen- trates mainly on trapping raccoon, muskrat and mink. He sets about 50 traps and checks them once a day. He hunts in Stanley, Hay, Tuckersmith and Hibbert Townships and has the per- mission of over 125 farmers to Jnmt on their properties. "No farmer has ever turn- ed me down, I've hunted on farms as small as 50 acres and as big as 1.100 acres," said Mr. Venner. According to Mr. Venner the reason for the increased number of hunters is because of the price of furs. "Some fellows trap only when the price is high. I trap all the time just for the enjoy- ment it gives me," he said. The price of furs is current- ly down with muskrat going for $4, raccoon at $15 and mink for $20. Armed with a 12 -gauge Browning shot gun, Mr. Ven- ner is a perfect example of a man who hunts for the sheer enjoyment of the sport, not for pucks that are made through hunting_ "As soon as I could walk I began trapping. Ido it to put in time I can walk as good now as I could 60 years ago," laughs Mr. Venner. Aside from his daily hun- ting Mr. Vender is an active member of the Kippen Gun ('lub, which opens it ranges on May 1. Ile is also a very talented horse-shoe pitcher. Mr_ Venner has travelled across Ontario participating in horse-shoe tournaments. HENSALL SPORTSMAN Hunter and trapper Lloyd Venner poses with his favorite 12 -gauge Browning shotgun.
