A technician with the MNR told the Star last week that since the controlled hunt began on September 27, about 275 pheasants have been taken as well as a few grouse, and ducks. The hunt has taken place each fall since 1972 on 450 acres of fields and wooded areas owned by the provin- cial government at the northern tip of Scugog Island. It is carefully controlled by technicians with the MNR with hunters only allowed into the area from 9:00 a.m. Hunters enjoying excellent season to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Each hunter pays a daily permit of $8 which allows two pheasants, and a maxi- mum of 45 hunters are allowed into the area at any given time. Natural Resources gets the pheasants from game farms and they are released into the hunting area each evening. The number released depends of how many were shot the previous day, and the estimated number of hunters who will be out the following day. During the week, an aver- age of about 20 hunters each day are tramping the fields and woods in search of the pheasants and on Saturdays (Turn to page 15) ry Ee -- sa A Sy
