Clinton News-Record, 1983-06-01, Page 19by sieve coolie Don MacDonald of Clinton was quietly moving through an unharvested corn field to take up a stand at the end of a strip of bush that was about 'r2 a mile long. Suddenly he realized that something else was moving along parallel to him, making a rustling noise as it moved through the crisp, dry stalks. With all his srn�®- alert, he m�Jved on, ghosting down between rows wrh�l1 trying to g a glimpse off whatever it was making the noise. He pa sed just inside the edge of the field, trying to get a fix n his elusive quarry. The nois topped, and he had just stepped from the corn when he spotted the big buck a bare 30 yards away. The buck, miraculously, had not seen him. The neck was still swollen, indicating a late rutting season, as he stood stiff legged, ears rwitching and nostrils flaring trying to locate that mysterious sound in the corn that had alerted Don. Slowly Don raised the Ithaca pump, and at the sound of the shot, Huron County's biggest buck for the 1982 season crumpled to the ground. Pure luck? Maybe, to a certain degree, but Don's hunting crew knew there were deer there. Cam MacDonald, Don's brother, had occasionally spotted deer moving in that area before. A close friend of theirs, Jack Carter, who was hunting in a different wildlife management unit, knew the area well, and confirmed their suspicions that it was a travel lane as well as a bedding area for deer. A few pre -season scouting trips quickly showed them the best spots for stands, and the most effective approaches to the area depending on the weather. They had done their homework well, and in the highly competitive, short season districts of Southern Ontario, that's what it takes to be successful. Proper preparation for a deer hunt can never start soon enough. To be effective year after year, the hunter must know where the deer are, what their pattern of movement is, and what they do when the normal routine is broken. And that's only the begin- ning. Next comes landowner relations, something that is more important each year, selecting a hunting method which suits you the best, choosing and educating your hunting companions if you elect not to hunt alone, and coordinating all these aspects so everything is "GO" when opening day arrives. Finding deer in the off season, and discovering what their habits are, go hand in hand with landowner relations. It's no good knowing there's a whole herd off whitetails in someone's back forty if you can't get permission to hunt there, and if you get caught trespassing while out "lookin' for sign", it can be mighty embarrassing as well as expensive. Find some typical whitetail habitat, get permission to hunt there, and then explore and study the area until you know where the deer move, and when. This is something that must be done well in advance of the deer season. Tromping around the bush the day before will tell you very little, and is just liable to drive any deer in the area down to the nearest cedar swamp for the next few crucial days. An assessment must also be made with an early November date in mind. That impenetrable screen, which is impossible to see through in mid summer, may be bald as a billiard table when the leaves drop. Imagine an early snowfall and watch for particular areas which may be protected enough to hold deer through the first icy blast of winter. Always remember that summer movement patterns will be slightly dif- ferent from fall, especially just after the rut, but that traditional migration or escape route will be used pretty well year round. A good start now will ensure success this fall, so don't put it off any longer. Besides, aside from the bugs, an early summer walk in the bush is both en- joyable and rewarding. �nder aces a filly By Lois Gibbitp„s Mary Shobbrook of R.R. 1, Blyth has a new filly foal from her good broodmare Willa Wonder on May 30, by the Bye Bye Byrd sire Roger.

Hully Gully wins It is with great pride that Hully Gully announces receipt of the Canadian Motorcycle Association Organizer's Award for Event of the Year; the 1982 Junior/School Boy Motocross National Cham- pionship. This award recognizes exceptional pro- motional efforts and dedica- tion to the Motorcyclists of Ontario, and is one of the reasons Hully Gully was also awarded the Senior Motocross Championships to be held this year on July 9 and 10. Since 1972, Hully Gully has been heavily involved with motorcycling in Ontario, and has been an active promoter of motocross. Hully Gully has set up a special House League that offers aspiring riders a chance to race under stan- dard race conditions and on one of the most demanding tracks in the province. It's from this House League that many C.M.A. racers have come. With this background, and now with the recognition of the Canadian Motorcycle Association, Hully Gully goes forth to even bigger and better things. Caution in canoeing • from page 18 All canoeists should know how to swim and float_ in the water. The ability to swim develops confidence but should not lead paddlers to overlook common-sense rules. Keep the centre of gravity low by kneeling on the bottom to paddle. Distribute gear evenly over the centre portion of the canoe. Refrain from making sudden moves. Wear a life- jacket or P.F.D. (personal flotation device) while on the water. The Ontario Safety League asks you to carefully con- sider your personal safety this season. CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 19 PAGE 19 Rft4,.
