page 14 the tribune thursday december 7 1972 hunting dont ban it help it to continue for ever by jack watson on oct 19 an editorial hunting ban it prompted a series of letters to the editor they have been pretty even pro and con there is little room to be objective about something you enjoy as much as hunting and there is little in the way of regionalization ac ceptable if you oppose it but what about a hunter who loves that inexplicable urge which grips him each fall who is concerned about our wildlife in 1922 one family shot 86 deer near eels lake in peterborough county these deer were shipped to market in peter borough one days hunt on that same lake some years ago saw forty deer put to water a twelve year old girl christine kerrigan asked in her letter where is the thrill in seeing a deer drop dead before ones eyes christine the thrill is not in seeing a small sleek brown deer churn white snow into a mass of dead leaves and blood as it struggles to its last breath to escape still more fearful of the hunter than the fatal lead deep in its body that moment of anguish for hunted and hunter is lost in the anticipation of sighting the quarry and the blood quickening

redshaw cites that there are more deer in north america today than one hundred years ago not only were there no statistics being kept one hundred years ago but then we hadnt even completed the

deer have sought winter survival where they found the food necessary to prevent starvation another writer james foote credits the lands and forests and conservation authorities with making food drops to prevent the starvation of moose and deer last years efforts in the bancroft area showed that the deer starved anyway in 1956 the boys of north hastings high school in bancroft carried 150 bales of straw and hay to starving deer near coe hill the yard contained eight deer showed that all had starved to death without eating this food recommended by lands and forests and then mr foote defends the hunters quick clean kills and the wounded deer are always hunted down in 1961 during the two weeks after the hunting season ended six dead deer were found within a mile of kingscot lake bruton township in kaliburton county by one trapper all shot and unclaimed and rotting one deer was lying less than seventy five yards from the watch from which the at your service buying selling renting for
