In Waterloo County ;;Lo;;en Laila, declared. Also, there were we! few hunters who were equipped to hunt pheasants. or that knew anything about the birds or their tub"; _ __ -wTGTLarUi ul; -ot comic an eattrelr am My. For one thing the 400 birds that were released. certainly didn't an survive, between the time they were released from their pan and the time The results were only what could be expected. Those few who had good bird dogs, and had previous experience with these crafty birds, managed to make a good showing and had pheasants to take home at night, those who were not properly equipped came home with not much more than an appetite. The amusing part of the whole thing, is that the same thing has been duplicated wherever there is pheasant hunting. Because this was the first time an open season had been held in this area, those hunters who did not get birds, immediately set up a howl. Some of their complaints no doubt got back to members of the Fish and Game Club, but how men in an organization of this type can be inBueneed by complaints of thin nature when they know that it taken several years for a stinking program to take effect, is something to wonder at, Many local hunters complain that the $2.00 pheasant license should be cancelled after the pheasant hunt is over. and that they shouldn't be forced to pay this fee to hunt rabbits. This license ot course was left to the discretion ot the Wilmot Council members as to whether they would charge rabbit hunters the same price as they did for those who had the opportunity to hunt pheasants. They in turn were just an inexperienced as to the proper procedure as anyone else, with the result, that to hunt rabbits in Wilmot Township today, it costs you an extra $2.00 for a pheasant license. in mind, they, through their local representatives, made an offer to Wilmot Township to supply several thousand pheasant chicks, if the Township would procure brooders and supply the feed to raise the birds to a point of maturity where they could be released. It was only natural under the circumstances that the Waterloo County Fish and Game Association should be contacted. They of course professed an immediate interest. But . . . on Jan. s, at their directors meeting, the "conservation" club gove their answer to the Wilmot Council . . . and to the Department of Lands and Forests. They, the conservation club, will do nothing, nor will they contribute one cent towards the raising and releasing of pheasants in Wilmot Township. The astonishing part of the whole thing. is that those few directors who voted against further effort on behind the pheasants. were those that know very little about the birds or about hunting them. In fact, the majority of them were not hunters at All. so they were perfectly willing to ruin a situation that would have provided sport for hundreds of others. Fortunately for the sportsmen of this county, the Wilmot Council when they met on Monday ot this week, decided that regardless or the fact that they would get no support from the Fish and Game Club, they themselves with the help of the leaner: in the township, would go ahead with the care and reluslnc of pheuInts again this year. Wilmot Council members deserve the thanks of all htr-thinking sports- men tor the view they have taken, and the responsibility they have assumed, on behalf of all true workmen and conservationists, after the county conservation club had failed to continue a project that they themselves started. Ontario Has 43 Slayings in 1947 The Department of Lands and Forests, who had had eonaidemble experience with the job ot releasing pheasants. realized even when they sent the birds tor the first planting. that there would not be enough birds left over to mke a second season worthwhile.
