17 and martin berry 17 1967 hunting prospects are good or excellent tor rnost spec ies however it is noted due to the rapped increase in tbenumber of hunters in the field the average hunter will have to work harder to get his game moose prospects are good in most areas but the number of hunters has almost doubled since 1960 so the percentage of suc cessful hunters will be smaller department of lands and forests officials note that most hunters stay close to the roads and those that go back in would have a good chance of having a successful hunt deer prospects are also good due to the small uu last year be cause of adverse weather condi tions there was a good fawn crop also and since last winter wasnt too harsh there was a small winter uu all these fac tors add up to good prospects for this fall provided their is good weather for the hunt most areas report a good bear population and quite a few will likely be shot by moose hunters deer hunters should get some if the veatber stays fairly warm a cold spell could make the bear hibernate before the deer season duck hunters should also have a good year the ducks axe more widely dispersed this year be cause of the heavy rainfall this summer which kept many small ponds and marshes full of water all summer the large marshes will likely have fewer ducks this year because of this the small ponds are the best bet early in the season until the northern flocks arrive partridge are plentiful throu ghout most of the province in this area however the crop is below that of last year but most of the rest of the province especially in the north report a large population pheasants are plentiful in southwestern ontario and in the niagara peninsula the winters in this area are too harsh to support a large population unless annual stocking takes place rabbits are plentiful this year and snowshoe rabbits are more plentiful than last year snow- shoe prospects look even better next year since the snowshoe has hot yet reached the peak of their nine year cycle an unconfirmed report heard this week indicates an elderly man was killed by a moose in the north apparently he wound ed the moose which attacked and trampled
