Photo by ODESSE Huronia District and most other parts of southern Ontario will once again have a controlled deer hunt. Over the past years it has proven to be an effective way of con- trolling the size of deer herds throughout the district. With mild winter conditions last year this year is expected to produce some good deer hunting. According to Wayne Lintack, Deer Technician Midhurst office of the Ministry of Natural Resources, adult deer came through the 1982-83 winter in excellent condition. This should reflect in mortality rates among fawns born this year. With less mortality rate in adult deer through winter kills last year more does will be fawning. Applications are available from the Midhurst office. They must be filled out and returned no later than August 31 to be eligible for the draw. When filling them out note the change in area 76. This may be of some concern to loca] hunters. I honestly think the MNR keeps changing areas to keep hunters on their toes. It almost seems every time we get used to their boundaries for hunting areas, they change them. The reason behind the early return of ap- plications is simple. If by chance a hunter is not selected in the draw it gives him more of a chance to search new areas to hunt. It is something most hunters have been asking for over the past few years. For those who use archery equipment for deer you are required to purchase an archery validation sticker before heading afield. This can be purchased at most outlets selling deer licences. Smallmouth Bass Moving For those who haven't found the smallmouth as yet the Tomb is producing well from recent reports. Good catches have been coming off shoals surrounding the area. Live bait has been one of the best producers. Salmon Hunt. The Toronto Star's Great Salmon Hunt got under way Aug. 13th and runs until Sept. 25. Salmon fishing in Lake Ontario has become an annual event for many fishermen throughout the area. Who knows, on Sep- tember 17 or 18 some angler from the area may pick up a salmon in Lake Ontario worth one million dollars. That's right, on those days The Toronto Star's Salmon Hunt will have a salmon in the swim worth a million bucks. If it is not caught on those days but is picked up before noon on the 25th it will be worth $25,000. If heading to Lake Ontario for salmon get in on the derby.
