Asking cooperation Hey there, _ bird- watchers. The University of Guelph's zoological department is enlisting your cooperation in a research program on the ruffed grouse. The project is sup- ported by the Ministry of Natural Resources. As part of a continuing research program on ruffed grouse at the unviersity, the team is attempting to collect a sample of eggs from the wild. The eggs are required to provide grouse for use in the research projects. Because of the great difficulty in locating nests, it is necessary to have the cooperation of as many people as possible Anyone locating a nest within one hundred and twenty five miles of Guelph is asked to mark the location -- but do not disturb the nest. Those who locate the nests are asked to phone collect to: Betty Campbell (519- 824-4120 ex. 2703) during office hours or Al Garbutt (519-821-3056) or Don Price (519-821-1207) or Murray Pengelly (519- 824-0255) A member of the team will come and pick up the eggs as soon as possible and will pay the locator one dollar per egg for his trouble The number of eggs in an area will not be suf- ficient to harm the local grouse population. All captive birds are given the best possible care. VN Fin, Fur, and Feather by Bryan Berriault G The warm weather in May brings out the mosquitoes, black flies and those long slender things that slither through the grass. But best of all, it brings out the bush stompers--those men and women that head for all points north to feel the freedom of nature and enjoy fresh air and wilderness living. Back packs containing the necessities of life are strapped on the back of most campers. With long portages these packs are carefully loaded to contain exactly what is needed, including such things as a rope, plastic sheets, first aid kits, warm clothes (especially at this time of year), eating utensils, insect repellent, waterproof matches, maps and food. When all packed and bulging at the seams the weight doesn't seem too bad for the amount of gear, until half way through the mile and a half portage when you start looking for a guilty face you can accuse of putting that extra 50 or so pounds of lead in the bottom of the pack sac. Footwear is very important. When travelling a good pair of bush boots and a pair of running shoes is all that is needed. On portages where the trail is rough going, the weight of the boots will be well worth the effort and at the end of the portage the running shoes are a lot easier to swim with than a four or five pound pair of boots in case of an unexpected swim. Tents in the four to six pound range are a must. Now days good tents for portage trips can be had in anyones price range. In case of leask the plastic sheet is a lifesaver. If possible a lantern should be taken. Rain or dampness can make even the best camper uncomfortable and just by placing a lantern in a tent for a while can heat and dry a tent ina short time. Always keep a flap open or air circulating through the tent, fumes can be harmful. The main objects to consider before leaving are: weight, food, dryness and bugs Canoes should be balanced and light for easier portaging. Some new lightweight models can be run over a portage easily but on the lake they plow in the water, making it an effort to paddle, What strength you save on the portage will soon be lost while paddling the canoe. If the portage is short, and a motor is no real effort to get in, these boats are perfect. Spare paddles are as im- portant as the one you are using. At trip's end, clean up all debris and take it home. By no means will your pack be any heavier than when you went in except possibly an over abundance of fish. I did not overlook the fishing gear that goes without saying. The pack goes on your back and the rod is in your hand, never to be left behind. In a little over a month Little Lake will again come alive with hopeful anglers. The laurels will once again be worn by the winner of the Little Lake Bass Derby. Training camps have not been reporting in as yet but I know some anglers have been getting some early training in. This year we'll have some additional prizes but as yet all information has not been gathered but you can be sure I'll pass it on as soon as possible. June 27th is "D"' day for the anglers, the usual 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. time limit will be imposed. Inflation has hit the Derby with a $7.00 entry fee this year. But with the meal that follows the Derby at the Hunter and Anglers Clubhouse it's still cheaper than taking mother out for dinner. Warren Allmand, the Solicitor General of Canada, who is trying to ram down our throats Bill C83 having to do with new gun restrictions is by no means too popular these days. In April, 800 sportsmen walked out on an M.P. for not allowing equal time to the opposing views on Bill C83. The Bill before parliament is supposed to cut down crimes with guns and crimes of passion according to the Solicitor General. It's up to the sportsmen to fight this Bill. I have registered my complaint to the Solicitor General and donated my $10.00 to Daniel Thomey, 7 Guardsmen Rd., Thornhill, Ont. to help finance the fight against Bill C83. If we don't stand up no one else will. It took an American gentlemen by the name of Gary Kimsey to open my eyes to the true beauty of our area. Gary, who hails from Sweetwater, Tennessee, was in awe of the beauty of our rivers in this area. Being a fisherman, I showed him around one of our local rivers. He was amazed at the quality of the water. I now see a lot more when fishing these rivers than just the potential of a fish. Maybe we as Canadians, do take a lot for granted. I may take Gary up on an invitation to fish his neck of the woods especially when he mentioned a 14 pound largemouth bass being taken with 10 and 12 pounders not uncommon. Bayview students exhibit to life, in the foyer of Bayview Public School. Dinosaurs have been extinct while, but these beasts have come back Volunteers call on households A volunteer from the Huronia Association for the Mentally Retarded will be knocking on your door before the end of the month. The association's fund- raising drive officially kicked off on Monday, May 17 following a benefit wine and cheese party at the Civic Centre on Friday night. The campaign, which hopes to net $25,000, is being held in an effort to raise money for a desperately needed new facility for the Adult Rehabilitation Centre in Midland.
