by Brian Berriault It was a blustery opening day for the 1980 deer hunt in Huronia. Conditions were ideal as hunters took to the fields. Hunters were about as plentiful as deer. Neither one could be found during first light on opening day. Predicting a good deer hunt for this year could be iffy without seeing at least a few hunters to get a general feeling. However due to a publication deadline. I can only speak for our own party. Good signs are present in most deer areas. With the absence of hunters deer are not being hard pressed to move. Parties out on the deer chase will have to work out their own whitetails. Ministry of Natural Resources may be able to take a nap as this year's hunt continues. Last year's winter was mild enough to produce a good crop of deer for this year. Sooner or latter a few hunters will hit the magic spot and come out with a few deer. Little shooting has occurred as yet. In fact it has been so quiet a few of us have checked calendars to make certain it was opening day for this year's deer hunt. Bv the time this column is read deer season will be coming to an end for 1980 in Huronia District. By then it is hoped a deer or two will be hanging for our party. If not, there is always next year. I would like to hear of any success had by local hunters. The ministry would also like to hear so if you are successful let the Ministry of Natural Resources know too. It makes for good public relations and helps in keeping track of deer herds throughout the area. During the season deer can be checked at Coldwater or at the Midhurst office of the ministry. With a day of deer hunting under our belts wet feet have not been a problem. Working waterproofing in leather boots can be an Deer hunt slow in Huronia, our man in the field says exhausting job. One way to shorten this rubbing problem is to heat boots first. Pre-heating opens leather allowing silicone or waterproofing to enter deep into boots. This process gives added life to water- proofing and boots. If wet feet are a curse to you try this method of waterproofing boots it may surprise you. Arms may not be so weary giving more time to carry a gun in the field. Some boots are harder to waterproof than others but this method appears to work on all types of leather boots. Have a safe, dry and successful hunt. | Born Losers move into first: Born Loser's are anything but this week as they lead Sunday Sinner's Bowling League in points with 40 while Lucky Strikers are now in second place with 39 following Sun- dav's play in Penetanguishene's bowling alley.
