The part many of the Khanguk Iy shining sun creates a warm fcuno name for the Snow goose To sum It up ale man are muted when they reach winter Is reluctant to let spring take over The Credit River Is fairly low and very clear nature has caused the snow to melt slow ly Most of the water has found its way into the soil which will only absorb so much Much of the frost has already gone an abundance of snow still lies in the Credit river drainage system especially between Cat and where It is still four feet deep In places It Is hoping far a lot if we wish this to melt the same as it has done so far If the warm rains bold off and the days stay warm with cold nights fallow log it just could happen The wish is the father of the thought anyway It will be in terestlng to see what Con ditlons are prevailing when this column read on Thursday April Btb THE SNOWS FLY NORTH The snow must go by the calendar for on the 31st day of March the first day of Spring a flock of these red billed red legged snow white fowl were seen at a by Mrs Andy of Char les St Georgetown It must have been a wonderful sight to see these majestic birds winging their way north with their huge white black tipped wing and honking say we back home again I dont believe It Is a common sight to see the snows over head In this area The geese we see mostly are Canada geese The life story of the Lesser Snow Goose an interesting one The following is part of it Its probably the most abun dant of all the geese on this continent Some of the names are misleading in the Caned Ian west ft goes by the name Wavy a corruption of Indian word meaning wild goose In the western and southern States It is common ly called the white brant As its name from beyond the north wind Im plies it a most northerly breeder nesting on the Arctic coasts and fslands of North America It Is found migrations west of the Great Lakes and only as a straggler does It occur on the Atlantic seaboard SUMMER RESIDENTS Sutton found the Les ser Snow Goose nesting or Southampton blond In Hud son Bay While this Island Is not the main nesting ground of this species he found them as summer residents all over the western half of the bland and especially abundant at Cape Kendall where they were found nesting In association with the Blue Geese The following account of the annual program of this goose fs condensed from Sutton Re port The Lesser Snow Goose returns from the south some times long before the snow and Ice have completely melted from their favourite breeding sad nesting grounds usually during the first week In June If they find the tundras cov with snow they swim about In the salt water at the floe or rest on the Ice at the floe edge They do not so they may have to live on such bits of seaweed as they find attach d to the Ice or upon crusta which swim about near the surface of the water The earliest arrivals Southampton others arrive in flocks and mating apparently goes on after the nesting grounds have been reached part of the story on the Snows If any more Is seen by anyone he or will know where they are headed and a silent wish for a safe journey will be In order Thanksgiving Day In the fall of found me on the Island of Moose Factory One day la ter my Indian guide and myself were In the camp of the Crees approximately miles from Hannah Bay on the south shore of James Boy We had arrived there after hours travelling by 22 freighter canoe It was here this interesting spot that I bog a banded Lesser Snow Goose When I received report back it stated that the goose had been banded at Southampton Island on July 1961 SOUND DISTRICT MOOSE HERD REMAINS YOUNG AND PRODUCTIVE of Lands and Forests examined lower Jaws col from moose kills for during last Novembers hunt Tooth arrangement and the degree of wear on molars re veal a moose age Nearly half of the sample repres ented moose born since the 1968 hunting season the season was closed In Only two of the were old timers In the and over age class The harvest of moose in the District is thought to have been somewhat more than 300 animals A mailed survey of hunters now in progress will shortly reveal the actual Information turned in by hunters with the Jaws pinpoints two centres of good hunting south of the lower French ver and adjacent to southwest era Algonquin Park but Individual townships spanning the entire district are repres ented the sample Forty four of the 1S1 moose were shot on the opening day of the day season and only four on the lost day but because the herd was by then almost wiped out An aerial moose cor ried out early this winter re vealed about animals left as many survived the bunt as were shot THE TRAGEDY OF THE WHITE TAILS News from the Department Lands and Forests in forms me that this is the worst winter on record for the deer population The average snow depth some areas 30 inches estimated per cent deer till would not be too far out line Despite this the deer son November 1st to will see no change year regulations That means dogs will again be allowed to accompany the hunter There will he no moose ting this year and probably not In either to quote Mr Douglas Fish and Wildlife in Parry Sound BEAVERS MONSTROSITY midnight but I might as well keep on writing I did In tend to some trout file when I finished page but my wife Beaver has token over at my fly tying table She Is determined to conquer the art A few minutes ago she brought the first one over I laugh In fact I was so scared I quit breathing for a moment She says Well what do you tliink of ft It took me a few seconds before I could answer the doggone hod hook tangled up in It for sure Well sold Its OK I said but don t go throwing that out where I am fly fish I was thinking to myself If she does catch one on ft they will take Just about any thing with the result that a lot of my theories about catching trout will go to pot Well any way more about her fly and by the way its not her first one When she reads this col she will know just what I was thinking The best way to describe the thing would bo to soy that ft resembled a cross between a huge dragon fly and medium sized bat the kind that fly at night A very stiff fly rod and a weight forward line would be necessary to heave the doggoncd thing to and fro and of course when once got wet it would be Bible to lift it out of tho water Of course If a nice sized trout did get attached ti to be polite he probably would swim in to shore and re turn It I am sure my wife Bea ver would show her Hon by gently disengaging the helpful trout from the bundle of hair feathers and fur and return him back to the water She Is still over there Un known to her I am watching and I might say you could com pare her with a surgeon per forming a very difficult If Terry going to cut out any of this column I sure hope this is left in Well I might just as well drive down and deposit this in the mail slot perhaps she will be finished when I return So until next week Tight lines enjoy the
